The pandemic has allowed me to focus on myself and make some improvements.
It depends on each person. Someone who got laid off and were stressing over making ends meet probably had a terrible year. Mine was just so-so
Worse than ever. This time I don't even give a f*** either not even trying to get better.
Comes and goes in waves. Sometimes I'm feeling awful like never before, sometimes I'm feeling on top of the world.
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil, because I'm blind to it all
And my mind, and my gun--they comfort me
Because I know I'll kill my enemies, when they come.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell on this Earth forever more
Said I walk beside the still waters and they,
Restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of the right, because I'm wrong
...and I walk beside the still waters and they, restore my soul
But I know when I die, my soul is damned.
I'm sorry. You shouldn't have shame over it.
I think most people think about suicide at least some point in their life. You just happened to try and go through with it. I came very close to suicide from my OCD around thanksgiving and ended up in the hospital for a few weeks. New medication and therapy have been pretty lifesaving. Working out, meditating. None if it is a solution but it all helps. I really believe it gets better, at least I think it is for me right now. Even knowing that I can always go back to the hospital if I ever get in that place again is very reassuring. I wish you the best.
thank you for your reply mate
i've been having these thoughts since i was 15 or so and im 6 months shy of 22 now my psychiatrist ran out of treatment options now, because we've tried pretty much 2 antidepressant from each class available. one worked too good, but the side effects were hair loss and blood pressure drops to the point where I would faint.
i just take benzodiazepines to calm me down during the day.
i'll need to find a psychotherapist but that's a tedious process because the first one isn't necessarily good, and the 2nd and 3rd might not be either.
happy to hear that you're somewhat/relatively well compared to last year. good luck to you as well
I was dealing w getting cheated on, plus i get pretty depressed and isolated in the winter as is, and dealing with covid restrictions on top of that. S*** really had me down, but the past couple weeks ive been turning a 180. the weathers been crazy nice, plus ive been actually seeing my friends, getting outside more, hanging out w my new girl
Cant complain tbh

reading this reminds me of my own experience. i’m glad you’re here fam. the fact that you’re still here and still trying to do better despite your situation is proof that you’re a remarkably strong person. be proud of yourself
