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.

Depression

It's really really really rough đ 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 â¤ď¸

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 donât know you but you are clearly loved.

@Struglyfe whenever someone tries to help idk what to tell them i need. itâs hard, how can i be suicidal for no specific reason? i just woke up. i know iâll wake up in a few days or months and be fine again. itâs an endless cycle of me just switching.
A random thing that helped me. Drink enough water. Small things help the big image
me too, i was manic for months and i woke up and the thoughts were rushing in. iâm still depressed..anyways i hope youâre doing well <3
Sorry youâre going through this. When Iâm 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 donât âenjoyâ it, itâs 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. Iâve been suicidal more times than Iâd 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 donât feel like youâre not bad enough to call you can still call. Theyâll 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 youâre not comfortable talking on the phone. Sending care and wishing you luck on your healing journey đ
@Sandia721 Also feel free to dm if you need someone to chat with
