I have suffered from depression and anxiety for most of my life, with recurrent suicidal tendencies. 2-3 years ago had some major life stressors, and basically I suffered a major nervous breakdown, which basically destroyed my career.
Have had extreme difficulty finding support from anyone. I am struggling with extreme loneliness, which compounds the whole issue.
Around the same time, I found the Q movement, which gave me something to hold onto.
But, I am burned out, and am having a lot of difficulty from life. My depression and anxiety are continued, with little improvement. I tried SSRIs (last resort), but all it did was lead to increased weight gain, which made me more depressed. I also began drinking heavily, which was the only thing that made me feel good.
I have never really had anyone to talk to about these things. I feel that things are going downhill for me. Time keeps moving on, little is improving, I am getting older, losing my hair, and becoming more and more isolated.
So I am taking a break from all of this. Not sure when I will return. Thanks, please pray for me and wish me luck, I need it a lot

same advice as always... but will repeat it..
walk and listen to music with out lyrics.. stuff like gladiator sound track or brave heart or what ever you like...
work out even a small amount...
find a hobby anything inprefer a hobby or a skill to learn that will make some money..
look into smart recoevery it is a program that doesnt have a higher power and helps stop drinking or abusing drugs
read. not self help books good books. cut out tv and limit internet... get a phone that is dumb with no internet access... for books i have looked up list of the top 100 books from different generas... if a book makes more then one list read that book.
its easier said and done but start anyways... there is a greak word.. arkansia it means to lack the motivation or dicipline to do things that we know will benefit us... try to beat arkanasia... also read the stoics.
