Struggling with Depression and Suicidal Thoughts

Yes, I have depression and suicidal thoughts that I really shouldn't be having oven though I have a fair life

Yes, I do feel guilty especially knowing other colleagues have it harder than me. I’m not taking therapy or any form of treatment so not even trying makes me feel guilty. I just… don’t feel motivated.

Thank you for the encouragement and ideas

Don’t feel guilty, depression is a chemical imbalance so you can’t help it. I know it is certainly easier said than done, I completely understand how you feel on that. Like mentioned before, meditation truly does help – just gotta motivate yourself to do it! There are a lot of great meditation guides on Youtube that I’ve enjoyed. I used to think that meditation would never really help, but then I gave it a shot and it really does help. Painting is something that helps (for me at least) as well. A continuous connection with your support systems (friends, family, this app!!) Just gotta find those little things that keep the thoughts at bay at the least. Stay in there, stay strong.

Thank you guys for sharing I appreciate it, it’s nice to know you’re not the only one who feels a certain way or thinks something it’s validating

I have major guilt about my mental health all the time. I have a little voice in my head that tells me that I’m faking it when I know for a fact that I don’t want to feel this way and it’s a genuine illness I’m suffering from. I gaslight the crap out of myself though and it’s exhausting 😅

Yeah, I don’t have depression but I do have suicidal thoughts. I feel like I shouldn’t have them, but I still do. It’s nice to know that someone else feels like this.

Thank you so much I appreciate it it’s really nice to know others feel the same way

Yes! Depression will brainwash you so bad. No matter how many things you have in life, you can be depressed. Even celebrities go through it. Meditation has helped me a lot recently to be honest. I get out of my head and into my inner zen.
