Depression Makes My Life Feel Unbearable
Question
I'm feeling hopeless and life is unbearable. I suffer with depression. How do I find motivation? How do I keep going?
Counselor response
Dealing with depression and feeling hopeless can be really exhausting to handle. There is so much emotional pain that is tied to feeling like life has become unbearable, and we want to help you through this. When you have so much going on with your emotions, it can be hard to take care of yourself. It can feel like a challenge to get through your day. Taking small steps to care for yourself can eventually add up and help you to see hope shining through the pain.
Here are some YLYV articles that we encourage you to look at to help you take those first steps:
It takes a lot of strength to ask for help and it isn't easy to share that we have been struggling – you did both of those today and that is amazing. We encourage you to talk with those around you to help you through this tough situation. We also want you to know that you can give us a call 800-448-3000 to continue talking about this. We will be here for you.
Take care,
Kylie – Crisis Counselor
