Anxiety & Depression Hell..*TRIGGERS*

[SA89]

She said she can relate to me & its just refreshing I guess . I don't understand how every1 around me like my peer group seem so care-free. What are they doing that I'm not? Why am I so emotionally imbalanced in contrast?. Sure they maybe masking it better, but u can still tell that they've got it together socially. For them this is the best time of the year, partying, frolicking u name it. For me this is the absolute worst. It only empathises my loneliness & how another year of misery has passed me by..

I really think that you need to be working on finding ways to meet new people and to get out more itms?

[SA89]

I asked my counsellor "Is their any way to get out of this, when u've been this low for so long". She said "Yes of course!". Somehow I don't believe her..

[Paula]

There is, she's right

[Suzi]

There really is.

Just believe her, hang on to that straw, focus on to that spot of light in the distance, never give up hope and you'll get there.

Ye I think having somethin to strive towards is really important. I have nothin to look forward to & that's whats kept me stagnant. I need to learn how to 'rise above' my vile overbearing brother. Him & his friends are pot-smoking parasites that talk in gangsta slang. It shouldn't affect me but it does because I have to listen to them non-stop.

I think that your Mum needs to step in with him...

I've heard people say that u need to be spiritual & have a plant based diet to get u through this. I'm not religious, I don't meditate & I eat junk like most people (but I also eat fruit). Is a typical lifestyle sufficient to get u through it I wonder

[Paula]

Having a healthy lifestyle does help, of course, but, no, I don't believe it's the answer to depression - the illness is far more complicated than that
