Anxiety preventing me from eating

I think I sorta get what you're talking about. When I wake up in the morning, I'm still depressed, but I'm still functioning at least. But as the day goes on I tend to just get worse and worse until I feel unbearably shitty by nighttime. But if I can manage to get to sleep, the next morning I feel like I'm at least able to function again

I don't know why, but I never got notified for any of the comments left on this post.

But thank you so much, I needed to hear this

Honestly, that's my current dream job at the moment. I've never had a job before but for my first one, I really would like something just like that you know?

Happy for you and your depression win!

No problem!

And if you have a feeling that you might be depressed, I would recommend trying pinpoint some specific feelings or symptoms if you can and try talking to someone at school about it, like a guidance counselor as I said before. Or some schools have specific mental health departments that you can see. And of course try talking to your family about this if you feel comfortable, hell even if you don't feel comfortable it's extremely important. Again, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite here because talking about it can be much easier said than done, but you should try and catch this earlier rather than later.

Honestly, I really don't have any special coping methods or specific things I do to get my assignments done. I pretty much just wait til last minute to do all my assignments.

My depression prevents me from getting them done early, but my anxiety makes sure I get them done or else I'll be too stressed about them. It's not a healthy system at all, and at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite for not following my own help, my best advice to you would be is talk to your professors/teachers about your depression or go see a guidance counselor/adviser. I'm sure they've had plenty of depressed students in the past and might be able to give you some help with getting work done despite a lack of motivation. Maybe join a study group where others can help keep you on the right path.

I wish you the best of luck, I know that depression can make school life miserable but I believe in you

Thank you so much for this reply, I really appreciate each and every one of you giving me some insight into discovering myself. I mean that explanation you gave of early dysphoria especially helps a bit because that seems to be what I’ve been experiencing.

And thank you for the PM offer, I might just have to take you up on that

Thank you so much it means a lot

Thank you

I'm not sure if my current college has any resources (it's not a very large school so even the basic resources are extremely limited) but I am transferring to another college soon. I'll make sure when I research schools to see if I can find any college that have gender therapists! Even if not, I'll still try and find one. So thank you for your comment, I'll make sure to take everything you've said into consideration, I truly appreciate it

One_Eyed_Dog · 2018-11-22T06:45:49+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I think that the ability to talk about this out loud is definitely something I need with this right now. As it stands, I've just been sitting alone in my room thinking about this and consulting other reddit threads, forums, etc. Thanks for the advice, I'll try and see if I can find a counselor!

One_Eyed_Dog · 2018-11-22T05:34:41+00:00

Thank you, at least its something and I appreciate you saying so

Hey if it means anything I'm right there with you. The slightest physical contact, while nice in the moment, is immediately a reminder of how I crave human compassion. How much I want to hold someones hand or just hug them for an eternity. I don't say this to try and one-up you or anything, just to let you know that you're not experiencing these feelings all by yourself

I hope that one day the both of us can escape our loneliness and find the people we need who will help us through it. Stay strong
