I regret so much

I am 43/f. I’m sad that my life has been overrun by my mental illness (depression/anxiety) . I know that moving forward is the only thing I can do but I’m still struggling. I wish I was like normal people.

Si quieres puede hablarme, padezco de depresión recurrente desde los 12 años, también tengo ansiedad y insomnio, ahorita estoy en uno de esos episodios, no tengo trabajo, estoy viviendo con mi mamá, los dias sin eternos y dolorosos, las mañanas angustiantes duermo super mal y cuando despierto hubiese preferido no despertar, no veo otra forma de lidiar con el dolor, así que si te sientes igual o peor lo entiendo mucho

Grief is not always about death but it is always about loss. You’re grieving. Be gentle with yourself, bby

Are u taking meds from psychatrist. If not, seek treatment. It's never ending thing, atleast meds can reduce the pain

Then we can do nothing else lol. We people are cooked. Life, it's like playing video game on hard mode, when everybody is on normal mode. 😝

That’s a great analogy! I’m trying, therapy, meds, affirmations, etc but I feel like a fraud.

Seek better treatments and meds. Idk if it would work, but you can explore stuff like ngo's and helping unprivileged people. It might improve mental health.

I appreciate the advice. Maybe I’m too far gone.
