depression and anxiety

Anxiety

Depression

hey! I am 17 I haven't been clinically diagnosed with anything, but I have seen a lot of mental health pages on instagram and I feel I have depression and some types of anxiety and I'm not sure about if I have anything else, I thought it's better not to self diagnose myself and jump to conclusions– But I'm pretty sure about depression. And I know I've had it since many ears, I started searching these things because I knew something was up with my mind and I just felt different than most people. I've been trying to fight it but most days I just give up. I live with my family, four people other than me, and I am not close to them as such. I really hope to move out soon. But for now it's hard for me to be here and be productive, which most days I don't even care about but still feel bad if I am not. in a month or so I have a few days where I feel hopeful and work properly; but so many days I'm just this way and I feel like... I don't know... just time is passing by. Today I thought, in reference to healing, that when the days I feel this way, is a relapse, or the days I feel hopeful are- from me being this way. I don't know I feel so overwhelmed. sometimes. and I start questioning everything. I read a post and i have started trying mindfulness and it's what made a difference lately. But here I am again today.

and also, I feel I should go to therapy. It will really help me. Just that I can't talk to my family about it and I have no means to pay online myself. And I would just really prefer it in person. This is all I can think about sometimes, that if I could just talk to a professional. I've tried talking to people I know a lot, but obviously none of them just get it. I'm in 12th and gradually a month or so after the lockdown started, I stopped studying. I just can't do it. You could say I have some kind of fear of doing it, because everytime I try to, my depression feels kind of sets it and I can't understad why and I feel horrible and I just feel like not existing and I get so tired I just can't go back to doing it. it's the worst feeling ever. And it's confusing because I love love love to learn. I'm a science student but I guess maybe just this is not for me. I really loved it. :(

The craziest. Thankyou for reaching out. I understand your concern. Try to talk regarding this to your family member whom you feel will understand and whom you are close to. Tell them how this whole situation makes you feel. Also try to divert your mind whenever you indulge in overthinking.try doing something you love it could be anything like a hobby. Sometimes over information on internet can lead to anxiety. We tend to compare those situation with ours and it gets overwhelming. It's good to be updated about various ways to cure mental health problems but extra information could be avoided at least for few days. It's good that you have been trying mindfulness and continue doing that ,try to live in present and not wander in future or past. Breathing exercises helps when you feel anxiety. I would also invite you journal your thoughts this helps in venting out and feeling relieved.
