Motivation and Confidence?

Yes I definatly seem to have a cheering section on here and for that I thank you all very much and J and anyone else who needs it, I will cheer for you as well :)

I go through that as well, I call it my cyclical depression. I just stop caring and I do the minimum of what I have to do to get by. I don't talk to people, my stuff is a mess, I either eat a lot or don't bother, I don't enjoy things that I usually do, insomnia, feeling that everything is going to get worse, etc. I just try to push myself a bit more than what I feel like. If I need to do laundry, I'll do that and the dishes. If I need to do homework, I'll do it and organize something. If I just want to lay down and do nothing, I'll exercise a little first. When I don't feel like talking, I'll mutter things under my breath and say stupid things. This helps prevent a spiral effect of everything getting worse. A lot of the time I just need to sort my thoughts and time to think about where I am, who I am, and what I want to do. Just don't get lost in despair, take everything in stride and just accept where you're at, both the failures and successes (attempts are victories in and of themselves). And like the others are saying, don't be afraid to have people support you. Sometimes, just having someone you can tell that you're having a rotten time is good. You might not feel better right away, but just knowing that someone will listen and care about you will help you heal slowly. Just know that a lot of us here know what you're going through, and that we are here to support you. You are not a burden, you are a comrade.

Kane thats a lot to go through man. Sometimes it really is hard to see the bright side of things especially if it's a medical condition like depression. More people suffer from that than what people would expect. Sometimes medicine helps, other people use certain outlets in order to help them get by. My mother for instance suffered from a long term depression, but she had started doing line dancing every weekend. After words she started to just let negative emotions go and has continued to line dance ever since, she's a pretty big dancer in the community too lol often teaching at local churches and parties that her friends host. But a long story short she found an outlet that let her let be happy again. So try to cheer up man, there are definitely people here you can talk to. That way the problems you face don't have to be by your self. Cause you dont have to be alone.
