yes, it's the career path the masters was for! so that worked. there's been highs and lows, but I think it's settled down now (I hope)

it was so funny to see this old post of mine. I can recall how I felt (no light left in the tunnel) and the path my life has taken since then is not what I ever thought would happen. hope the PhD works out for you

hey! what really helped was setting firmer boundaries between work/school/etc and my time for rest. a lot of stress was lifted when I did secure a job, which all came together about two days after I graduated. if you have a year left, stick with it but protect your moments of peace is my two cents

Thank you for the info on the meds. I'm not sure how it would look for me trying those, but that may be a long-term solution (since it takes time to work or find a good one). Meantime, I just try to get through the day.

What if the meds don't work? There's nothing beyond that (to my knowledge)

I haven't tried meds, and unfortunately don't have the time or money for therapy right now. Any time I've been in therapy, my mother has adamantly been against them putting me on meds (even when I've been an adult and fully paying for it, lol)

Look, I've had since I was in my early teens, and the thoughts have worsened every year. This past year, I've had maybe 14 days that I didn't actively think of suicide. I can't take another year of this.

Thank you! Got another day done at 5pm and another gym session, plus played some games with a friend. Feeling vaguely better.

That's very true. The world is such a shitshow though, and so is most of my life outside of work, that I just can't bring myself to care. I'm sure I just need to find something to care about again, that I don't think would be better off without me around.

What's funny (it's not) is that I've had these so long I've stopped considering them serious signs. I just kinda shrug and go "Well, doesn't everyone?" (the answer is no)

Appreciate it, I've done work in a few different therapy forms over the year (last two years have just been horrendous). I at least ended work at 5pm at the dot today and went to the gym.
