hey there, i don’t know exactly what im meant to say but im new so... hi!
i don’t exactly know what’s up with me but my doctors figure it’s some bizarre mix of anxiety, depression and ocd. the problem is that im extremely high functioning and i can get through the day relatively easily which leads a lot of people (including myself) to believe that im not bad enough to deserve help or meds or support of any kind. rationally that’s not true but i do feel pretty alone sometimes because even if i can get out of bed and even do really well in school, i basically have no motivation other than distracting myself from obsessive rumination or not letting other people down. i don’t really need tips on how to get better because i have doctors and my parents who are all lovely and i generally know the standard things i just don’t have any energy or care to do them.
i just want to find some people with high functioning disorders to relate to because no issue is “too small” and just because others have it worse doesn’t mean that it can’t still really suck.
thats about all, im good with deep talk or just silly jokes or comments i just came for a nice supporting community 😌
love you all no matter who you are 💛

Hi plants,
welcome to beyond blue.
I will listen and chat with you. I have what I call your garden variety depression and anxiety with the occasional suicidal thoughts. Do nothing and my mind wanders and has negative thoughts. Go to work and I can be OK and work becomes my distraction. I things at work do not go as planned they can also give me negative thoughts. We can talk about me another time.
as far as chatting is concerned I am all ears... mental picture here! You can also do idle chat here, or you can go to the social section of the forums and check out the cafe space there.
And yes it can suck, and we support each other here.
Tim

Howdi,
I can totally relate to high functioning but low motivation. I've got a pretty clear path but motivation is an issue with me too.
