i have to literally force emotions out so i don't seem dull and depressed
even though that's exactly what i am
how do i pull myself from this slump
its gotten worse
help please?
I know exactly what you're feeling, when you just feel stuck in this state of depression, I know how much it sucks and sometimes there is nothing you can do to get out of it, you kind of have to let it die out. It's okay to be depressed but what usually helps me the most to get through my spells is doing things that make me happy, such as playing with my dogs, reading an old book, listening to music, anything you know to have boosted your spirits in the past may help now. Now on the other side, you need to eliminate things that make you sad or angry, when I play on the xbox and I hit one of my spells, if anyone says anything I may get upset about I leave so I can go calm down. So drop that toxic friend or don't go on social media too often. Now, my longest spell lasted for quite a while, I would come out of it for some time but then I would slip back in because something emotional happened, such as a break up, losing a friend, etc. And my worst spell lasted two weeks, I couldn't eat well, I lost around 11 pounds, and I just felt dead on the inside, but I soon rose out of it, and I promise you that you will get out of this slump. Sometimes you just have to give it time and if you need any other support don't be afraid to message me
