I’m so depressed that every day I wake up already wishing the day could be over. I’m so bored but too depressed to find things to pass the time and I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. I’ve been holding on for years in hope of things getting better but they never do.

      I'm sorry, I'm in a similar place right now. I honestly can't speak to what might help you, but I have my cat, who makes me feel less alone, and having him encourages me a little to at least play with him and feed him. I guess maybe start out small? Some quiet music while you're in bed? Maybe watch some old YouTubers or shows you used to enjoy?

      Maybe a friend or pen pal. Also find some hobbies.

      What have your thoughts been on meds? Totally not a long term solution but it can give the little boost we need to find those non-medication things that help us feel better! I was on escitalopram for 8 months after suicidal ideation, and have been off since October, and it's tough trying to stay off the meds but they definitely gave me the boost i needed to try to do this!

      I know this isn't helpful, but I'm going through the same thing, it's comforting to know I'm not alone in this. For me a change of environment sometimes helps get me excited, do u have family to visit or stay with awhile? Maybe friends?

      I highly recommend learning to knit or crochet. I started making a blanket for my son and I work on it every time I get too depressed. It helps. 💕

      I think you just helped me realize my depression is getting worse again. I keep forgetting that waking up wanting the day to be over isn’t normal.

      Have you tried EMDR. It is suppose to do wonders. I cannot find a counselor that does it in my area but you should look into it

        @Annetta it worked so well for me!
