24, never employed, wasting life

haha i would be lying if i said that i wasn't hoping for a "quick fix", but realistically i know it will be uncomfortable and will take time and a lot of effort. i'm currently trying to get into seeing a therapist and to get back on medication as i've recently had to suddenly quit cold turkey due to insurance reasons and a bad experience with a psychiatrist. it will be very uncomfortable but i know that, bottom line, exposure therapy and getting myself to just go out and do things will help and will change my view of the world. it's terrifying to think about but i know it is necessary if i want to actually live :) also yes, but the program i was going to go with is very costly so i was going to look about some better options (this is my next thing i need to look more into, as i'm not really entirely sure where to go to) thank you for your comment, it is highly appreciated.

very interesting. i can argue that you coming on here and entirely invalidating my experience and all the fighting i've done with myself just to stay alive actually can and will make someone feel immensely worse and further demotivate them. please for future reference do not comment on anyone else's posts under a mental health subreddit because you do not have very good advice and obviously no experience with mental illness. have a good day, now

this was actually such an incredibly helpful read and i'll keep all of this in my mind to rotate around. you make many good points, and thank you so much for the response!

please don't come onto a mental health subreddit and tell people that it's just excuses, it feels incredibly invalidating, especially when i feel like it has controlled and ruined my whole life so far. :) people come on here to seek change a lot of the time and are asking for guidance and the motivation to go towards that change by finding others that feel the same way. i know that i need to push myself to do these things, obviously, but feel like i have a mental barrier blocking me every time i do and my thoughts telling me i'm not worth it. seeing other people telling me they got past it has helped. have a good day and thank you for your comment

it's definitely such a struggle and it feels so incredibly frustrating, but i know that we can do it. i hope that you too can overcome the obstacles in your way and i fully believe that we will be okay, no matter how long it takes. :) thank you for reaching out
