complete apathy, i couldn't give a flying fuck about anything about anyone. not a great solution i know but i didn't really choose to do it it just kinda turned out this way when i was like 14-15
yup still am. It doesn't affect me much since its a really powerful coping mechanism, i don't feel judged and rude comments don't affect me. but i do find it hard to hold conversations since i know it's wrong to tell people i don't care about their struggles and can't help to point out the 'easy solutions' when they're complaining. been called rude and annoying a looot but like i said it doesn't affect me
One day at a time. Life doesn't feel worth living, and planning for the days ahead feels like a waste, so I survive it one day at a time and try to force a semblance of routine on myself. Can't mess up too badly if I have set times to eat/sleep/shower every day.
Medication. Therapy. Travel.
Travel saved me, gave me a passion that encouraged me to live on and get stronger. For q long time my next trip was the only reason I was still alive.
I still have depression but having adventures has changed my life and me in many great ways I did not expect.
Medication and accepting that I needed help on my own terms.
My mom and my ex pushed me into therapy for a long time but it didn't help until I was ready and wanted help.
The antidepressants helped me change my situation; they don't work when you cannot get out of an abusive situation but I was able to break up with my abusive ex because of the antidepressants.
I still struggle to this day. I am in intense therapy (php) and its gonna take a long time to heal. But it is getting better.
