That was me yesterday 😢
Have a shower. Put a load of washing in next day. Do one thing a day
I feel extremely depressed. 😓💔
What sucks is that my depression directly relates to my health. Ive always been depressed but now that im young with arthritis doing ANYTHING hurts and reminds me of what Im depressed about
These are very good ideas for just making the first step to a healing journey. Thank you.❤
You're the best, doc !
As a person ,who has been diagnosed with severe depression, this lady is making sense. Thankyou ma'am. 😊
❤️🩹
🌤⛅we need sunshine
MOST OF THE TIME IT TAKES ME AT LEAST UNTIL NOON JUST TO MAKE BREAKFAST
I know how it feels cuz i live with depression and just hate sometimes talking to others,other times,im ok,is weird
grocery store to an appointment???? 😂
Humans Don't Get Out of Bed Because of Reasoning that matters they do it out of cause of internal pyschological systems or basically an event
Thank you for your effort.
I can vouch for this. Sometimes I want or need to go somewhere, and I get in my car and start driving and am too tired to go in to the place. Sometimes I feel like if my husband would just drive me there, it would help. Of course he will not.
Tonight, I’m taking a bath and getting dressed so tomorrow I can just get out.
Everyone is gone for Christmas and I’m home alone with my sweet dog. I’m glad as this is all I can manage.
I did plan all their stuff though.
oh no not the grocery store!
THANK YOU. GOD BLESS.
First start with doing nice things they used to like doing to actually start to make them feel better. Like get out of bed have a tea and listen to your favourite song. Not just get up at 5am in winter and go for a walk. I did the walk thing twice that my doctor said before I just did my own things. I told a psychologist that the only thing I was getting out of bed for was to try and make myself a coffee and she then said don’t have coffee because it’s not good for you. 😂 ok I’ll stay in bed all day then 😂 she should have said can you have tea or something without caffeine or something. I did not know how to drive my manual car anymore and had no idea where to put my feet to even turn the car on. I found having a shower felt very uncomfortable and not enjoyable at all and just wanted to get out to get into bed again. It was very strange. Haven’t been that bad since.
Still heaps tired all the time though and having too much to do will really stress me out
Getting out of bed is monumental. Gym suggestion is a joke.
Problem is you gotta push yourself to do that, depressed people have a negative and cloudy mind, they limit themselves with their own negative thoughts or fear of the world (anxiety), which is what takes away the motivation of even thinking of going outside, if you in that position which I was in at some point, how I "fixed" it was by forcing myself to go outside, forcing myself to be optimistic. There has to be a point where you have to stop being miserable and most depressed people know that, but don't do anything to fix their situation.
I know what depression is but I'm very lucky because I'm a boxer and a power puncher. So yes, I'm scared of getting depressed because I'll bleed. Thanks hands!
Boxing saves lives!!
What if the don’t have a friend
That description of depression is intense. I'd imagine that as humanity explores space, there will be times when explorer's will find themselves isolated,purely due to circumstances. It will be fascinating what steps are taken to maintain their mental fortitude.
Me sitting on my phone scrolling through shorts since literally 11 hours..
I think I’m depressed. It’s so hard to break down when you yourself has to be the one to be strong for their family and partner. It’s a catch 22. I will survive though . I have to survive because there’s too much on the line to let go. Thank you for sharing.

Being depressed for years, the only thing that got me out of my room was the gym. The gym was the only place I felt alive and good about myself. I felt blood pumping through my muscles and my skin tightening around them.

I just dont want to exist.
Fuck yea. 1 caveat is pathological demand avoidance (PDA). "Demands" trigger the body's fight or flight response in some ADHD brains. "Demanding" a person with PDA walk causes them to walk less. For PDA in ADHD, Encouragement and support can be done covertly
I thinkI have what people label as "high functioning depression". I manage to go to work, to the store, to friends places, etc, but I still find it to be exhausting a lot of the time.
One step at a time
Is animal and vegetable pils fats helpfull.
Thank you for this. I've been deeply depressed and unmotivated and grieving the loss of three important people in my life just over the course of 18 months.
Today is one of my closest still-living friend's birthday and I've been dreading this all week even though i love my friend very much… At this very moment im laying in bed watching YT when i should be getting ready….
I'm going to put my phone down and get ready. I don't know why I'm struggling so much… But i needed to see this today, thank you. 💖
For me its "go to the bathroom" lol
What happens if you have no friends 😢
Yeah, the other day I went to the planet fitness and I didn’t go on the treadmill, but I went on the most basic sitting recumbent and I did that for at least an hour. I hope that’s OK.
I’ve kept the mask on my major depression for 3 years of marriage and today it just feels like I can’t anymore. I slept 3 hours last night, I’m using my phone to resist the urge to sleep for 12 hours like i used to before marriage. My wife is worried, my 2 yr old keeps asking for me. I don’t know what to do
16 months of pure hell. Hospitalised 4 times on meds. Had to leave a toxic job😢. 52 living on my own no friends no family. One of the worst illnesses 😢. Days of crying getting overwhelmed not eating properly, in bed alot, not showering. Days you dont want to wake up anymore 😢
