I can’t tell if I’m depressed or unmotivated but everything outside of work I have to force myself to do. I can’t find motivation in most things and not much even excites me these days. I feel like I’m just going through the motions everyday with no real goal outside of taking care of myself.

Been fighting OCD and anxiety since I was probably in the First Grade. For about 6 years I've been having waves of unspeakable intrusive thoughts (one in particular that makes me beyond sick to my stomach:to:). Finally scheduled an appointment with a CBT. I really didnt want to because I thought going this route basically validates the disorder. But I'm tired of this sadness and guilt and fear I feel everyday for repetative thoughts I know I would never in my worst nightmares action on. Bought to take my life back :banderas:. Pray for me brothers

:gucci: My recent hypomanic episode cause me to miss a date with this blonde goth chick Ive been seeing lately. As I was leaving the package store I noticed my eyes were really heavy and that I was not gonna be able to drive to her place (an hour away). I tell her I gonna rest a bit and around 5 hours later I get text from her asking if Im ok, did I OD, and shyt like that. Even my mama tried getting a hold of me.

I just tried my hardest to explain that eventually a crash was gonna happen, its its happening now. I was riding that manic wave like :blessed:but now this depressive episode has me feeling like :deadmanny:.

Oh well. I felt the signs coming and did warn some coworkers what could be coming my way.

Stay safe to the rest of yall.

i empathize.

These are my thoughts throughout the day recently:

"I don't feel like myself"
"i hate myself"
"i can just kill myself if all else fails"
"why kill myself when i have the capability to use this vessel for what i want and can say fukk you to everyone else?"
"im lazy and unmotivated"
"i hate being around other people when i'm low like this"
"i'm a chemical wreck"
"what would my family think of me? i hate the fact they love me"
"i hate the fact that I can't live up to my and others expectations of me"

I feel you. I used to be so skinny and known for my flat stomach then one day in my 20s especially after moving down south, getting a car and a desk job it stopped being flat.

Now, I got cellulite around my midsection and since I have small breasts, my stomach looks even worst proportion wise. I got a gym membership, discovered dairy makes me bloated even tried going vegan but Im just not consistent.

Thats probably one of my worst traits inconsistency. My only advice is break your goals up into smaller baby steps, take it one day at a time and try not to get discouraged. Get back on the horse as soon as you can. To be human is to err, so dont beat your self up.

I stopped using the scale and use my tape measure or my clothing size, especially since I lift. (I need to do more cardio and better my diet) but anyway muscle is denser/heavier than fat so you can work out and actually gain lbs but look/feel better.


In the process of finding someone to talk to and potentially put me on some antidepressants.

Nothing gives me any type of joy anymore.

Nothing.



Have any of yall taken TMS Therapy?









Its covered by many insurances and NO IT IS NOT THE SAME AS electroshock therapy
