Iv had events in my past that cant be changed. Flash episodes,the bad feeling of hurting others and living with the traumatic experiences. Used to abuse to try to escape it, now im handling it on my own with nothing but meds to manage it. 🤝🙏💯

No reaching out. Every single time. Even if it's just the hotline. I like to think of this when I feel hopeless. Is it really worth ending all the good that can come because today or however many days is bad? With help it can get better and not only that. If you do reach out and find some.groups of people going through similar things you can really make such a massive difference in the lives of others struggling too. Reach out anywhere you can. If you can't find help.. talk to someone else struggling and be the help. That way you find you have actually helped yourself in the process by finding and helping someone else struggling and knowing your not alone and can make a difference for good in this world. That's what makes it worth it.

What if you are actually experiencing the same type of event? It’s not just a trigger. Can it cause depression?

[@amyk6453]

Yes. That's happening to me. Or I think it is. I can't tell because I'm paranoid and so sensitive to it because I went through things children shouldn't. I guess hyper paranoid and aware so I don't actually know if I'm totally able to distinguish properly people's motives and it just makes me hide from everyone all together.

There is virtually no help for those with low-functioning depression. Clinicians and society only seem to care about those who are still useful to society by being high-functioning. All I get in snippets are how I ended up the way I am with no good advice except doing tasks in small batches which is still not enough. I fucking hate this. Meds didn't work, and even my therapist and psychiatrist didn't know what to do with me. Another therapist suggest IOP but I don't have the fucking money for that.
