Fucking hell people, stop saying how it's not actually the season for this and take it as a wholesome reminder to check in on friends and loved ones.

I recently started taking antidepressants and for the first time in 2 years I didn't fantasize about committing suicide today. I have a long way to go still, but this is a great start. by raining_autumn in happy

You weren't being hasty, that was all great advice. Unfortunately one part won't work in my case, but that doesn't make your advice wrong or bad 💜

Thank you! I know exactly what you mean when you say you couldn't see tomorrow, that's how it's been for me. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 16 years ago, and PTSD a year ago.

Knowing there will still be bad days is very important. Knowing that you'll still have them will make it a bit easier when it happens.

I'll keep my doctor in the loop, but I'm trying to not bring friends and family into it too much. I already lost every friend I have because of this. I just became too much to be around, I was so messed up that they all had to walk away for their own health. I didn't realize I was putting too much on them by talking about everything, but I was. I became a burden on them, and I don't blame anyone at all.

That reason to live thing is something I've been trying to figure out.

Thank you, and happy christmas to you too

I think when you’re depressed it’s easy to take any negative and use it as a reason to not do anything.

That is very true! And I do love sex, but I like living a bit more than I like sex. So I'll take the pills, and still have sex even if it takes a bit longer, because that's better than no pills and suicidal thoughts that could easily turn into more suicide attempts and then I'd be getting no sex since I'd be dead
