    finished high school with eeh lower grade score then most others i would say, but still a little bit under the avrage grade avrage in our country, (went to sport school so spport classes gave me a bit better grade). i fought i was just very good at math, cooking, food, logcial thinking, and i just was just bad at languge, history and remeber words.

    started on uni right after, and it went worse, i just couldnt deal with it, so i failed and dropped out after 1 year, took a break 2 years, worked and tryed to go in sports, dint go well, went back to school, same shit, dint go well, i felt something was wrong with me. i contacted the doctor, about depresseion, talked about stuff why i was sad (sueside foguht

    psa: meds are amazing

    Don't think you're better than them or you're not the bad case. You'll feel so much better with them that the downsides are 100% worth it.

    You can get off them when you were able to deal with the problems. You've suffered enough.

    How Does One Accept and Live with the Fact that They'll Go Nowhere in Life?

    36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I'll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I've resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?

    tried to kill myself and my friends reaction changed me

    I'm very lonely and live thousands of kilometres from home, the only person I have in my daily life is one friend. lately he's been pretty obsessed with this girl and we haven't been talking so much because of it so I thought it would be the perfect time to through with it since I had a lot of alone time. I won't go into detail about what happened next but I do recall coming-to and him knowing I was depressed and not hearing from me for days he had decided to check up on me and see how I'm doing. when I explained to him what happened he broke down into tears and it's the only time I've seen him cry in the 7 years I've known him. I'm just shocked, I always wondered firsthand how people would feel if I did it and now I think I know. my family is really far away so they probably won't ever know this happened but I just don't know how to feel. I'm tired of feeling so much pain but I also take other emotions into account now, no antidepressants or therapists have ever been enough to heal th

    Conversations that might have been, are trapped inside my head. Spoken by voices heard long ago, from faces long forgotten. Endlessly spinning and incomplete, many words left unsaid

    Is this just me?

    I cannot seem to get out from this depressive episode no matter what I do

    After my last break up I can't seem to get out from this depression relapse..

    I reduced media use drastically, like almost to zero, I am swimming 3-4 times a week, doing yoga 1-2 times a week, going to work every morning with my bike, doing only cold showers, being in the sun, being in nature, playing my guitar, being around people as much as I can, being around my little dog and my cats, eating super super healthy, not doing any drug, not drinking, not smoking, reading self help books..

    I'm doing everything, everything that can possibly be done without meds probably, but my mind feels so down and so "lazy", last night I was sleeping on the ground because I had scabies and got cured, I had my bed changed and didn't want to sleep in my bed without having a shower first, but it felt too hard to have a shower..

    I've been wearing the same clothes for 3 weeks because it feels so hard to change myself and to wash them.

    Even tho I'm really putting effort into all this stuff, I feel like I

    Struggling to maintain my job

    Recently started seeing a medication provider who's been treating me for what she believes to be bipolar type 2, so I've had the help of medication. But, damn. I've missed a week of work over the past three, I've lapsed on alcohol like 5 or 6 days, last month, and I've just been feeling hopeless. I don't want to lose my job, but actually getting to work has been laborious. I just want Winter over, already. It hasn't been a month, and I'm exhausted. /rant

    Parents are against medications... 🙃

    I'm young enough to be on my parents' health insurance plan, they have enough funding to pay for copays/deductibles (it's not really a money issue, is what I'm trying to say). But my parents (especially my mother), opposes medication and tells me I need to "Just Go Outside".

    So, I wonder how long before I kms...
