Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So after getting shot down at the dmv for the 5th time after being released in may, even though i have everything in order, the computer mix ups and the paperwork losses pushed me into a funk saturday that caused me to be unable to get out of my bed and attempt my adsap class, which im sure will now cost me more money i dont have, and push back my progress at least another 8 weeks. but damnit, at least in this moment, i feel that i can over come so....that's something.
hope everyone else is doing well. I know these illnesses from which we suffer can be debilitating to say the least
i really send my very best vibes to you all.
It may sound cliche, but when I was really struggling a few months ago (not getting out of bed on time, bailing on friends) I found that making a routine in the form of a small to-do list helped. Even if it was simple stuff like "take a walk" or "make coffee."
Being able to check off stuff on that list gave me small victories, that kept me motivated and also distracted me enough to at least delay those feelings that often had me stuck.
Just be sure to put fun stuff on there, too. Things like working out, getting outside, or whatever, so it doesn't just feel like you're doing chores.
I hope things get better and you get the DMV stuff taken care of once and for all!
