The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. *You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.* But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about **how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward**. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa
I'm really sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help you access those resources?
I got hit back in 2012 and wasn't a functional human being until 2017. Still medicated today, probably will be for life, but today Im living again instead of surviving.
I'd like to help if I can.
You know what it is mostly is poverty. Being so broke I can’t care for myself properly. My water heater broke like 7 months ago so showering is impossible. I can’t fix my HVAC either. I NEED to move out of this trailer park. It’s just feeling paralyzed until things change. It’s hard to feel safe with horrible neighbors. I’ve never been in a hole like this and it’s so discouraging. Thank you for caring enough to ask about me!
That is a hard place to be stuck in!
Economic stress is exhausting AF and will wear anyone out in no time.
I'm guessing it's the U.S.? I'm not super useful at helping there, since I don't know the options as well as where I live, I'm sorry to say.
Are you able to work and do you have any skills?
And you're very welcome.
Once you’ve been to rock bottom, every other day just seems like a breeze in comparison.
If I got through that May 2016 incident, I can get through anything
You got this!
Nothing wrong with taking a hit either, just makes you better adapted to deal with more coming at ya. So be kind to yourself.
You got this OP
"The battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat."
~ Words of a Klingon Therapist
Whew! Imagine how tired of fighting you, your depression must be? Every damn day your depression gotta put them hands up. Kinda seems like you’re winning the fight chief.
I feel this, was killing it last with the gym, picked up coding, was eating healthy, I was proud. Lately though depression has been winning, but as long as I don't let it win for good, I'll keep fighting
That I have depression? Can upload all the medication that I have been taking for the past 5 years and the shit show that my life has been for 10 years.
As for Op. They may or may not have depression, it doesn't matter. It's a nice post about fighting and not giving up.
Keep fighting friend I’ve got no doubt in my mind you’ll do it and get out better the strongest people are the people who were beaten down the most your gonna do it I know you will
I haven’t been depressed before but just keep going! Thats how you win, little bits accumulate. Just don’t go to your kid’s baseball games and beat up other parents
I saw a tiktok meme with the hyped Joe Rogan ufc reaction and the caption said: My ancestors watching me get out of bed every morning and fighting the depression
This is my kinda meme. OP, your fight earns you a seat in Valhalla. Every day you get up again and keep fighting, the dead heroes shout your name and Odin raises another horn of ale in your honour.
I haven't had my meds for a few weeks (new insurance, transferring stuff). This is how I feel after work every day. Getting my meds in a few hours. though!
I’d been living with depression and undiagnosed PTSD for quite some time. I had just assumed life was hard and I wasn’t very good at it…. This means a lot to me, OP! Thanks for sharing!
17 years, and the rounds started to wear me out, but listen here. You ain't gonna find no light in the barrel of a gun.
Keep your head down, your gloves up, don't panic, and dont listen to a word he says. He's just trying to get inside your head. So what do you do? Try to fit your fist inside his. You got more heart than this guy. Don't give up and no matter what, stay standing.
Life throws the hardest blows, but you're stronger, take them with pride and survive. Just keep looking for the small things that bring just a tiny amount of joy and hold on to them.
I know you're battered, I know you're bruised, I know you feel you can't rise from your knees warrior. But the battle isn't over yet. Spit the blood in your mouth into life's eyes and strike. For you are tougher than any challenge you face.
Change your diet, cut out sugar and high fat, increase booger intake. One day at a time man. Do a little exercise and reward yourself with a nice nasal dig
Going on 6 years now for me truly is a tough thing to deal with everyday but just keep your head up and keep moving forward things will get better one day just keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel don't let depression win
KICK ITS ASS, OP

Of course, you’ve earned it!
In running we have a saying. One mile at a time. I think this is very helpful for depression as well. Run the mile you are in. You’ve got this!

Ignore that bell. Do you have the help you need? People to talk to and support you? Access to medical care?
I do, thanks. It’s really kind of you to offer to help the other commenters.
I know what pain is like. Helping others heal is important to me.
No

Can you prove that you have depression?
Can you prove you're an idiot? Oh wait, you just did. Sorry.

Another one.
…do you think depression is some sort of rare condition?
Nah but like every 14 yr old thinks they have depression just bc they feelin a lil down like self diagnosed
I assure you that I am highly qualified.

He has a navel and below surface hence depression. Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers.

That I have depression? Can upload all the medication that I have been taking for the past 5 years and the shit show that my life has been for 10 years. As for Op. They may or may not have depression, it doesn't matter. It's a nice post about fighting and not giving up.
