Lately I've been so depressed...I feel so alone. I try to push through the days only to realize my days will be the same. I have no friends, barely any family. I work I come home and I know I should be grateful because there's people in worse situation than me. What can I do to shake this, sometimes I wish I wasn't even here. it's literally just me and my daughter and I try and try to connect with people. I don't know anymore is it me?. I'm just really tired

You’re not alone! When I feel this way I try to call some family to catch up with them. I also will order small things on Amazon that won’t break my bank acct but give me reasons to get excited about the next coming days:) as hard as it is, forcing yourself to be productive makes a huge difference. Even if it’s small! Clean a toilet, make the bed, or just brush your hair!

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. 😞 That’s tough. I wish I could give you a hug. Yes, it can be hard to connect with other people, especially when you’re busy and exhausted. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It just means life has its challenges. And I feel you on all the days being the same. I’ve found it helpful to have small fun things (going to the bookstore, meeting up with a friend, monthly game night, etc.) planned so I always have something to look forward to. Do you have any friends or family you can lean on for emotional support?

hi thank you for your message and unfortunately I don't have either. I think that's why it's harder.

Hi Chauntell, have you tried supplementing vitamin D for several months? It helps treat depression

Have you ever tried Bumble BFF? I met 6 of my friends on that app. I think it’s the easiest way to make friends.
