You know the feeling of depression that I'm going through right now is so hard. I try to remember im blessed and remind myself that I'm ok but i can't help but feel super sad lately? It's like I don't want to get up out of bed or do anything. I'm not even sure why I feel this way I think im just not feeling fulfilled in life. It really feels like something physically is holding me down and I can't get it off. 😪

Igy, I've been dealing with it for a while now, trying to inprove. I've just understood and accepted that the brain is the most complex prison... You just gotta focus on what you see and can interact with rather than staying in your head

I used to drink all the time and eventually started anti depressants. Took a year and a half to find some that "worked". It seems to be wearing off after 5 years. When you realize everything is pointless since the end is always the same it makes it hard to want to do anything. But what helps the most is small victories. Get out of bed at a reasonable time, shower, eat breakfast. One of the hardest things about depression is the lack of motivation which feeds the depression. You have to be tough on yourself.

Sorry to hear that you are going through something as difficult as depression. I know how you are feeling cause I'm going through the worst depression I've ever felt. It's hard to get up every day and hold on to the smallest bit of hope you can muster. But I'm trying. I hope you well . Reach out if you need to talk for any reason

Times like this I'd remember to lean into your social circles and if you don't have any, start making some. Community and a place of belonging in one is one of the biggest contributors to depression. Not the only one, obviously. But i feel for you. Remember to take things one step at a time and break tasks down into their smallest components to avoid feeling overwhelmed. You might be pushing yourself.

"Depressed = deep rest" your body needs the rest and a safe place to process whatever you're going through, conscious or not. And don't be hard on yourself ♥️♥️♥️ rest is productive too

Ahh, I can never feel the pain you must be feeling right now but I know and I understand what you must be going through. Bcoz i knew someone very close who also suffered from severe depression and I always tried to be there and be a good listener. What i tried is to keep diverting her mind by talking to her about different stuff, general topics discussion and also tried to give her company at most of the time. So, you need a friend who can be there for you and keep you good company.

See. It's hard, you know that. You gonna feel bad, sad and might cry too. You gonna feel like every bad thing will happen to you. But truth is, it's all in your mind. It will all be okay. You can only eat food when you use the hands. So you gotta push yourself. Try keeping yourself busy. Try to think about the good times. Talk to someone you think will listen. Remember that You are not alone. It's not easy but it's also not very difficult.

Sorry to hear. Get good sleep. Do physical activities, pmus 10k steps a day. Eat healthy, unprocessed food - ideally plant-based. Manage stress. Those are your 4 pillars of good health, which controls your mood as well. Be consistent, cheering for you 🙂 (edited)

I find that talking/spending time with friends helps, If they're all busy I listen to music or practice bass, or spend time with my dog. I've been in a rut myself lately. Recognizing changes to my body from getting older and thinking about family that's no longer around has been sending me down a rabbit hole of just blah. Slowly getting out of it but some days are hard. I hope you find a way for you to cope that helps. Hang in there 🙂

Depression doesn't exist naturally. It's connected to the endocrine system and is to do with chemical reactions and imbalances. A lifestyle change will make a marked difference to any anomalies you have. If you go into my profile under the comments section you'll find a comment I made regarding depression and the vagus nerve. Please try to read it as it may be a game changer for you

It's like a knot, tiny and impossible to see w the naked eye. You must do things to lift your mood while taking the space to dig within your mind for a cause. Helping oneself plus introspection always did me justice; practice begets improvement. (edited)

The first time you do anything will be bad. But you won't get good if you never start.

Your first attempt might be messy, awkward, or even downright bad—and that’s completely okay. Every skill, passion, or goal starts somewhere. No one begins as an expert. The only way to improve is by doing, learning, and trying again. The more you show up and try, the more confident and capable... read more

When change happens within you, change happens around you.

The more you align with who you are at your core, the more the world around you will reflect that back to you in ways that feel meaningful and real.

Don't let the regret of unfulfilled dreams haunt your spirit.

Life has a way of leaving us with questions about the choices we’ve made and the paths we didn’t take. Regret isn’t a sign of failure—it’s proof that you’re paying attention to what matters to you. Even the missed chances and mistakes have taught you something valuable. You can’t rewrite what’s... read more

Live your life. Move towards what feels right.

Let yourself shine unapologetically, and don’t hold back. When you celebrate yourself and others with an open heart, you create a space where happiness feels natural and effortless. Keep following what feels real to you—you’re already on the right path.

When you stop chasing what isn't yours, what's meant for you will find its way.

Life has a way of falling into place when you stop running after things that don’t feel right for you. Sometimes, we get so caught up in trying to make something work that we lose sight of what truly fits. The things that are meant for you won’t require endless chasing—they’ll meet you halfway.... read more

Life moves fast, and inspiration doesn’t always stick around. When an idea excites you, act on it. Waiting can dull that spark, and what feels urgent today might not feel the same tomorrow. Don’t let hesitation or overthinking hold you back. The energy you feel right now is powerful—use it. What if... read more

Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn't give you credit. Live your life with purpose, not to seek validation.
