I don't know what I'm doing.

My head's a mess.

I can't think straight.

I don't know what to do, or think, or feel.

I honestly feel like giving up.

Before you opt for a permanent solution you can’t go back on, I would suggest you pick up the phone and call professional help so that you can find a temporary solution.

You’ve got people you can talk to here bud. Let’s try that first?

Take a moment and just breathe. Then pick up the phone and make a call - if you don't know what to do, think or feel then don't commit to any action on your own. It's ok.

You should talk to your friends or parents and be honest about how you feel. If you are at the bottom, you can only go up.

I was the same. I turned to Christ.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

 

[Jsisto]

Honestly most of us don’t know what the fuck we‘re doing most of the time, and just bounce from one situation to the next. You’re not alone. What’s on your mind?

 

[Insane Metal]

Don't give up man. Please don't! I've been there too. Seek help.

Hey you, you are not alone in this, I can assure you of that. I suffer from acute depression and have been on anti-depressants for years now.

Some days, i don't even want to get out of bed, some days i want the world to end and me with it.

What I would like to say to you is this, you need to talk to someone, does not matter if it's a stranger or even a family member that you have not seen in a long time.

Pick up the phone and make a doctor's appointment, see them and discuss what's happening, trust me, they will help.

You also need to find a way to preoccupy your time and thoughts, you need a hobby of some sort.

Procrastination is the real killer here, the more time you get to dwell and wallow in your own thoughts, the more dispair you feel.

I write books in my spare time, the truth is, stories help me to get away from my overthinking about myself. I get to concentrate on something else besides letting my emotions get the best of me.

A hobby would seriously help, Perhaps get a pet, a fish tank, they are incredible in helping your stress levels, it also gives you something to do and most importantly if makes you care about something.


Take up a sport, nothing hardcore, maybe check your local newspaper for a club of some sort, a chess club, table tennis, baseball, whatever, to get you out and pre-occupied yourself.

Seriously, give it a shot, it can and will change your life.

I can not stress this enough, you are not alone in this, there are thousands if not millions of people that think just like you,

Things will get better,

Don't let things get you down, i know it's easy to say, but trust me, never give up, good things can be just around the corner.


If you need someone to talk to in the short term, please give me a private message, i can be a good listener and everything will remain completely private.

I've been in a dark place before and so in addition to what others have said here, I will say that what worked for me was trying to be in the company of those few people (family, friends, neighbors) who actually care for you. Being left alone with dark thoughts when vulnerable will eat away at you if it goes on for too long but if you externalize your vulnerability with others you will find much relief. Also going for a 30 min walk every day helps improve your perspective and mood. Stay strong brother.

 

[Scotty W]

Hope this makes you feel better

 

[IDKFA]

Don't give OP. Talk to us. We're here to listen.

 

[ResilientBanana]

When you can't think straight, sometimes the best thing to do is try to clear your mind and not think at all. Find a place you find peaceful, go there and quiet yourself down. But first and foremost, call someone, and have them meet you there and relax.

 

[Insane Metal]

Come on man, enjoy more pics of 0reob4by!
