Depression creeping up again

PunchThe_Internet

Recently I've been struggling with depression again. I don't have any justifiable reason, mostly for myself, that I should feel less satisfactory than I would like. It's been hard for me to take care of myself and my health properly since I've been having little to no motivation. It makes me feel like I'm gross. I'm trying to keep up on the demands in my life, but I feel like I'm continuing to fall short. I just can't help but feel this sort of impending dread and/or darkness. Maybe it's my anxiety, which is a whole other issue. It feels like I'm slowly sinking back into my depression and I don't know how to stop it. I guess, I feel like I have no control over myself at the moment.

hey @PunchThe_Internet 🙂

i’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. i know how exhausting and overwhelming it can be to feel like you’re sinking, and i want you to know that you’re not alone in this! even if it feels like you don’t have a “justifiable reason” to feel this way, your feelings are still completely valid. you don’t need to earn the right to struggle, it just happens sometimes, and that’s ok.

i know it’s hard, but you are not gross, and you are not failing. depression lies to us like that, but i promise that you are so much more than what it’s making you feel right now.

you are such an important person and we all care about you - you’ve got this
