I’m nothing. I can see what I want, who I want to be, and I can never achieve it, have never been able to. For years I’ve worked, over a decade. Drawings, poems, music, stories. And none of it is ever finished. None of it is good enough, nothing is what I want. I’ve been practicing and practicing for years, sure I’ve improved but-. After I lost the love for it, even after I brought it back, I can’t find it in me to see through anything. I hate everything that it try to do, I’m disgusted by all of it. I’m steps away from being an artist. I see what I want and can never have it, can never be it. I’ll never build a name for myself, I will always be obsolete, my not even half finished works invaluable. I have no motivation, no drive, no talent. I’m aware. I’ve never learned how to push myself. When something gets to difficult I give up. At the sight of a blockage in my path I turn the other way without even trying. I know this. I tried my hand at guitar, it hurt to move my fingers across the fret board, my fingers to small to move up and down easily, so I left it, never picked it up again. I know I quit. I can never have the visions that artists do, I lack a drop of creativity. Nothing I do is finished, all my sketches are simple and elementary. I never built anything for myself. I took from easy books and things on the internet and never learned, I got stuck a long time go and haven’t been able to move since. I’m a coward.

i'm upset and need his reassurance,
but now i feel like it's becoming too often
do i stop asking and do this alone for his sake?
i'm afraid im not strong/secure enough for "medium-distance"
im going to be alone soon


i want to shy away, hide, and regress, so someone will come help me
i'm so scared to be alone, please don't leave me here
i'll curl into a ball and stay in this hole until you tell me it's okay to come out
i'm no good for you

does anyone have recommendations for coping with depression while battling severe executive dysfunction? im struggling to stay afloat with no one to talk to and i need to be able to self regulate direly right now

I know it's so hard and I don't know how to give advice that will probably seem like you've heard a million times so I'm sorry if it does. First thing I would say is to be kind and patient with yourself, it's hard and it takes a lot of energy to fight against your own mind, and we know that depression does not leave us with a lot of energy to work with. The hardest thing is getting started and gaining momentum but things get tend to get easier after that. I try to trick my brain into getting things started, knowing that I'll probably keep going once I do. One good trick is the 10 minute rule, just work on something for 10 minutes (even set a timer if you'd like) and it doesn't seem as overwhelming that way so it's easier to convince your brain to do it. Chances are that you'll keep going after the 10 minutes because it feels good to get things done, and if not, you at least did something! If you use your phone and social media a lot a dopamine detox can help too. It helped me reset my brain a bit and recalibrate the threshold that I need to get something started. You can message me if you need someone to vent or talk to who understands what depression and executive dysfunction feels like <3

Lately I'm just feeling lonely. People be draining my energy. Work is getting stressful. My partner is stressing me out. I can't sleep most of the time. I also have something going on with my eyes. Months ago all of a sudden my eyes started hurting and my head hurting. And my vision is blurry or won't focus. Like I can read but I gotta really focus my eyes to see clearly and because of that I'm always getting headaches.

I've went to eye doctors, had a mri scan they don't see anything wrong. Next they were talking about mri on my brain to see if something up there is causing this.

I feel like I annoy people or I'm to weird. I'm not very chatty but lately I sorta want to chat with someone. Make a new friend.

Being pregnant is exciting bit scary. I'm afraid If I'm stressing to much I could lose the baby. And I hope my partner dosnt leave. I'm always thinking he might cause everyone leaves me at some point. Even though he assures me he won't.

I just wanna quit and just be able to sleep good and sleep all day and forget about everything and everyone.

gonna echo this and note some things that have helped me in case anyone else is struggling <3

‣ if you're really struggling to even do things for five minutes, don't. literally just do one thing. pick up a piece of laundry, throw it in the bin. that's it. ONE thing is better than nothing. take it minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day - second by second, if you must. "i've done one good, productive thing this minute/hour/day" helps me a lot

‣ istg watching those satisfying restock videos on tiktok helped me SO. MUCH. i used to watch the storytimes on youtube to fall asleep while i was incredibly depressed and that's what inspired me to get out of my 3-year-long rut.

‣ remember that your best may look different every day. you may be able to write 3 essays one day and only be able to write one sentence the next. do your best, but don't push it if you can't.

‣ seriously, remember that you aren't alone. millions of people suffer from executive dysfunction and it sucks. surround yourself with positivity regarding the topic, not negativity. if you're watching cleaning tiktoks/videos to get motivated, i don't recommend looking in the comments because there's usually a lot of negativity. you're not a bad person for struggling

[marinara sauce]

every day is so different - one day i’m optimistic and have the energy to get through the day, and the next all i do is live in the past and get stuck in my own head
i’m really sick of the ups and downs. just want to be okay
