Re: I can't start doing anything
Physical and mental activity are the two biggest motivators for me. I make it a habit not to wait until I "feel" like doing something to do it. I make lists. Daily lists of things I have to do and also lists of things I want to do or try when I have extra time. I never allow myself to do n...

Re: New Person who seeks help
FelixG, i see you also struggle with eating disorders. I have also struggled since I was a teenager, but I heard recently that most anxiety starts in the gut. I did some research online and started taking probiotics, eating yogurt, avoiding caffeine and sugary foods and drinks, eating small meals th...

Re: New Person who seeks help
Felix, I know how you feel and you are not the only person on the planet who is suffering like this. I have struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life also. It has taken me decades but I have learned a lot about the brain and how it works. I still have brief episodes but am usually able to ...

Re: Comfort in knowing
Hi Deadly, I can relate to so much in your posts. I have gotten so tired of pursuing other people. My phone never rings. I don't get invited to parties, etc. - just family gatherings. Maybe some of it was my fault because when I was raising my kids, they were my life. I made them a priority and didn...

Re: TIRED
Rencha, I'm so sorry you're in hard place. There are people who want to hear your story and help you heal. I was just thinking this morning that one of the best things I ever did was get out of my own head. I got so tired of the downward spiral and knew I didn't want to live like that. I started rea...

Re: Newly married, recurring depression
Hi Mia, Welcome to the forum. Sorry you are having a hard time. I have suffered with PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety and depression because of abuse and a traumatic childhood. I guess when I was younger, I didn't really think about it or analyze my feelings. I just thought it was normal. As I got older...

Re: Openly emotional
Maybe you're not actually depressed. Maybe you're just on search to discover who you are, why you are here, the meaning of life, etc. Have you ever read about self awareness or done a personality profile test? Do you know what you like to do? Do you have any plans, goals or dreams for the future? I ...

Re: Openly emotional
Aquarikitty, welcome to the forum. I do know how you feel? I have had problems with self image in the past. I was raised in a very abusive home. It took me a long time to learn who I was and my value as a person and not see myself through the abuse and anger that was inflicted on me as a child. You ...

Re: Lost
Connoisseur, I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sympathy. I wonder if you ever really grieved for your friend. Considering the circumstances of her death and everything else that what going on (getting your ex-husband caught and extradited, caring for your son, etc.), I suspect that you h...
