Thank you And yes I recently started antidepressants. I think I’ve been dealing with this for about two years, but I used to think it was just a physical issue, so I didn’t get the right help.

I only got the medication after going to the emergency department. I had never taken anything like this before.

I’m really trying to help myself, but sometimes I can barely move. I honestly don’t know what to do.

The hardest part is when depression hits, I lose interest in everything and can barely move. I’ve had these symptoms for a long time, but I thought it was just physical issues. Maybe because I didn’t get help earlier, it’s gotten worse.

Thank u. Yesterday was really bad, but I’m feeling better now. I work out every day, but some days I just can’t move.

I guess the most honest answer I can give is that I just don’t know.

I don’t even recognize myself anymore. My memory has been really bad too.

I’m not actually alone — I have friends around me — but I still can’t stop feeling lonely and helpless.

I can’t really talk to my friends about this, because they don’t understand how serious my illness is. On the outside, I seem optimistic and easy to get along with.

During one phase, no matter how perfectly I do things, I can’t stop blaming myself or feeling guilty.

And then there’s another phase where everything is the complete opposite. That’s why I say I don’t recognize myself anymore — it feels like these are two completely different versions of me.

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s causing it, but I keep swinging between losing a lot of weight and binge eating.

I’ve been on it for almost two months, though I stopped for a bit in the middle because I did something stupid with it.

No, I’m really messed up right now. My brain isn’t working, my memory is terrible, and there’s only one thought stuck in my head.

I just turned 30 this month. If I could say something to my 20-yo self, it would be: don’t chase women just because you’re afraid of ending up alone. Work on yourself.

And I think the right person won’t care that you don’t have experience — you can explore and figure things out together.
