    The world just feels distant and less vibrant. It just makes me feel lonelier. And, yes I feel hopeless. There’s no point even if I find the hope to survive, what is it for?

    But when we’re just getting by, I find the diagnosis less helpful at the survival stage.

    I have read people saying that they felt less burdened when they got to know their diagnosis, that what’s wrong with them isn’t their fault. But, in that sense I feel the same as you, it’s not helpful for survival or at least doesn’t make sense for me.

    Thanks for listing down the points. It’s insightful and does articulate some of my thoughts that I was unable to articulate.

    Yeah, I just went from getting better to travelling and then crashing and falling into suicidal thoughts within a span of 3 weeks. Hence, I am worried and trying to figure out a way to seek professional help.

    Other than that, the label doesn’t matter to me. I am or I feel broken, no label can change that.

    There is something very freeing in not having to be “important” or to achieve something great.

    I am unable to digest this, I don’t know to feel free from this :(

    All you have to do is be and take care of yourself as best as you can.

    I feel like I am done trying. I just feel tired and I even feel tired of being tired :(

    I do not have any other visible symptoms for LAD and more over I do have a family history for depression so there’s that.

    I got access to psychologist and a psychiatrist through a family member (they work with them) and that’s how I got a diagnosis done. However, since they know the doctor on a personal level, they advised me to not continue with the doctor Further because A: that doctor is somewhat shady and only cares about monetary gains and B: since they worked in the mental health space for quite a while now they recommended against opting the medicines because it will have side affects as well as I won’t be able to function without them thus creating an addiction. Moreover, I was told that it’s more of a life’s phase since I just entered adulthood :/

    When I got diagnosed with severe depression, I actually did have 2 therapy sessions with a psychologist and the diagnosis was done by a psychiatrist. However, I couldn’t click with the therapist and as I said in an another comment, my access to further professional help was cut.

    It's best to consult a medical professional first before doing anything else.

    I am copy pasting my reply from this thread only:

    The very first thing I did was take a health professional's help months ago and I was diagnosed with depression that time and now my access to professional has been cut off hence I am trying to gain insights so as to have a strong ground to seek good and better help again.

    I fell off the wagon really hard after a severe anxiety attack a few years ago and effectively jettisoned my entire life. It was a struggle to get myself to go back to therapy and back onto medication, but it may be the option that's required.

    How are you doing now?

    Do you think all those thoughts and the perspective stays there but slightly faded because of the medication just so things can be tolerable and stable?

    A hobby won't be a magical cure-all, but it does help.

    I am on it. However, I did actually get a hobby. but I have taken a pause, because I cannot muster the energy, it feels like a burden.

    This sounds reasonable, I will try this for sure. Hope I can get through and follow it :(

    try to establish a (social) strucutre in your life that protects you from these waves of highs and lows. Because both will probably come again: the unreasonable highs and the unimaginable lows. Meaningful strucutre, social responsibilties, and relationships can act as a buffer against fallout and make sure that you are not swept away. It certainly is what keeps me going when I want to do and be nothing at all.

    This sounds reasonable, I will try this for sure. Hope I can get through and follow it :(

    I should be clear that I am not saying, "getting a hobby is all you need to fix your mental health problems". This is just a tool that has helped me among many other kinds of support and treatment that I use to manage my issues.

    Makes sense. But, to start, I did actually get a hobby and it does ask for caring. So there's that but I have taken a pause, because I cannot muster the energy, it feels like a burden.

    I will end by echoing other advice posted that I hope you seek qualified medical support and care.

    That's the goal. Thank you kind stranger.

    Please take my advice: talk to your healthcare provider, in whatever form that takes.
