Hello. It's been really hard for me the past months and kind of year. I find it fascinating when I realise when I had been 'normal', time flies outta nowhere and now when its getting hard, I struggle every single damn day. I've been dealing with existential thoughts and depression, because I hadn't realised that I was 'existing without a care'. Im trying to heal, I really am. Anyway this is probably too long lol. God bless.

Hey there, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. I've been in a similar boat recently, and I have some recommendations that have worked for me in the past, and that I've been implementing more recently too.
Just a quick note, you can talk for as long as you'd like here (within 2500 words I believe), so don't feel pressured to keep your posts short if there's more you have to get off your chest.
Firstly, have you approached a therapist, GP, or psychologist about how you've been feeling? Professional advice can sometimes be refreshing and can help you see things from a different perspective.
Do you know what may be causing you to feel like this? Have you been under stress at work, with your family or friends, or something else in your home life that you may be struggling with?
Self-care activities can be really helpful for putting you in a different mindset and equipping you to deal with these thoughts better. Meditation, journaling, setting aside some time to work on hobbies... these can all help, if you have the time to try them out.
I hope this helps, if there's anything else you'd like to say or that you need advice on, we're here to offer support as best as we can.
Take care, SB
