Depression

[Lysha56]

Today was really hard. I struggled a lot with getting out of bed and I’m failing all my classes.

I had tutors but they weren’t helping because I would simply not put in effort. It’s something I struggle with as I lack motivation. I’m trying to get better but it’s just a cycle on repeat.

Lysha56,

Thank you for posting here. I'm so sorry to hear that the day has been rough for you. 

Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed. I hear you. The reality is that we won't always feel like getting up out of bed on particular days. On the flip side, on days when we find it a lot easier to get out of bed, it feels like more of an achievement. It symbolises progress, and can serve to motivate us to do more tasks throughout the day.

Do you have loved ones who you would feel comfortable confiding in about your feelings of depression? Or if you haven't already had a chat to a GP, therapist, or psychologist, would you feel comfortable doing so? Sometimes, the advice of somebody who either knows us really well or a professional can be very helpful.

Please feel free to keep chatting with us, we're here for you.

Take care, SB
