I'm in a really bad depression episode. yesterday I almost called the suicide hotline bc I just couldn't stop crying and the suicidal thoughts kept coming. my bffs from college came up and visited me bc they were worried and it helped but now I feel extremely numb, stuck on the couch, no motivation for anything, I don't even want to eat, or anything... I have therapy appointments setup but it's not until May 9 what can I do to slowly get myself of this?.. any advice will be greatly appreciated.

      It's really really really rough 😭 I generally find that the depression wants me to stay in it and it's incredibly hard to find a way out. I try, and don't always succeed, to look for things that spark joy or interest even just a little bit and let myself indulge in those things if I can. Sometimes that little spark can get things moving again ❤️

      Thinking of you and I know how brutal it is to get Dr appts when we need help… Walks and talking to anyone… being vulnerable is a great step. hope you feel better soon, I don’t know you but you are clearly loved.

        @Struglyfe whenever someone tries to help idk what to tell them i need. it’s hard, how can i be suicidal for no specific reason? i just woke up. i know i’ll wake up in a few days or months and be fine again. it’s an endless cycle of me just switching.

      A random thing that helped me. Drink enough water. Small things help the big image

      Sorry you’re going through this. When I’m stuck with no energy or motivation, I try to find simple things to keep me busy like a show, a video game, taking a shower, or going for a walk. I also set the expectation that even if I don’t “enjoy” it, it’s still a small win that I did something.

      First of all, so sorry that you are struggling right now because I have been there and I know how hard it can be. I’ve been suicidal more times than I’d like to admit. Therapy will help, I also suggest setting up an appointment to see a psychiatrist because meds can help at least to get through the initial hump. The combination can be really great. In the mean time try looking up some mindfulness apps to learn some coping skills to have handy for stressful moments. Definitely utilize those suicide hotlines. Even if you don’t feel like you’re not bad enough to call you can still call. They’ll talk you and help distract you for a little bit and it can really be useful. There are even text lines or live chats if you’re not comfortable talking on the phone. Sending care and wishing you luck on your healing journey 💜
