My depression is getting so bad. I am constantly on the verge of tears. I'm so stressed my hair is falling out. And I have not been sleeping as much as I should. I can't enjoy anything anymore. Its so bad that I've fallen into that dangerous cycle of being completely numb one day, to wanting to fall apart the next. I've not been able to keep up talking to my friends, and I can feel them slipping away. And the worst part is that one moment I won't care, and the next I'll need to be around them. But it never changes how awful I am. My anxiety is also through the roof. I nearly had to go home from work yesterday thanks to a panic attack. But I needed the money so I stayed. I just...I feel like my mind is getting dangerously dark. And I'm terrified. I just want it to end.

i'm probably going to tell you something you dont want to hear but I think you should seek out some help. There are many people who will sit down and speak to you, there is also people who will talk to your for hours on the phone.There are people here too that you can talk too.

Let's face it, the world can be a horrible place. It will hate you, and do anything to make your life miserable. But in the future the world will learn to love and your life will be happy. Talk to your friends about this, if they don't care, they are not your friends. Try to get in touch with someone, wether it be a therapist or someone random, tell them everything. Just keep going and everything will be better. Don't give up now.

Speaking as one who has had a similar experience, I want to say that you are not alone in this and keep holding on and don't ever give up!

I can really relate to everything you described. I was under a lot of pressure a few years ago and going through so much stress that I couldn't really function normally, and my hair had a massive shed too. I went in and out of that horrible numbness to then feeling raw emotional pain. I am not sure what you are going through or what is going on in your life, though I want to say that all that numbness and pain can heal and become better again. It can be a huge struggle every day, but taking time for the little simple things in life can help so much, and taking away any unnecessary burdens (either pressure in daily life that can be changed, or things kept close to the heart that should be let go), and finding support and being around people who care; I know it will seem too hard to keep up with friends always, but I think this is okay if you are not up to it too, I was the same way, sometimes you need time away too, and letting them know what you are going through might help (I found that even though I wasn't up to it always, being around good people really encouraged so much). Take time to absorb life, the scents, the sights, the sunshine, the sky, the stars. Only spend time around those who leave your spirits uplifted or refreshed (anyone who drains you is not always healthy to let into your life too much). Find a means to give vent to any emotions that have built up, listen to the type of music that uplifts you, and even if things don't interest you like before, being able to do things you enjoy can help relieve stress.

If you know if anything is causing your depression, this can really help a lot in getting encouragement or help for it. Like for me, I had a lot of things going on that must have put stress on my thyroid, since I have had trouble with low thyroid function (which really threw off the balance in my system), so finding out that helped me a lot. I hope that things become less stressful and more uplifting for you soon!

In 5 hours I have to get up and get ready to take an exam and I really want to do well on it because I'm not doing great in the class.
I haven't been able to sleep yet, and I only got 6 hours of sleep last night.
I'm so sick of this chronic insomnia, I did everything you're suposed to I went for a short walk, took a bath, turned off all technology an hour before I wanted to sleep, read and played soft soothing music, and now it's about 6 hours after I went to bed I still haven't been able to sleep and I'm so frustrated. I don't know what else I could have done, sleeping is suposed to be easy but it's such a big struggle and source of frustration and anxiety for me.

My anxietys been really bad lately too I think I had my first panic attack a couple days ago and it was really scary. I'm kind of afraid it'll happen again, especially at school or something. Since then things keep getting worse. I feel anxious and nauseous all the time and I never want to eat, even though I force myself to at meal times. Things just keep getting worse and I'm not coping well with it

I just don't know how to stop feeling this way, or how to make myself fall asleep.

my laptop is about to die and i have had 4 hrs of sleep. WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?WHAT IS WRING WITH ME?

[danibo]

I woke up at four. I was scared because I didn't know when I fell asleep, where, and why. I still don't know.

Well, at least I'm in on my bedroom floor.

Edit; It's almost five now.

I honestly feel like most american kids don't appreciate what they have, living in a largely accepting and supportive country, when that's just something I could never even dream of.

I'll never be able to come out of the closet and I just have to suck it up and deal with that. :')

good luck on your exam! you'll do great! have you tried
going to a professional about your insomnia? they could give you
stronger and more effective information. as for the panic attacks,
i have loads of things (breath with it) that can help with your anxiety
and panic attacks. go to a professional about that too, it's hard to deal
with it alone. good luck boo!<3

nothing is wrong with you. it's perfectly normal to feel this way.
try to do the advice apollo. wrote in their post ("I went for a short
walk, took a bath, turned off all technology an hour before I wanted
to sleep, read and played soft soothing music") try also drinking your
favourite warm drink (that doesn't provide caffiene). i hope you get
more rest tomorrow! good luck!<3

are you feeling better? talk to someone about how you're doing,
are you stressed at all? try to stop any stress that is currently
going on in your life. also do the above tips to help you sleep,
and try to remain calm if you wake up in an environment that
you're unsure of when you first wake up (even if you're in your
bedroom). good luck boo! and when you wake up, go wake your
family up if you live with them, or anyone you live with to help
you calm down. <3

why do you feel that way? that's not a fair comment to say, because
i am sure a lot of people appreciate what they have because they
also go through a lot. if you feel so strongly about your country
and how they don't treat people in the LGBT+ community fairly,
move away when you're 18. nothing is stopping you from your dreams,
nothing whatsoever. just do what you want, do what your goals in
life are. good luck!

But I never actually see any of them appreciating any of what they already have, and to me that's so bizarre and even a little infuriating when I'd give so much to have even a tiny fraction of what is part of their daily lives..

Yeah, nothing, other than money and family and anxiety, language bareers, having nowhere to do in general, not even having a job or a finished education that could help me get a job, not to mention actually getting the permission to stay in a different country.. There's a lot stopping me, really.. It's never been as simple as "just leave", nor will it ever be, as much as I would like that..
