Okay...I never know how to start these things so lets just start this off before I change my mind.
Ive had depression since I was 12 I'm now 22...so a while now, plus eating disorder, anxitey more known as BPD.
Finding things hard at the moment just feel so alone and lost. I'm not working at the moment so I think that has a lot to do with everything. I just seem to be finding everything so hard like getting out of bed in the morning. Just doing little things are hard. Even leaving the house is getting worse every time I leave I have panic attacks !
Just could do with a friend or someone to talk to who maybe is dealing with the same sorta things so maybe I could help someone as well as someone help me!
Just cant deal with anything anymore, I just dont know what to do
I feel so lost and empty.
Someone please help !
Chloe I truly understand what you are going through because I'm going through it myself. I too find it so hard to get out of bed because when I'm sleeping is the only time I don't experience racing houghts back to back mainly worrying about the future. Trust me when I say you are not alone. I have panic attacks almost daily and they are so hard to deal with. The thing that keeps me going is I know things will get better, because I've been here before. My anxiety tells me things won't get better but I know that is my only my anxiety making me feel this way. Let's continue to encourage each other. It truly helps.

If you are looking for work and having problems finding a position it may be that is causing you your problems. If you are also having those eating problems you may find not eating correctly could be having further problems that coud affect your mood.
Try and look for various diversions to take your mind of your worries and concerns.concerns. Look for day centres for your Depression. Many towns and cities have centres where you can be with people like you and that can give people like us encouragement.
It is important you can get out the house so you can lift your mood a mental health centre may be able to help you with ths problem.
Have a very serious chat ith your GP regards your BPD if not already He may be able to arrange a treatment plan that will help you

Awww Chloe
Hun I've had depression for years too your not alone you've got thousands of friends here all that want to help you
Depression is different for everyone and being honest I will only be able to relate to a few of your problems,
However there will be people on here that can help you far better than I would although my concern is your state of mind right now so if you need to vent off load or just to chat about anything I'd offer you my ear and help you the best I can until someone else better suited comes along and helps you you posted this three hours ago I have no doubt someone will help you Chloe the site normally becomes more active at night so don't think people aren't interested Hun they are just not on yet
Thinking of you

Thank you! Feel a bit stange telling people I don't know about my problems and actually not being judge it's so weird lol might take me a while to come out my shell a bit lol but I'm sure I will get there ! X
Ya know that's the best thing about this site you don't need to once you find people that have the same problems you get advice from the answers they receive ya know you take your time and who knows one day you maybe the one handing out the advice and help somethings you can only understand if you've experienced it so don't rush trust is earned I think everyone here understands that 😉
Yeah well it's just nice to feel normal for once not this mental person I feel like half the time ha x
I sometimes wonder if us "mental" people are the good people who cannot live happily in this wicked materalistic world, whereas the "Normal" people must be abnormal to live happily in this mess.
Yes, i wonder too. I tried to do my best all life and i end up with this horrible illness. They keep telling me its me, but everyone else seems to survive without this torment and do all sorts of things i wouldnt do. They dont worry about life the way we do.
Hello Chloe,
I am 70 and have been depressed on and off since I was 6 mostly on. i have had about 45 years of treatment and over the last 12 years medication. For your enxiety try gabapentin i found it very helpful for that, and its no trouble pretty harmless its an anti epileptic really but they found out its good for depression anxiety panic attacks and even fibromialgia, you can take huge doses with no adverse effects except sleepiness if you take big doses.
I take wellbutrin too which works for me depression wise, not fantastic but reasonable.
You are not alone friend we are all gojng through our battles, I have only had depression/anxiety/panic attacks for around a year but by hell its been a long one, always here if you need a chat, I'm young myself I'm only 24 and know how hard it affects your social/work life, it's terrible!
Hope you are well
Ranger
Thank you really means a lot
