Am I okay?

[Goosey6]

So lately I’ve not been feeling okay. And I get that’s normal for depression blah blah. But it’s different. I’m in bed all the time, last night I was on the floor for an hour breaking down. I’m having major issues and it’s normal for a teen to go through issues yes? But my depression is worse than it’s ever been. It’s getting in the way of everything. Work, study, my routine. I’m gaining weight like crazy, and this isn’t good for me. My medication I’m on have a side effect of weight gain. I was getting so good with my weight and now I’m huge again.

I’m falling apart slowly. And I just can’t take it. people always say “it’s okay not to be okay” and this means so much to me. Yeah I’ve got a lot going on, but this simple sentence has put a lot of light in my dark mind lately.

Stay safe friends 💖

Hello Goosey6 (J)

Welcome and thankyou for being a part of the Beyond Blue forums 🙂

You are not alone with feeling the way you do. Sure, these feelings are awful to have. I understand you as I had the same low feelings when I was a teen as well and they were horrible

I think you are okay J. I used to have the same feelings and they do go away....even quicker when we have a yak to our GP or counselor!

Can I ask you if you have a couple (or even 1) of people/friends that help support you? Its really important to have someone to have a talk to when we are feeling like this.

I am rapt that you are so proactive with your health J.....That makes you amazing 🙂

We also have the 'Young Peoples' subject thread as well if you want to say hello. We dont really mind where you post as long as we can provide you with the support you need in this difficult time

Thankyou heaps for mentioning "its okay not to be okay"....You are spot on J

my kind thoughts for you

Paul
