Re: How do you cheer yourself up when you're feeling discouraged? TW: depression, mention of suicide

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot. I know I'm MUCH better off than many because I'm not in a dire situation; I'm not in immediate danger of losing my housing and I don't have dependents to have to care for, but still really, REALLY sucks. As a kid, I thought, what's so bad about unemployment?? You don't have to work! That sounds great! But as an adult, I find that it really, really sucks. I'm NOT enjoying my time off, it feels really bad.

I do have a cat, and she is definitely one of the brightest spots in my life. She is one of the reasons why I would NEVER off myself; we have a little codependent relationship going on, and I cannot stand the thought of her looking for me for the rest of her life. Absolutely immediately no. I do also enjoy feeding and watching for a stray cat. He's been so skittish and runs at the sight of people, but he has slowly gotten more used to us, and it's just honestly so sweet and rewarding to see how he has gotten to the point where, while he still keeps his distance, he doesn't immediately take off and hide at the sight of us.

I'll have to look for some good hopeful media to watch. I've kind of destroyed my attention span, as sad as that is, and I have a hard time sitting through a movie or even a 40 minute TV show without scrolling or picking up my Switch or something. (The depression has been building up for awhile, honestly.) But I think that would be helpful, to do that instead of sitting here scrolling through Reddit.

I do need to find someone to talk to. That's part of the problem, that I don't have anyone like that. My mom is great, but she worries so much that I hate to burden her with too much. My partner is a terrible listener and wants to find an immediate solution without hearing me out about why that solution might not be so great, and then gets mad when I don't immediately follow through with said solution. So it's tough.

I really might need medication. I'm hesitant to do that... but I think it might be necessary. I haven't been quite right in a long time now.

Comedy can help. I find things like Whose Line is it Anyway work well when I'm in short attention span mode. Also youtube videos can be good, though I have to be careful about what I pick.

And seriously, it isn't bad or weak to need medication. Mental health is as important as physical health, and treatment really can help, even for a short time.

I feel you on your mother. I'm careful with how much I tell her too. I'm super overprotective of her, and I don't want her worrying about me. That's why I find therapists and people who do what I do helpful. I can just vent and let it out without worrying I'm hurting someone.
