Insomnia is at its current peak. The rest I’ve learned to just accept and live with. You’re not alone ❤️

That’s a whole lot. I’m sorry. Feel better 🤗🤗

Insomnia is really big with me now also. I find myself waking up randomly 2/3 am not being able to fall back asleep. So I listen to Gaana app till I have to formally wake up 😆

I have anxiety and depression . Seeing things related to suicide can be hella triggering at times for me .

I lost my fiancé to a terrible car accident more than 7 years ago. I went into deep depression after that. I used to be very very close to my brother my bhabhi and my mom. I started withdrawing hard. I was in some terrible spiral, I was texting his number for many years. I went through therapy, it really really helped. My spiraling stopped, I moved cities, changed jobs. I would go home occasionally and for the past three years I am back to sharing the bond with my family.

2 things that really helped were therapy and family. My mom especially - she was a single mom herself so I think she kinda understood struggle, they never made me feel like a bechari. In fact the way she brought me back was telling me she needed my help becos my bhabhi was preggers and Bhaiya was on his army posting, that period with my family helped.

While this is of course an event that spiraled me, and I have become fully functioning since then, there is a button that has been switched off forever, I cannot bring myself to have a deep relationship or love connection. I tried once, but it ended in a disaster. In fact I often feel terrible becos I really effed up the guy.

Another thing that helped, I got out of social media, completely cut off.

My suggestion please do try therapy it really really helps. The other thing that helped my fiancé’s brother who was also in the car but was saved was yoga and exercise.

What about now ? Ongoing ?

I keep it under control with meds and staying busy but all of it is back due to the lockdown.

Thanks for this thread, Maroon! 🤗

I suffer from Social anxiety since quite sometime.

Thank you for sharing! You are not alone.

Anxiety. It's been eating me alive since years now, used to think it's only because of studies and the pressure which it comes with in school. But even when i am an adult now trying for higher studies,it hasn't gone. Infact my panic attacks have gotten worse it's so bad that I can literally start crying anywhere be it in the shops, on the road, it's actually pathetic. And I don't want to go to a psychiatrist, don't want to get habituated with those medications. Don't want to think too much on my feelings because God they can be really intense be it my rage or grief. I just feel too much. Very rarely I find peace in my heart and mind.

Spiritual music, meditation helps me a lot, so trying them as of now and hopefully I become normal as I grow up. I don't want my current state of mind to be THE normal because it's too fu*ked up😭

I haven’t been diagnosed with anything,but I feel down most of the time.Lockdown was terrible for me because it made me lose touch with the reality.A schedule is the only thing which keeps me sane and that is lost.I do feel hopeful and hopeless at the same time. It makes me teary eyed in public places,cry continuously and snap at people.I find the smallest of things overwhelming and can’t keep up a convo or concentrate at all.My only escapism is sleep and internet.I do oversleep a lot without any timetable.All this has made me self sabotage a lot.Idk when I’ll stop feeling this😞

I’m done with life tbh because I could never achieve much and am scared to start over again, just have a truckload of regrets.Have been such a disappointment.Sometimes I do feel like ending it all but then don’t want to cause more problems so just holding on

Heyyy ..you're not alone.... Each and every bold part I can relate (just that some days it is okay and other days worse)...Yeah ending is not option at all, everyone would only remember the ending part, and lots of problems to families for lifelong, they would be forced to listen negative things from others..

Take care❤️
