Therapy and progress

I can't stop crying. I have nothing to really cry about. I've been crying on and off for weeks. Some days worse then others. Diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety when I was 6, currently 19. My therapist said I should move out of my house, get an apartment and things like that and I just talked to my parents about that. Hopefully that goes through. I just feel like a burden to my boyfriend and everyone. I hate the holidays, I feel miserable during those because nobody really cares about me and the most exciting thing is that people from Reddit are sending me gifts and cards. I have no friends I can actually go out with at night. I feel like my boyfriend is going to leave me even though he confided in very personal things with me.


I just don't know. I really don't. I feel so overwhelmed and I can't even sit in class without sobbing. Hopefully I can get through this class without crying.

I have therapy tomorrow at two and even my therapist said I should move out and all of that. I talked to my parents about how I felt but they never take me seriously.
Sorry for bothering you guys.

If you have a way to pay for it, living outside the family home makes a huge difference in outlook, esteem, and being empowered to make changes for yourself. Of all the things you listed, that is the one thing I would make a priority. It gives you a chance to live under your own steam. And, if there were things happening in your family home that have contributed to your depression and anxiety, it's hard to get on top of them while still there.

Yeah thats what I talked to my mom about VIA text. She said she is going to talk to my dad and my dad said he would let me move out, last week when we talked. Not sure if he changed his mind.

It sounds like you are pretty depressed. Feeling like a burden, crying all the time and all sounds like pretty severe depression. Have you considered an anti-depressant? Sometimes this can get us over the hump so that the therapy can actually reach our brains.

If you have a way of paying rent and are capable of caring for yourself, at age 19, you don't need anyone's permission to move out.

I've been on anti depressants for over 12 years.

I sympathize with the depression and hope some of that turns around for you. I agree with what was said above that moving out may give you some empowerment and confidence. It will also give you some control over your life. Is this a possibility and how do you feel about it.

I know how hard depression is and this time of year just makes it worse. Are there any activities you can do that help you to cope or feel better? Remember to be gentle with yourself and tell your T how you are feeling. I hope you get relief from this soon!

It sounds like your meds aren't working. Can you talk to your psychiatrist about a change?
