That’s a lot to deal with at once Savannah. I’m sorry you’re going through this but your reaction is absolutely normal for now. You should slowly start feeling better and able to see the upside, like it has now freed you up to explore better options. If it goes on for months, it may be time to seek help. But for now be kind to yourself and do the things that bring you joy.

I have major depression since childhood. I found the best therapy is touch and affections. Seeing doctors does not help me.

Hi.... I’m sorry that your having a tough time. But all those feelings are normal when ur sad and it’s ok. You feel betrayed by everyone I assume. I have been there and kinda in same situation as you right now. But what I do is join groups like this to find ppl who can relate to me. And I believe all happens for a reason and that god has a better boyfriend, friend and job in mind for you. Sometimes we have to have loss to build ourselves back up stronger and better...

Hiya Savvannah

I'm sorry that you've had to go through so many things at once. The fact that you have shared your story is a major step so make sure to give yourself a pat on the back for seeking aid :D

When my depressive episodes get the better of me I try to make sure i follow some healthcare checklist to make sure you're looking after your body and mind.

An important thing to note is in moments like this, it is easy to fall into the trap of feeling that you don't need/want to selfcare yourself but this is the most important time to practice self care and if that is what you can manage in a day that is a big achievement.

The video link above is a self-care checklist I use myself to make sure I get the basics done for my wellbeing. Note: Sometimes it helps to lift me up but sometimes it just makes it only a little lighter but the important thing is that I still did as many as I could.

If you aren't keen on the video itself, they have provided a pdf version of the checklist too which you can put onto a wall or write down somewhere to look at later :)

I really feel you in moments like this because its hard to go on.

Hello Savanah. Welcome to DS. Sorry for what brings you here but glad you are here.

After 40+ years of psychotherapy, I have yet to find a quick and easy way to pull myself out of the proverbial darkness. The quickest way out that I have found is to quit looking for quick and easy cures while I focus my attention on plying therapy tools to pull myself out, bit by bit.

This very post is a good example of one of my front-line therapy tools. Getting my psycho snot knots out of the proverbial closet and into the light of day makes them allot easier to untangle.

Hope it helps you, too. Sort freely. Sort often.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out. I suggest keeping a private daily journal to help you sort out the words, feelings, emotions, and thoughts to make a better balance as you continue to make changes for your well-being.

In the loss of your job, your boyfriend, and best friend all within a short period of time gives you the opportunity to start fresh. Clean the slate of the past, learn from the experience, and put all the skills, abilities, and knowledge you have gained to a positive direction.

You can choose who you spend time with (especially learning to get to know you inside and make friends with yourself), you can explore new job opportunities, and you can make independent decisions without having to consider anyone else's input.

Go For It! You have our support, understanding, encouragement and you're not alone in this!

I'm so sorry for you great losses, and know it is so hard to deal with it all, esp at once. Show yourself grace, give it time and remember the good times. Writing out good memories of your best friend, or doing something in honor of them or donating to a charity that represents them might help you deal with the loss in a positive way, or maybe even volunteering. Regarding losing the bf, write out the bad things about the relationship to help you remember that it is a good thing to end some relationships. Re the job: just keep looking, you will find an even better one. Take care of yourself, take your vitamins to give you the nutrition that helps you deal well with the stress of it all. Take walks to work thru it mentally as you walk and put it all behind you, there is some thing cathartic about that. So sorry, again for your loss. Praying for you. <3

Hi Savannah,
I am sorry that you are dealing with the losses of all this at one time. think that you should just take your life one day at a time.Look at your strengths through these hard times, it is a strength that everyday you get out of bed. Even-though you struggle to get out of bed, you still do it which is a start to a fresh new day. Maybe you should join other support groups or reach out to family members that you could talk too. Do things that will bring positivity back into your life. When i was going through deep points in my life, I turned to a healthy eating and diet system. I made myself go on a schedule that would benefit my mental health. Find your happy medium if its exercising, watching a tv show you love, find anything that you can do that will get you out of the house, maybe even go for a little drive to calm your emotions. Focus on taking care of yourself, this is the beginning of a new journey for you. It may be scary now, but after a little bit of time you will feel better. You got this!
