Discussion Are You Like Me?

Here's a checklist:

• Feeling detached from my life.
• Isolated and alone most of the time.
• Hate where I live.
• Barely able to make a proper living or even afford the essentials.
• Getting anything done is next to impossible because of crushing depression.
• Feel stuck between wanting to die and wanting to live, but struggling to find a reason to live.
• Sleep too much or too little.
• Constant intrusive thoughts.
• Avoid friends and family.
• Wasted entire days because of anxiety or depression.
• Lost faith in mental health professionals.
• No faith in the future as I watch my country destroy itself.

How are you feeling now?

I don't mind where I live.

I have no faith in my future but I wouldn't say my country is destroying itself. There are certain groups that would see to it if they got their way. As is the case everyhwere nowdays I suppose.

I identify with all of them.

 

[DontCryForChimp]

Lost faith in mental health professionals.

All of them apply to me except this one. I haven't been to many therapists, counselors, or psychiatrists. I don't have a lot of money to try those things.

How are you feeling now?

Exhausted and worried.
