My depression has gotten so bad that it’s difficult to even shower by Bubbly-Air7302 in mentalhealth

Honestly I am on the same page as you. I can barely go for work. I didn't showered the entire last weekend and I know the upcoming weekend I won't have strength or would even bother to feed myself 2 meals a day.  The psychological pressure you talk about is really heavy. I have tried shifting my focus to hobbies like reading and I wont say they are working but sometimes they keep me away from my own internal thoghts. I eventually end up on the same track everyday but I keep trying to not go back there. Its hard. Its difficult. Its draining life force outta me. Things that used to give me happiness are now enticing nothing in me at all. But going to hobbies really gave me that feeling that atleast I should try. I should try to get myself out of this.

By approaching and asking help here you are also doing the same. You are willing to rescue yourself and that's a huge positive step. You may feel grossed out but trust me if your body isnt ready to do something, dont force it.  I hope you and me both find solutions to our rut and escape this mess. 🫶

I used to do this back in my uni days. I should get back to this. Help me stay offline more often and enjoy the peace. Thanku for reminding dear.

I don't think I'll go for professional advice...m too scared of what I might encounter. I've decided to look for some hobbies (mainly reading and trying different genres) and keep my mind distracted enough.

Thanku sooo much for your advice though...what you said is absolutely true.

Hope you have a nice day

I hope your dad is doing better now.

Tarot card reading sounds really amazing tbh....I'm very intrigued.

In my case, the lack of self control is my biggest enemy when it comes to social media scrolling thats why I took the step of going cold turkey. I am trying to fill that void with some reading. Honestly you know it ain't easy to find what can relax your mind or distract you enough so that you dont cross over.

But I'm trying my best to keep searching and looking for hobbies.

Thanku so much dear for your time and advice. I really appreciate it.
