I can't help how I feel.

@Ashley1998 Hi Ashley1998, thank you for opening up with us. I think many of us can relate to how you're feeling.

It was suggested to me when I was feeling ungrateful to make a list every day of 3 things I am grateful for. If you can't think of 3 things that's okay too. Start with one thing. As for feeling alone, I totally understand and feel the same way. 

Sometime i. Struggle just to exist....life is hard

My name is Lynne and I have had depression for 30 years what has helped is medication and therapy. It isn't for everyone and I don't like being on medication but depression is a disease that is a chemical imbalance where you don't produce enough serotonin. I am at a place in my life where I have friends that I go out with. You need to make time for you. Don't feel guilty. If you ever need to talk text me. Mental illness sucks but you can get better I did Good luck!!!

What helps for me, and it may sound childish and silly, but I swear it works at least for me. I treat every little thing I accomplish as a victory. Got out of bed today; WIN! Brushed your teeth? Dang it you’re on fire! A shower? Now THAT’S a victory today! Like I said it sounds silly, but it puts you in the mindset that you’re in control of your life and gosh dang it, you’re pretty good at it! 
maybe that won’t work for you, but it’s a thought.
