Tips for someone who is depressed and struggles to even get out of bed let alone find a job / work out anymore?

Like I have a place to study law again for a semester but how the f*ck do I do that when I honestly feel so down

[exitseven]

okay- depression is a real thing. It has many causes and is very difficult to treat. I had many obstacles in my life and I used to be able to get past them until I got depressed. Then it seemed that the process of facing adversity and "pushing: the obstacles out of my way no longer worked. I felt like I had nothing to push against.

I cannot just tell you to snap out of it or that you are a wimp. You are facing something real. I am usually the last one to recommend therapy but you should try to find some.

Covid screwed up a lot of people. People were isolated or had their lives turned upside down because of the virus. We have a government that seems to work against it';s citizens and instead is trying to destroy our standard of living. I had a friend who is a wellness coach who told me that depression can be caused when we are out of the loop of control of our lives. Covid and the government has taken a lot of control from us.

Dont give up on yourself.

I suggest you consider taking up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/MMA, Its great physically and also mentally.

You also get to meet a huge group of people and add another social dimension to your life. It's worth exploring.

I will try I’ve been looking for a new sport that isn’t just repetitive gym training

Yeah I also found that gym training without strict purpose can quickly get boring after a while, but BJJ is constantly interesting, like mentally challenging and that keeps it interesting. It's really great, definitely worth checking out.

Peel yourself out of bed and force it.


Eat, brush your teeth and take a shower despite the dread.


You’re 50% there at that point.


It’s both easier than it sounds and harder than it looks.


But you can do it.

You have to fight it you can't let the depression win your a good woman and you're stronger than you think you are. You can do this I know you can and if you ever need to talk I'm here for you ok
