You’ll find a job that suits you soon, I just know it. You are actively searching and really want to work, so keep doing this. The fact you got to a 3th round shows people are interested in what you have to offer. Don’t give up, you’re almost there
@anna834 I feel stupid for not checking the forums yesterday, because you are such a wonderful person. I know how you feel, I felt like that for man years. And now I know you can only get out of the circle of beïng really happy to really depressed. My therapist made a drawing like this, once, to explain. My drawing skills suck, but I think you get the point nevertheless
The blue horizontal line is “feeling neutral”.
The green line is how people without mental health issues feel like.
The red line is how people who suffer from depression feel like.
People with depression have really (abnormal) high moments of happiness and moments of total misery. While people who are mentally healthy feel good and happy overal, and do have moments of feeling down, they don’t have the moodswings like people who suffer from depression have.
Hope this explains enough. Don’t feel bad about feeling f*ed up when “you have no reason to feel like that”, it has nothing to do with the things that did or did not happen. But it has everything to do with your mental health so, to @anna834 @anomalia @StephLP18 and everyone else who needs to hear this right now: you matter, you are wonderful, I care about you, give your demons names (Seriously, it helps) and tell them that it ain’t true what they are saying! You are amazing
It can be hard, I still know how I felt all those years, before I got the right therapy. But I also know how I feel now, and you all deserve to feel better it just takes time and you can’t do this alone
About giving your demons names, it sounds ridiculous, but it really helps like this: I had a demon who made everything that people said to me, change it into something negative . So I called the demon “Negativ Nancy”. And everytime a friend said something to me, the demon turned it around in something negative. You believe the negative thought which makes you feel depressed. But then I would think: oh no, it’s just Negative Nancy again, the thought probably wasn’t true. And after a while (and with help of my therapist) I started to get better in the re-thinking about what Negative Nancy said, so it didn’t hurt me that much anymore.
I don’t know if my English is correct everywhere, or if my auto correct messed things up, but I have to leave to physical therapy.
Ot: Love everyone take care, you are amazing omw to physical therapy now
