Amazing how depression can make daily life seem like a daily marathon. [View all]
Just getting through each day from getting out of bed to the end of the day feels like a marathon run with an extra set of invisible weights you have to lug around. Last week I came home and literally couldn't stop crying for 30+ mins several days. Of course letting your health go all to shit, also because of the depression, only compounds the issue.
Those close to me, parents, are very frustrated because I'm not dong anything to help myself. And because of my self destructive behaviour. I don't blame them one bit but it's difficult when just trying to just stay the course at university without dropping out again seems to suck up all my energy and more. My perfectionist leanings don't help any as I'm still maintaining something like an 80% average or better but feel like I'm letting myself down even here.
It's funny I can still maintain a semblance of a normal happyish person at school and among the few people I meet daily outside the home.
