Contains abuse - RANT: Just depressed and apathetic towards getting better

Been abnormally depressed today, my depression has been really good for the past few years, while the anxiety has skyrocketed and I hate to talk to people or leave the house alone. I think I feel depressed today because I'm realizing I don't really want to change. I don't want to deal with my anxiety and get out of the house because what's the point? There's no job opportunities in this stupid bilingual city of mine, and would just freaking lose it if I moved away from my mom. I just want a small apartment to call my own (with BF of course) and have a cat and try to do something online where I don't have to go out and be overwhelmed and struggle so freaking hard to say the right freaking thing only to muck it up anyway. I'm not just making up bull anxieties, it's happened for everything I do work related, I can never please, never do things right, and I just shut down.

There's so many things I want to fix, but not for me. For others. My mom wants me to get out, experience the life I'm missing, but I don't really care. I want my own place, but I can't do with with what I get in disability.

I also feel guilty that I can't be sexually active for my BF, who is so patient but I mean, I don't see that changing, I never ever have wanted or really desire sex. To do it now would be traumatizing. I wasn't abused sexually, but was dealt with inappropriately, don't really know if it has to do with it or if I just never want it. I wouldn't care if it wasn't for the fact that he suffers, he doesn't get the intimacy that he craves. I know he won't leave, but I still feel like he deserves better. I just don't need as much socially, and get so overwhelmed when there's too much of it, even from the people I love.

I just feel like nobody cares, don't have any good friends since they've all moved on and I'm just not there. I think I felt closer to them then they did to me, which hurts because I struggle to make friends, and I have no place to find new ones.
I understand my mom cares, but I just keep disappointing her, and after this huge fight we had (I believe because of how severe my PSM symptoms are getting, the mood swings are out of control) our relationship is falling apart. My BF is so amazing, I just feel a lot of the time like I don't get the emotional support I need from him. He tries, but he doesn't know what to say and my mind discards it because I feel like he's just pitying me and saying stuff that strangers could say.

I just have no goal, I want a job, but not enough to endure the amount of stress I KNOW I'll endure. Even thinking about getting a job is horrid, I want to be responsible and move out but I don't feel like I can cope with any of the stress that will come because of it.

Going to talk to my therapist about it, I really like him but don't feel like he 100% gets me or what to do about this.

But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:
And now from having ridden out desire
They lie closed over in the wind and cling
Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.

Sorry to hear your feeling really rubbish at the moment, can you take your mind of your depression and life for a while, read a book, write a letter or whatever you need to do to distract and take your mind off life for a while.



Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.

I'm trying to keep distracted, but I feel like if I do that I'm just avoiding the issues, I dunno

Is there something you are interested in like a particular thing you read up or why don't you find some news articles in the daily mail online and give them a read and usually it helps I find going on forums helps and unwinding with a cup of tea and bad of chocolate. Why don't text a friend or someone you are in contact with frequently that's not a professional or working with you and have a conversation about whatever is in the news or latest celeb gossip or have a matter in the ryl chat and talk about what ever is on your mind and help others

I'm doing better right now, but I'm going to keep your advice in mind for when it gets bad again. Writing it down helped too, since it wasn't all swirling in my head and making it harder to be happy
