Anyone else feel an overwhelming sense of uselessness and ideations? Like no matter what you’re doing, where you are, or what time it is you just passively have them? I’m looking the will to get out of bed more, I can’t even stand in the shower. It’s gotten into my dreams and now I don’t even want to sleep, just naps. I have no idea what’s causing it anymore. I was my meds, then it kept going when I changed them again. I’m trying super hard to take care of myself so they can go away and I can be productive but it takes over my whole day. I can’t even mask it anymore, and I’m afraid it’ll make me end up truly alone. I’m smoking 🍃 to help calm down, I’m on 10mg citalopram and Welbrutrin now, and even with turning 21 I don’t drink or do anything that could effect my mood. Is it trauma? The meds? Stress at work? I have no idea. I just feel so undesirable and annoying that it would be so much more convenient is I wasn’t around. It’s not right to think but idk how I can stop it.

I’ve been the same way for almost two months now. I’ve been out of work for a month and I’m scared of losing my job. I wake up every morning telling myself I’m going to work and I start getting ready and I feel fine. I just can’t get out the door and to work. My depression has been at its worst ever now and before that when I was going to work I would have panic attacks almost twice a week which had my anxiety at its worst. To top it off my OCD kicks in so before I know it, the day is almost over. It’s like all my mental health illnesses triggered at once and I don’t have a answer of why it happens and my medication doesn’t work. My only addiction is soda and I’ve cut back tremendously after being put on toperiamate. I hate confrontation with supervisors because of a previous one that gave me PTSD so I can’t reach out because I feel like everyone thinks of us with mental health problems as if we make this shit up - we literally can’t explain what the fuck is wrong when we don’t even understand it, I hate that others don’t understand that or they don’t have no freaking empathy! This world is so hateful and it’s driven me to have horrible mental health illnesses!

If you’re still getting these feelings you should really consult a doctor to possibly get your meds changed or increased. I know 🍃 can keep you calm momentarily but it can increase anxiety in the long run, and is usually not advised to use while you’re already taking medication for anxiety, if you have to smoke, it’s probably time to have a chat about what options you have.

I've been dealing with similar feelings for the past few months myself. All I can do to feel even a little bit better is remind myself that nothing is permanent

@Wowasake THIS!
I'm sorry I've been feeling the same way
I have some advice:if you can try to stop smoking bc that can increase anxiety and start with small steps to get out of bed ex:Try to sit up, then after a few minutes try to get up then after a few minutes get some water then wait a few more minutes you get the point. But there's some tips :) I hope some of that helps :)
