Not great. My depression and anxiety have left me bedridden in the last few days. I feel worthless and like the whole world either doesn't care or despises me. I don't know which is worse.
I also suffer from dissociation and feel like I don't know who I am as a person, it's like I am being pulled in different directions, and it's a real struggle.
Been there. I know it's easy to say, but have you sought medical help? Medication did wonders for me.
I hope you come out of it soon, because I know what that pit feels like. hugs
Thanks! I have gotten medication and no longer suffer from daily panic attacks. I got diagnosed with a bunch of stuff a year ago, including AvPD, which means that I have severe social anxiety.
So far, it feels like the only response I have gotten from the doctors has been, "Tough luck; that's your life now."
I am trying my best to come out of it, but it's difficult.
That’s bullshit! Keep looking for better doctors! I had the same trouble getting the runaround until I found one who gave a shit.
Don’t give up!
I hear you Tropper. We're here, lean on us
