Hello, So basically that's the problem, I feel I cannot talk to anyone anymore. I have depression and anxiety; most days I feel anxious and/or sad and I keep comparing myself to others and that makes me feel even worse. I even think my best friend is tired of hearing my problems and I don't want to lose him. That's why I don't want to tell him how I feel. But at the same time, he is the only one I could talk to before. I hate myself for being this way and I really don't know how I can feel better and stop comparing myself to others. I know, maybe no one will respond to this thread but I am feeling so sad. Bye
Depression and anxiety feed on themselves. I used to experience that a lot as a teen. As I got into my twenties I came to the realization that I was creating my own misery. I resolved to no longer care about anything but the most basic of needs- food, shelter, safety. Everything else was extra. It worked. Now my problem is I don't care about anything but being happy, lol. whenever i feel negative thoughts creep in I tell myself to "screw it". I really don't have any interest in being the old me. You can talk to me anytime.
Have you thought about getting therapy or maybe are on therapy already? I have depression and anxiety as well, but I went to see a psychiatrist and I am on medication and it has helped me. If you ever want to talk, then don't hesitate. My PMs are always open too.
There are almost always people to talk to on EC. Have you had any therapy to try and help you work through your depression and anxiety?
