see a doctor about it a psychiatrist can give you an evaluation and perhaps give some med that will help beat this.....

You can definitely get help for yourself. Joining a support group is a great start. Don't be afraid to seek out the help of a doctor or counselor because a proper diagnosis can work wonders. All of us here struggle so you're definitely not alone. Do you have any self-care methods you like to use to help cope?

I have very few but I'm limited to even the few due to my living space. I'm working with very little like maybe one or two.

Welcome to DS, friend!
I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through, friend. I so appreciate your willingness to share about your struggles. Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. I know it’s not easy, but I believe it’s necessary for you to get help without any delay. I’d suggest that you talk to a therapist. Do you have a support group nearby where you can connect with people regularly? I just said a prayer for you, and I hope that God will surround you with His healing presence and provide the strength and help you need at this time. Please know that you deserve to feel better and you don’t need to carry your burdens alone. You can always share your heart out and we’re all here to support you. Hugs!

No I don't and I don't think there's one around here that I know of.

Welcome to this group. There are many people here who can relate to you and they are ready to listen and offer support. I also suffer with depression and anxiety. I would suggest that you make an appointment with a psychiatrist who can make a diagnosis. The doctor will decide if medication is needed. They may recommend that you talk with a therapist or counselor.

Please consider other options and don't just jump straight at getting medication. It should be a Last resort but everyone wants a quick fix these days.

Until you have the strength to fight your battles possibly try to bring news things into ur life. Like fun activities as harmless distractions. A busy mind is a happy one, meaning your mind doesn't have time to fall into the sadness pit

. Excercise is always a great solution because it literally releases happiness into you despite whether you want it or not hahaha. Even start practicing drawing or learning guitar. All these things give you a wicked feeling of accomplishment as you slowly progress.

Once you've gotten into it abit perhaps you can challenge yourself even more?

Gather all your strength and courage then push yourself to join an actually class! Like an art or bowling or sport or language or music or whatever class! This enforces a routine schedule and encourages you to go even on the really bad days when you can't pick urself up. That also offers you social opportunities and you could broaden your network maybe even make a new friend. Less lonely.

You might not struggle and hate on a Monday shift at work if you know you get to go to your fun class after work!

A friend of mine has decided to learn how to become a blacksmith! Crazy but he says don't let depression ruin the only life you're given.

These ideas might seem silly but the only thing that if going to change ur life is if you make the change. Depression might seem like it's turning everything black and bad but you'd be surprised at the amount of things that can fight through the blackness.

I have gone on a search for tools. Reading a 12 step study or inspirational quotes have helped. I like to remind myself:
"Accept the things you cannot change
Take courage in the things you can
Gain the wisdom to know the difference"

"Do what you can today, tomorrow is new start"

"It will never kill you by taking the time to clear your mind" I use to stress out about being late at any point in my life and it would stress me out to the max. I began to think if it was really worth it. Then I learned it is better to loo divine then always be on time!

Finding myself has given me so much peace. It takes time and dedication!
