Nothing in the world seems to help. I spent forever trying to find something to watch, but literally nothing felt good. Even when I eventually put something on it felt empty and I just ended up staring at the wall. I tried playing videos games, some of which I really love, and I turned them all off after a few minutes. I’ve tried other things too. Half the time I don’t even eat. Time passes in slow motion, like some kind of purgatory. The worst is I can’t even sleep. I have the next few days off and they’re going to feel like an eternity. It actually scares me. How do you get through this? I’m desperate.
For what it’s worth, I see a therapist weekly and I’m on a few different medications. This particular bout of sadness is caused by an especially painful rejection.
Drugs and Alcohol
I don’t know if you’re joking or not but speaking from experience, they may help a bit on the short term but never on the long run, if anything they’ll most likely make things actively worse
They asked how I escaped, not if it was a healthy escape.
As someone struggling with the same shit, I wouldn’t say it is an escape. At some point it’s a fucking prison if anything
