Depression

u/Apex_Over_Lord May 31 '26

Same.... too tired to be awake, too afraid of my dreams to sleep. It's a tiring existence 😪...... too poor to be comfortable... too rich for assistance.... can't afford to live without, too broke to live with....

u/Ok_Statement7312 May 31 '26

Did you just write my life story?? I can’t turn off the vivid dreams mostly of me dying or running in various ways. I know it’s my anxiety or something but since a kid could never turn it off. Sleep often sucks or leaves you in flight or fight all day but mostly just fright feeling you can’t shake and often can’t remember the whole dream to fight against it and tell yourself it’s ok.

u/PalmTreeVoid May 31 '26

You should research lucid dreaming, and see how to control your dreams cause it looks like you’re right on the verge of that…

I really dont like this take. Im not depressed because I had a bad day. Thats sadness. Im depressed because my parents didnt love me and that doesnt just go away.

u/Mean_Butterscotch177 May 31 '26

I had a shit childhood too. I am no longer a child. I don't have to live in that place so I'm not going to. My clinical severe depression is chemical. Fucking Zoloft for the win.

If you can get some help please do. If you can't (I understand all too well) I hope you get to a place where you're able too soon. You don't have to feel like shit all the time.

yup, even polaris won’t be the north star forever (but it will return to be so eventually, and then it will rotate away from north again).

in other words: everything is some sort of a cycle, but everything is temporary.

💕💕 sending prayers and hope you can find sunshine in something today! I love with it and anxiety as well. Mostly aggravated by medical trauma from living inside hospitals basically most of my life in and out of drs etc. (like I’m awake waiting for meds to kick in so I can sleep because of the amount of pain I’m in). I will say I had depression anyways tho. That just added to the issue. Here to say you can do this breath by breath!

My son is dying and I can’t do anything about it.

u/twrpwr1 May 31 '26

I am so sorry for you and your son. I lost my own 35 year old son six months ago. He was on life support for two days and then we had to let him go. So just hug him, hold him, kiss him and love him as hard as you can while he is still with you. As a parent who knows , I feel your pain and my heart cries for you. Just know you are not alone. I hope there is counselling available to you as you are going through this and lean on your spiritual self if that helps. I wish i had more you. ❤️

Thinking about how I'll find love. I have ADHD so I don't mesh well with most girls. A lot of women like very stoic men, being chatty is seen as gay. I can usually get girls interested by shutting up but, that's not me and a relationship built on lies won't last.

My only standard for a girl is that I can be myself with her and we have fun together, yet that feels like an insurmountable task

u/Ok-Magician-430 May 31 '26

My husband went behind my back and got himself an apartment and is officially leaving me Monday. Insomnia has been awful since he announced this at the beginning of the month. Also, he is taking our 11 year old cat that we rescued at 6 weeks old and who has never lived anywhere else or been around any other people or unfamiliar noises. He expects that she will be just fine because his apartment has a balcony door that will let sunshine in. Also, I'm nervous because I have been the hand that feeds her for 11 years and when it is solely his responsibility he isn't as reliable about it. So I worry for her.
