I can't enjoy anything, I'm extremely low functioning in regards to work, I can't. Uni is a struggle. I can't manage financial decisions. I'm not allowed to drive anymore. I can't cook without burning myself every single time. I try to distract myself, feel.

I'm sorry you are struggling.
It's really hard to function when we are like this, even basic chores become a mammoth task. It's good that you try to distract yourself. There are many relaxation tools you can use. I hope that you have a good mental health support system in place. Take care. |

Sorry you are struggling. I know how you feel. I have made some very poor financial decisions in my life. I lost two jobs in a row two years ago due to depression. Since then I have just done a lot of side work and that has only been in the past nine months. The year and a half before that I could barely get out of bed. I barely held it together at work for three months before I just couldn't make it in.
Reach out for help as much as you can while you are still able to function to a certain degree. It may help very much. In my case it didn't. I got all kinds of help during that period when I got fired and it didn't help. Even TMS. But you never know. Nine months ago a new med worked. This time of year would normally be my absolute worst and I would be in a deep depression. this year I am not. The meds and therapy are working. I had a great holiday. We have to keep trying and we need lots of help.

 I struggled with depression and anxiety back in August, fortunately with a hospitalization and a complete med change the doctors were able to get me back on the right track. I hadn't cooked in years until just recently. I couldn't even decide what I wanted to eat much less cook it. But I can't imagine not being able to drive. That must be really hard for you. I would hate having to give up my independence. Just hang in there. There is always hope that things will get better, even though I know personally it is hard to see this when you are in the midst of such struggling. I hope things get better for you soon.

I know the feeling - intellectually you know you have to do things and can usually make do but sustained effort without an emotional connection to what you do is far too exhausting
I truly wish I could say I know of a solution but, considering how bad my life is, you would be best off doing the opposite of whatever I say |
