[L] hey I'm 23male and I am struggling with depression
I’m currently struggling with depression and have been on antidepressants for the last seven months. It has been a difficult phase of my life.
Recently, I developed feelings for a woman who already had a boyfriend. I never forced myself into her life or crossed her boundaries. I mostly expressed my feelings through Hindi poetry and letters, while always respecting her decisions and space.
Now she has blocked me from everywhere. I don’t feel angry at her, and maybe that’s what makes moving on harder. I don’t know how to hate someone I genuinely cared about.
Alongside this, I feel very isolated. I don’t really have friends to talk to, I struggle to focus on my exams, and most days feel emotionally empty because of depression.
I’m not posting this to make anyone uncomfortable or to become a burden to someone. I think I just want human connection. A conversation. A friend. Even a small piece of advice in the comments would genuinely mean a lot to me.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re male or female. If you’ve gone through something similar or have any advice on how to cope with loneliness and attachment, I’d be grateful to hear it.
Thank you for reading.🤍✨
