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.
last night I promised myself that today would be a new day where I would try very hard to get everything I needed to get done and actually work on my mental health and prepare for upcoming big social situations since I have social anxiety, but I can't do it, I'm not even trying to be discouraging towards myself, I seriously cannot do it, I get this paralyzingly feeling everytime I try to stop myself from doing a bad decision, I made many bad decisions today, and now it's 8pm, time flies, I wasted my time, I destroyed this day, a day I will never get back, I keep on messing up and I don't know what's wrong with me, it's like I'm incapable of change, it's just too fucking hard to do, I can't think of one thing I stick to that, I'm good at nothing
1. Self-criticism I make a list of suggestions for myself when I make mistakes and then try to let go. Putting it on paper gives me a feel of finality, I haven't ignored an issue, but noted it and proposed some solutions for myself.
2. Modest Don't be too ambitious. Try instead to give yourself a few modest things to do, and work to do them.
3. .Social Anxiety Its funny, I was not particularly popular but had a family member who was, so I learned a lot. Start with a smile and interest in what the other person says or does. Everyone wants to be appreciated. Then calmness and not taking things too seriously, no drama, worry, just a fun person.
4. No, increasing pressure does not help There's a mistaken belief that if puts pressure on yourself, you will perform better. Going to the Super Bowl in front of 100 million fans, the coach will say this is just another game. good coaches don't work on the end result but the process, winning will take care of itself. So don't push yourself too hard. Instead, I'm going to go to a party, smile once, give a compliment, and ask a person about something that interests him or her and if I do that, it will be a success. ,
