Better days are coming... Day 3 inside

Here we are with another day folks,
Please check the day 2 3 above, and good luck to you all

Remember you are all beautiful <3

Thank you for the giveaways! I hope things get better for you soon. <3

Hey, it's just my own opinion but in the end getting better is all up to one's self, also I believe having too much hope, always saying "tomorrow's gonna be a better day" and stuff like that can be actually bad for you, since as you said, what if tomorrow isn't all that good? I think it's better to have a reasonable amount of hope, I always say to my self and friends : "No matter what point you are in your life, no matter how good or how bad things are, there is always the possibility of things going better, and vice versa, things can always get worst" this motto has kinda helped me to ease some of the hardships but it's not a cure, it's more like a pain killer.
good luck, thanks for the gibs, and stay strong :)

Good job on going to see the doctor. Even though you didn't get the help you wanted from him, it's great that you went. Shows that you have the get-up-and-go to look for help and solve what you see as a problem.
Might be more difficult some days, but keep that mentality and it'll help you to find help or work on things yourself.

I hope you get better :)

Hi,
good that you look for help.
Common that it don't work very fast with the help. I needed 3 months of nearly daily calls and letters till something happened and first after 6 months were really a help present. Don't let it demotivate you because you try it at least and that is more as you done in the past. And it will lead to success, earlier or later, if you try it the next days/weeks/months too.

I advice you from my own experiences in the past with many years of depression I am out of them since around 3 years a structured day cycle. Stand up in the morning, eat a bit, go out for at least 15 min. each day, cook yourself (that is very important because you have much more energy as from bought finished products or ordered stuff), sleep at the night.
Don't be "all the time at the computer" because it give happy moments in games but because you don't have it in the reallife you go more and more into the online world and solve lesser and lesser problems in the real world.
The same counts for "everytime reachable per mobile phone". You got distracted very fast from such stuff and chatting and such things are far more liked as office stuff that must be done to give a example.
If you are able, meet friends and try to write different ToDo lists.
Different because you should categorize them into "must be done very soon", "must be done not so soon" and "want to do/have time".
And then pick a few things from the first list for a day, not all !. If you done that stuff, breaks between it are completly ok, and still have energy then pick a few smaller/easier ones.
It's very important that you only pick a ammount that you really can do -pick at the start lesser as you think you can do- then you get a energy boost from solving it, feel great and all that.
If you take too much at the ToDo list for that day/week you are frustrated that you don't done all/so much left.
And yes it will give days that you don't fullfill your "small" goals and that will frustrate you BUT in that moments try to say yourself "sure it is lesser as i wanted and i should have done more BUT i done today more as the last weeks/months/years before i started with it".

I wish you all energy, strenght and motivation that you need :o)

All the best, Viking - hang in there, and don't be too tough on yourself during those more down and difficult periods. Just believe that you're strong enough to get through them - after all, you've done it before, you'll do it again - and if games help with that, then that sounds more than OK to me. Games are wonderful!

Thanks for sharing, and for the giveaways too, of course! Good luck everyone, with this, and with all of your personal boss battles.

Stay strong and enjoy the little things that makes you happy, like games. ;)
Good luck!

I agree, games are a good outlet. They're safer than doing drugs, and can still be shared with others.

Thanks for the giveaways.

What you are going through right now is really crappy and I do hope that you will get professional help soon. As depressions are often stigmatised(maybe depending on where you are from), so they can feel very lonely. Someone who didn't have to experience it himself will never know how it feels. Just know, that there are lots of people who lived through similar things as you do right now and can understand how you feel.

Regarding professional help: I don't know how psychological care is organized where you are from, but where I live(in Germany) there are two types of doctors. One makes the therapy and the other prescribes medication. Only for the one with the therapy do you have to wait for a long time, for the other one you get an appointment really quick. So if you have the possibility to get an appointment for medication, I would recommend to do that. For me medication wasn't what solved my problems, but it gave me a really helpful boost for the time I took it(about 8 months).

Wish you all the best, stay strong!

Don't stop fighting, life will get better :)

Hi my fellow sufferer,

I totally know how you're feeling. I felt the same and in january this year I finally find the strength to seek for professional help and commit myself in a psychatric clinic. I was there for 7 weeks and be home again since 5 days. I feel so much better now, even if I'm not fully recovered but the suicide thoughts are gone and thats really a relief.
Maybe this could be the right way for you too. I wish you all the best and if you like to talk, there are many people, including me, outthere with an open ear. ♥️

Thanks!
Hope you'll go better soon, even without gamotherapy if possible!

"I've look for professional help from my Uni and they told me i can be booked in the middle of the summer" They told you that you couldn't see a doctor all term?! That's crazy, and irresponsible. Where are you at university?

But, I really hope you're feeling better. I've tangled with depression too--I'm diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. There are seasons when it's better and seasons when it's worse. Things in life fluctuate; your worst moments aren't just the new way things are for you, though it might seem that way.

very kind of you, sir.
Wish you all the best!

Thanks for the giveaways. Take heart from your problem, I went through something similar a few years ago. Greetings.

We like you!

Thanks for the giveaways . Stay stong hope you will get better soon 💖

Thank you for sharing and I wish you a fast recovery.
I've never felt like this before and I wouldn't know how to help but continue the fight...
For sure, there is an organization somewhere with good people who can help you.
If video games are good for you, do it, have fun, but don't lock yourself in too much, it can be dangerous to isolate yourself too.
Cheer up!

I am one of those people who does not serve to encourage... so consider that I put my hand on your shoulder, I squeezed it hard and nodded.

Keep it up, be strong.

Good luck.

You are in good company... (possibly with more than even I can imagine) and while gaming is helpful in keeping us out of our heads, it also distracts us from participating in life. Admitting you need someone unbiased you can communicate to is a difficult first step and applaud you for finding the courage (but am also disappointed at the lack of professional availability worldwide), I would also encourage you to not give up and continue moving forward. Here is a resource that might help you if you are serious about doing something to help yourself. May it enlighten you and open doors to a whole new world.

Thank you for sharing your story and your gibs with us. Just know that you are not alone.
