i know what I need to do. i just can't make myself do it :(
I've been living with my boyfriend in another city for the past four months, and i feel completely stuck.
the plan was always for me to find a job, but I still haven't. i just send my resume online, and I've only gone out to hand it out in person once. i know i should be doing more, but my anxiety makes it feel impossible. the truth is... i don't even want a job. i know i need one, but i have no motivation.
for context, I've struggled with depression since i was a kid. I've been in therapy for two years and i have depression, anxiety, and bipolar II. not on medication because i can't afford it.
I've been having suicidal thoughts. i often feel like i don't want to be alive anymore. the only reason i'm still here is because i don't want to hurt my boyfriend and my family.
i keep thinking that if i can't find a job, i should at least take a course or study something, but nothing interests me anymore.
most days i stay home applying for jobs online or doing nothing. some days i barely get out of bed. i don't get dressed because i have nowhere to go, and i struggle with basic things like brushing my teeth, showering regularly, or keeping any kind of routine.
i feel guilty all the time because i know what i should be doing, but i just can't make myself do it. my therapist encourages me to build small habits, and my mom is starting to notice that i'm not doing well and that scares me so much, but nothing seems to get me moving.
i genuinely don't understand what's happening to me. has anyone else been through something similar? how did you get out of it?
