Hello there,
Been stuck in depression for several years, and at this point I just feel broken and hopeless. I don't work or go to school anymore. I'm in treatment 7 days a week and I don't know why I can't move forward with recovery, it seems like I should be making some progress, but if anything it feels like I'm backsliding.
I was raised by parents with untreated emotional/personality disorders and experienced abuse in my young adulthood (not by family).
I've had multiple different diagnoses (major depressive, general/social anxiety, ED, Bipolar II, ptsd) and I'm not sure if I have a combination of disorders, or if it's just symptoms of the c-ptsd. I've tried a dozen different meds, which never seem to work, as well as other treatments and programs, but I'm still stuck.
I'm 23 and I can't even shower on a regular basis. I don't have friends because of a number of personality issues brought on (ironically) by my fear of rejection/abandonment. I know that social support is a huge factor in recovery and I worry I'll never gain a sense of community, and therefore will never recover. Glad I found this forum though
Nice to know I'm not alone.
