The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

The weight of the world is weighing heavily. Whether it is the state of our planet, our nation, your community or your individual life, more of us [...]

Morning for me! 🌄

Nighttime for sure. 🌃

Both — I don’t really have a preference. ⚖️

Neither — I’m more of an afternoon/evening person. 🏞️🌆

One important thing this year has taught me is __________.

It’s been a long year — one we can both archive and move on from, but also revisit when we need to reflect on what stood out for us.

What’s something important this year has taught you, helped you see differently, or clarified for you? Why was that experience, lesson, or moment of introspection meaningful? What made it stick with you?

Depression 22h

It’s getting harder for me.. I am also shocked by the changes.. Like I am happy at one moment and the next moment, I am just devastated.. I am left wondering.. I know I am not in a good state.. But, I am just too hesitant to reach out... To my family... I hate this... I feel I have grown this older.. I am supposed to be matured and strong... These aren't supposed to bother me.. But, they are.. Sometimes, I feel I belong to nowhere.. I am afraid of the judgements of my family... They will judge me.. It’s strongly connected to my past tramas.. My family treated me the worst... Except my mother.. She is the only one I got... Last night, I tried to call her.. She called back but I couldn't answer her back.. Yesterday, my sister said she was coming home and told me that she was told to not to say that to me.. Cause if I heard, I will come home too.. I know she didn’t mean it but it hurt me a lot.. It did.. I am not willingly doing it... It’s just my illnesses making me do it... Also, I was told I looked fat.. I don’t know... But, my appetite isn’t always good... There were days I passes starving cause I couldn’t eat... It’s complicated.. I wish I had a place to go to.. But,I have nowhere to go... Oh, I feel so helpless... I hate myself for feeling like this... Yesterday night,after a very long time, I did self-harm.. I tried not to but the situation got so bad I couldn’t just stop myself... The feeling I got nowhere to go is just.... I don’t want anyone to judge me.. I don’t... It scares me.... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Selfharm #CheckInWithMe

Who in your life do you feel most comfortable being yourself around — and why?

When you need support or a listening ear, someone to chat with or call, an accountability buddy, or a partner for arts, crafts, or hobbies, who do you turn to? What makes that person feel comforting or safe for you?

If no one comes to mind right now, that’s totally OK. Instead, feel free to share what types of spaces or circumstances help you feel comfortable. What about those environments helps you feel safe to be yourself?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feels most comfortable around her mom, sister, and the new friends she made this year. It’s taken time for her to feel at ease with others after being hurt growing up, but she’s been brave in opening herself up to new experiences.

Share what comfort in relationships or spaces looks like for you! 💫
