Hello,

It is excellent that you have reached out here in the forums. Just knowing you are not alone is essential, and we are here to support you. Sometimes not feeling like talking to people and participating in activities can be a sign of depression. I've been there myself, and it can feel unpleasant at the time. However, there is support available to help you. Have you considered reaching out to your GP [there are after-hours ones for public holidays] and getting a mental health plan. With that, you can see a psychologist to get some strategies to help with these feelings. There is also the 24/7 webchat or helpline at Beyond Blue, where you can get support right away.

I hope this helps a little in realising there are others and you are not alone in this.

Hi there,

Thank you for your honesty in what you’re experiencing today.

I have definitely been there in the past where I pulled away from my loved ones too and didn't feel like talking much. Something I did to help me was journal about my feelings. I would write down what I was feeling or something that had happened. I felt better afterwards and lighter getting it down on paper. It’s such a good way to process your emotions and let them out.

Bottling up feelings can only make things worse and lead to heaviness on your shoulders. I think journaling is a good first step to take. I hope that you feel comfortable soon to open up to people in your life about what you’re going through, and that you will get the support you need. Community is also important and hopefully you will still be able to connect with others soon.

Hope this helps and you feel a little lighter soon. Sending hugs your way 🥰

i dont really know how to begin this but lately a thought thats been running around my head is "i just want to hide and never be found". im really tired of worrying about everything and im tired of having to get out of bed just to do the same stuff day after day, and im tired of having to set an alarm just to talk to my friend who's giving me all sorts of stress, and im tired of the world and how bad its becoming.

day after day i see no reason to keep going when the world is overrun by people who dont know how to handle power, there arent safe spaces for artists anymore, and all i want to do is surround myself in fiction to escape reality. i know its not healthy, but i quite frankly dont care anymore. i cant bring myself to care about anything anymore it feels like. every time anything happens all i can think of is that one day the world will be engulfed in the sun and none of what humanity is fighting for will matter in the end.

i just dont know what to do anymore. nothing feels worth it anymore. im constantly stressed and scared and im sick of being bored every day and fiction is the only thing keeping me going, but even then, only barely.

Welcome to Beyond Blue

I do so much relate to you booga. It is challenging to know why we even exist. I know there are reasons why we are here on earth. But don't know what the reasons are.

I also like reading fiction... Another place to live in for a while. While the world outside of the book goes on, I don't have to participate in it but rather be in the story in the book. An escape for a while.

It is challenging so many others seem to have a reason to get up and get going. Sometimes I am sick and tired of it all. Because I haven't got a clear answer to why?

I also am aware I think a lot rather then just going out and doing. Not sure if you are like that. Overthinking things.

Anyway if you would like to keep writing in please do. I have no advice for you really. But wanting you to know I hear your voice.
