@alex_02 - I understand that completely. There are systemic factors in play that INTENTIONALLY keep you separate from others. Depression is often a symptom of those (and many other things) and can further isolate you.

Take care of yourself as best you can. Be open to receiving help from others as best you can. Forgive yourself and be kind to yourself as you struggle.

@tinker Well I'm attempting today to reset my sleep schedule and set alarms again to start getting into a proper routine. Also need to clean my room and make it neater as well. One day at a time I guess.

@tinker @alex_02 Just started mental health therapies myself: SSRI last week, TMS initial appointment in about an hour, and CBT therapy hopefully next week or after TMS (will see).

Life's rough sometimes. <3

@alex_02 @tinker Good moves. I always focus on the fundamentals: good sleep, regular healthy meals, and regular exercise (even a daily walk). Then build upon those to do the other things that help you feel better (which differ per person - creating things, socializing, making a short to do list and checking things off as you accomplish them, etc). Hope you start to feel better soonest.

This is how it's done.

Doesn't sound sexy but I'm really not kidding. Sometimes it takes just starting small and figuring out how to get done some very fundamental things that you need for your health in order to function at all. Sleep. Food. Hygiene.

Are there any peer support services in your area? You can look up your local chapter of NAMI, or other organizations like 12 step groups etc, free meetings you can access even just at home by video or don't even turn your camera on if you're not up to it cause you're just that deep in the couch burrito of blankets and angst.

This is psychological warfare. Somebody wants us miserable. The fight starts right here.
