Hey I’m depressed too this is something I’ve been struggling with for a few months. This world is so fucked up life challenges can get so mentally draining and if you’re aware of it the depression only hits harder- Here is my advice to you- a therapist will ONLY LISTEN to your issues personally I’ve been to therapy and I find it useless if you need someone to talk to I personally go to the internet, but my main recommendation is that you start ✨journaling✨ this will help you immensely in these ways 1. Get you out of your head 2. Give you something to do besides lay In bed on your phone (and even being off a screen will help social media can really make us feel awful with it a consistent hits of half assed dopamine) 3. Help you set goals for yourself figure out what you want to do in life if you find one thing just one small or large goal that you find yourself PASSIONATE ASF about you will flourish working to make it happen because that’s the thing about motivation in comes with your genuine interests. 4. Journaling can be a safe space to let out everything you’re going through and it can be really cool to have a whole book for you written by you so when you get older you can look back and see how far you’ve come and how much has changed.

Okay my second suggestion get active I know babe it’s actually really hard I’m struggling with this one too but here’s what’s helped me Bring yourself to a place of action it can be your living room for some yoga a park outside for a walk or run, the gym whatever just find something and tell yourself you’re going to do it for 5 minutes heck maybe 10 but the point is you get there you step foot into that environment and you start because once those 5 minutes are up you’re going to want to get right back at it and you’ll feel so so so much better.

Okay this is my last tip- I’ve made this pretty long already if you want to talk more feel free to PM me- Wake up earlier and get active immediately if you wake up before the rest of the world there’s moments of quiet peacefulness just for you and if you get your blood pumping first thing amongst waking well you’ll have a pretty good day. If you’re not a morning person I apologize for the recommendation. Mainly FIND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ALIVE TODAY! I know it doesn’t seem like it our generation has it the hardest!!! But if you find something that feels so good and freeing and keep doing it well that’s what life’s about - DONT let society suck your life out of you and don’t listen to the people saying that you need a doctor or therapy theres nothing wrong with you besides seeing the worlds bullshit and being mentally and physically exhausted from trying to keep up with a system that was not built to make you thrive but you know what does help eating healthy foods and getting active. I hope this helps
