How to recover from attempting suicide/being rock bottom

I'm 20 years old and have hit the lowest point in my life.

In the span of 2 years, I've gone from dropping out of school, to being screwed out of a good paying job, to being unemployed and depressed for 10 months to attempting suicide all because of depression and anxiety.

2013 was a good year. I was recovering from my troubles from the past 2 years and was overcoming my social anxiety and depression. I met this girl from my work and eventually developed feelings for her... She didn't feel the same way and after an argument, she reported me to management for "insulting her".

I was up for promotion and this woulda ruined my reputation. Since work was the only thing going for me at the time, I panicked and felt like the whole world was coming down on me. I attempted suicide.

A week later, I'm out of the mental hospital. I applied for school and MAY return to work.. I figured going back to school asap would help me take my mind off things. Ever since the incident, I just don't have any motivation. I stop eating healthy, stopped working out, stopped showering etc.. I just cannot wait to get into school so I have something to do. But even then, it feels like I have no motivation to do anything... Any tips on how to get out of this hole?

hypnotherapy is a good way to change a negative mind set in to a positive one.
vitamins, especially the b group can make you feel calmer. eating healthy food , no sugars they take the mind and body on huge highs and lows .
getting up, and going to bed at a regular time everyday, getting in to a green space, park etc... helps to clear the mind. try and look at the larger picture ,the bigger horizon, instead of getting lost in a small micro world which our life can become.
if you fill your life up with the small things that you love for me double shot cappuccinos', food, funny dvds' etc before you know it the day is over and it was not to bad.
take care of yourself.

Have you spoke to your doctor or therapist about this. They might could help figure out what's going on.

I have talked to my psych... He basically told me to "put everything in the past". Psychiatrists are only useful for prescribing meds anyways.

I just have no motivation. I have no job (will probably be let go), no motivation to eat, shower, brush my teeth etc.. I keep thinking about getting into school as I hope it will help me gte my mind off things.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. First, be gentle with yourself. You don't get over that severe a depression overnight. I agree, shrinks prescribe drugs and I've not seen one yet that really was good at being empathetic enough to talk to a lot. Therps are good and have helped me, but it is still an effort on your part.

Sometimes you just need to set small goals for yourself. Getting out of bed, taking shower, eating something and maybe trying to journal your feelings? Go to therapy and committing showing up is really a big goal even though it may not sound like it.

Good luck, I've been there and a lot of people here can empathize. Take care.

I think the "put everything in the past" phrase is in the mental health 101 text book. One of those phrases every care giver must learn. How many times have I heard it...hmmm...let me count the ways.

As a frog of little brain I'm not qualified to give advice. However, I can tell you from my own experience the motovation can only come from you. Also you will have to dig deep and often to find yours.

I wish you quick sucess. (((((whiphoze)))))
