I’m definitely going to try speak out more I think the big thing is the anxiety of people judging me or if it’s wrong for me to feel like this. I know I have to get over things to accomplish goals and have a better life I want new friends and happiness I don’t know where to start but hoping to get there some day I struggle with talking to people my own age because they always seem to have the best life with goals and loads of friends whereas I don’t have no education only gcses I dropped out of college years ago so no chance of uni I am thinking about going back into education maybe I will meet people there but then I’m nervous for other people my age already having friends and me not fitting in. I have big dreams I want to achieve I just don’t know where to start or how to get there if that makes sense.

Despite your anxiety and fears you have lots of great ideas and goals. Believe in yourself and you could do anything you wanted for yourself. Baby steps just to get your thoughts in order and before you know it you will be flying.
You mention that you think people are living their best life with lots of friends. People aren’t as confident as you think, many disguise their insecurities by just acting. And loneliness is a major issue for more people than you realize. There’s a Loneliness thread on here and reading this Depression thread shows how little confidence we have. These people you see aren’t nearly as confident or fulfilled. Believe you are every bit as good as anyone.

Thankyou I think everyone has struggled massively due to the lockdown especially xx
You always give such great advice, Libbylulu
I agree with you completely.__________________________________________________________________
How are you beautiful people doing today? Sending love and support to everyone who needs it.
Slept for 15 hours today but I had a nightmare so the long sleep was far from restful. I wasn’t productive at all this weekend. Woke up at 6 pm very sad and restless so I ordered takeout. I hate myself a little today. 
Thank you so much, this was honestly really assuring and validating. I think Instagram is part of the problem so I've deactivated it for a bit. I think this is my favourite thread here- I love how everyone gives so much good advice despite struggling.
I can't sleep 
Me too social media is a big problem comparing to others life’s but we just have to remember that people only post what they want us to see. Instead maybe deactivate it and what time you would spend on Instagram maybe do something productive like read a book or workout this will also help mentally. Yes this thread is amazing I’ve felt so much better speaking out it’s reassuring to know your not the only one going through things, together we can help overcome some of our hardest days.
Don’t beat yourself up for not being productive sometimes we don’t have no energy because we are so drained maybe you could take a shower to wake up abit and feel better.Slept for 15 hours today but I had a nightmare so the long sleep was far from restful.

Sorry if it’s a really been discussed - but does anyone else get really angry as a depression symptom? Im fine if I take my meds but as soon as I forget, I’m awful. So angry with everyone and everything
It is completely okay to be unproductive lovely! Please be kind to yourself, sometimes you just need to relax and recharge your batteriesSlept for 15 hours today but I had a nightmare so the long sleep was far from restful.

This. So much. I just want to remind everyone that when you feel jealous or insecure because of other people, there are tons of folks out there who feel the same way because of you since we all tend to sugarcoat our daily lives on social media. Don’t believe it, you are all wonderful and comparing yourself to others leads to nothing. Something that helps me is journaling and keeping track of my little victories. It lets you see how much you’ve grown compared to your past self.
Not anymore, but I used to be like this pre-meds. I’m choleric and hit the roof in a matter of seconds
Don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault. You are already a better person than the majority for thinking and caring about other people’s feelings __________________________________________________________________
I am suspiciously happy today. Had a nice time with my family yesterday, slept in until 11 and woke up cheery. But after so many failures and unhappy days I am worried I’m just being manic today and it will go downhill very soon. I hate feeling like I have to pay for being okay!
Don’t be worried about being manic and it going downhill because we all have bad days without bad days we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the good ones. I’m glad to here your happy and I hope you will continue to do so you have probably been through a hard time so you deserve happiness but remember sometimes you can’t control feelings and being down is ok too but things will get better please don’t feel like you have to pay for your feelings life is hard sometimes but no matter what we all deserve happiness!It is completely okay to be unproductive lovely!

The oldest student at my uni that we had on campus was actually 72. I saw him in the lunch hall just doing his thing. Everyone's life is different. I struggle with this too but at the end of the day the only opinion that matters of you is yours.
My mother went to english classes for adults. Maybe you could do a foundation degree, BTECs or a diploma first or have a look at the open university. Also a lot of people might have the picture perfect instagram but it's not always what it seems.
sertraline worked well for me - I felt the same - meh - all the time, but after a little while I started to get a bit of a buzz feeing back - a tingling of excitement about things again.

Thank you, that's very kind. I have been feeling a bit better since my last post, just been trying to keep myself busy.
