Re: Confession thread

It gets better if you try. You can't just sit around and wait for something to happen. It gets better because you make it get better.

Re: Confession thread

I know.

I just have no energy to try. I wake up every morning and go to work and already that feels fucking draining. I know what I need to do -- I need suck it up and get my work done on time, go out and try to make friends, not ruminate on my problems, take up a hobby, get some sun. But just getting through the day counts as a success nowadays.

That's some top tier depression, OP. It might be time to ditch the stigma and go talk to someone about medication.

Re: Confession thread

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I'm probably exaggerating.

I just make things worse by stressing out over projects and deadlines and doing them at the last minute instead of working on them long-term (like I should be).

Half my problem (at least) is that I don't self-discipline enough and get things done on time anymore. I used to be really good about it but I've gotten lazy.

Re: Confession thread

[herpymcderp]

Haahaaaa everyone does that. Especially if they've gotten bored of their job.

Might just be time for a lifestyle change or a change of employment.

Re: Confession thread

That's not gonna happen. I literally have no idea what I'd do with myself if I wasn't in my current position. And working this job at least gives me the illusion that I'm helping people and doing good, which helps.

No seriously, consider medication. And/or therapy.

I finally sucked it up and did. Now I'm dealing with the shock of realizing that I've always thought of seeing a doctor as an out when it got too hard only to realize when I finally took the out the medication doesn't make me feel any better.

Re: Confession thread

I was there, quite recently. Two acronyms have turned things around for me entirely. DBT, and CPAP. The latter one's a little more specific to me; turns out when you haven't had a sound night's sleep in years, it exacerbates depression pretty badly. But DBT is a really good, comprehensive, evidence-based, results-oriented program, and you should see if you can get access to it.

Re: Confession thread

[herpymcderp]

This, mostly. Sometimes things get better by virtue of time making a painful memory seem trivial. Sometimes things get better by virtue of the people who were making your life hell moving away or succumbing to karmic retribution or whatever happens in life.

A lot of the time if you want things to actively improve and you want benefits like relationships...those things don't just fall into your lap. You need to go out and find them.

Re: Confession thread

[(Anonymous)]

DA. This is true but also... not true. There are some things in life you can't just TRY your way out of. Sometimes life just SUCKS. Sometimes no matter what you do, you just didn't get a fair chance.

Not that I think that people should just give up, but I kind of hate when people think everyone's problems in life come down to just not trying hard enough. This can go for depression as well, some people with depression have it worse off then others, some have tried, and try every day, and things still suck.

Re: Confession thread

[(Anonymous)]

This is a very good point!

Try saying 'it gets better' to someone who's grandpa's just died or who's been diagnosed with a terminal illness. You can't really try your way out of that one.

Re: Confession thread

[(Anonymous)]

(na)

Not always.

I have tried for years and I have a list of how trying has only made things worse, not better.

Things don't always "get better" not matter what you do and I get why people don't like saying that, but it's still true.
