Help me out

[yoyogirl]

Okay what can I do? I have been suffering from periods of highs and lows over the past few months for no apparent reason. Okay I am going through a lot and I am already diagnosed as having depression, pstd. But my parents are under the illusion that my problems are just black and white once I have job, friends I willl be normal. I am also claustphobic in my own surroundings plus at my local centre and seeing friends is nightmare as I am always panicking over being confined and I am also not getting much deep sleep so I am constantly foggy, overtired and drunk like without the alcohol. Help!

I'm sorry that you parents are a bit black and white, that must be difficult. They are right in a sense that some people do find the regular routine that comes with employment helpful that said it isn't necessarily a magic cure. Do you have much routine in your life at the moment?

Do you monitor your moods? There are a few websites and apps about that can help you do it, it can be quite helpful in spotting trends and patterns in your mood.

Are you receiving any support at the moment?
