Exhausted Just… Done with Everything.

[I'm-Still-Alive]

My mental health has deteriorated so much over the last 6 months. I’ve lost my closest friends. My job that I worked hard for. I’m working for something that’s annually ~$8,000 less than I was making and doesn’t cover my bills. I’m constantly stressed. I don’t sleep, even with the Ambien and Klonopin combination. I’ve had to switch anti seizure medications, and it’s made me have the worst side effects ever. Neurology sees me next week to put me on something else. I’m so sad. Psychiatry has me on a combo of meds but doesn’t want to mess with things until the seizure meds are all situated. I haven’t seen my family in months. I’m so depressed. I feel so worthless.

Sorry to hear about your depression.

It'll certainly be hard to get past the depression if you're not sleeping well.

Have you tried marijuana edibles for sleep?

Unfortunately, with how much my rent, phone, and electric/gas costs I can’t afford much for edibles. NYS regulates so it’s very expensive.

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear you're experiencing such deep depression atm, I've been there recently myself. Firstly, you are NOT worthless. You are here for a reason. You are important and you, and your life having SO much meaning. Please hold on to that. I know you've been feeling really shitty lately but this is just a transition period. You will be okay. I really want to emphasise the need for connection when we're depressed. It's the last thing we feel like doing but it's the one thing we need the most. Can you reach out to any family members or friends and talk to them about what you're going through? In my recent depression episode I honestly felt like no one would want to know, or would care, if they heard my concerns. I felt so alone and isolated. But once I opened up and let people in, support came at me from all directions. People love you and people want to help you.

I hope that helps

Well, I’ve been trying to go away to my Aunt’s for a month now for the weekend. But… my boyfriend hasn’t been so supportive. And now I won’t get to see her for another two weeks at minimum because she travels. Then I think my boyfriend wants me to go with his family on a trip. I really wanted to just get away and see her. Have some time with my family that raised me/helped me through some of the worst of it. I haven’t even seen my mother in like a month and a half.
