I get that feeling, you are not alone.

You deserve to feel better and I acknowledge that you are trying, that is the first step.

Holding lots of space for whats coming up @Kyle1 💛

hopelessness @fluffylight 

That's what's coming up.

Utter despair. 

And not only is it paralysing, but I'm  growing so ashamed of it...

Like, I'm so defective that I can't even tend to the defects...

[fluffylight]

Ah hopelessness, its not a nice feeling to carry @Kyle1 thank you for sharing this

I see strength in you being able to label and recognise whats going for you 💛

I know about that paralysing feeling, I feel it especially when I am in bed and cannot get out.. the shame can creep up.. What do you feel that is from?

[Kyle1]

from so long of not getting well. Or support @fluffylight 

[fluffylight]

I really can feel what you are sharing @Kyle1

I am curious how getting well looks like for you?

[Kyle1]

what a very formula like question @fluffylight 

I suppose the answer is MC2

Hi @New23 

Welcome to the Sane forums.

I suffer from anxiety and depression amongst some other things too.

I hope you find this a supportive place and it is the support you are looking for.

Do you see any professional supports too?

Would love to know a bit more about you.

Sharing my apologies if that question didn't sit well @Kyle1

Guess getting well looks different for everyone and its an ongoing journey!

How have you been travelling?
The sun is up and letting in a cool breeze at my place

[Kyle1]

yes, here aswell. @fluffylight  sun shiny day. Fresh breeze. 

I can't go out to enjoy it - that's saddening.
