Depression

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, I can never seem to say any of this when I'm actually "me" so I tend to bring my angst to fs!

I don't know how to deal with the way I keep disappointing my parents. I am incredibly depressed right now. I have been for years but it's reached a crisis point over the last month. I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to my life, I've just done it again, and I don't know how to tell them about it. Again. It's funny, but dreading telling my parents that I'm not dealing well again is getting to be one of the worst parts about my depression. I've totally thrown away about £10,000 of my own money this year, got myself in serious debt, put on a massive amount of weight, made myself feel like shit in the process, and my parents are utterly unaffected by any of it (beyond their concern for me), but it's still their reaction I'm most upset about. It makes everything else twice as hard.

If the reaction you're worried about is just disappointment ("just"), please realize that that's the depression talking, and that they love you and want to know what's going on with you. Even if they're upset, they'll be glad to know you're keeping them in the loop.

You know how in movies and stuff, people are always keeping things from each other to spare each other's feelings, and you just want to yell at the screen because it is SO OBVIOUS that the characters would be able to work out their problems if only they talked to each other? Whenever I consider not telling somebody something important, I think about that.

List some short-term but realistic goals for yourself, at least for now. Draw up a plan to stay on top of things so you don't spiral down even more. If things are really bad then you need to talk to a counsellor so they can guide and support you through this.

Good luck, anon. I know how you feel, because I was going through the same thing not so long ago.

Re: Depression

Yes, this. Make the goals specific and attainable within a reasonable time frame. If you can't think of any, find a therapist/counselor that can help you make them.

If you have trouble making goals, list out your problems and then list them again in order of most importance/prioritize your problems. Think of what you can do to resolve those problems, what your needs are and then how you can attain them. If you can't tell your parents about your problems right now so they can't be your support system right now, think of who else can help you, even if it is just someone to cheer you on from the sidelines on every little step of your way.

Formulating a plan of action can help with motivation when you're depressed (also talking from experience). Write things on a calendar. Make a list and have the first thing to check off be "make a list". Every bit of effort you do to help yourself is appreciated. Think of things you do accomplish/positive actions instead of thinking of what you've fucked up. If there's really no one you can talk to, try a crisis hotline. Take deep breaths. :)

Wishing you well!
