my brain feels like its fried.

i cannot think straight. my mind feels like melted, hot mush. i have a consistent baseline feeling of misery and despair, reinforced with intense, stressful spells and absolute hateful outbursts. i’ve felt more miserable in the past 3 weeks than i ever had in my life. i have been diagnosed with gernal and social anxiety disorder, and depression. i stopped taking my medication in june, and im not going anywhere with my life now. i’m a week away from my first college application deadline, and i have barely filled ou the application, barely drafted the essay, and am not ready to apply. i am missing 1 teacher reccomendation. i am in horrible shape. my grades have plummeted. i have missed numerous days of school to over-stressed, mental breakdowns. my mother has threatened me multiple times to s call a hospital/ psychiatry ward, but says she won’t do it ‘because it will screw up my life’. my life is so ******. please help.

Hey buddy, I’m in the same situation, but have been getting better thanks to personally preferred therapeutic remedies I’ve indulged in. Here’s a few things you should seriously consider.

1) Meditating/Hypnosis (Greatly relieves anxiety, stress, boosts confidence, relaxes your system) It just works wonders, and will dig through your subconscious to alter your perception on life.

2) Medication - Don’t stop taking it, Cymbalta/Ritalin combo will be your best bets here. Consult your doctor.

3) Psychiatrist - Consult with a professional who will hear your problems out, don’t be ashamed. 1/3 of the general population experience depression at least once in their lifetimes. They don’t judge you and will only try to help you.

4) Exercise - I know it may seem tough to get out and start at first, but once you actually take the initiative to do it, you’ll notice your energy levels rising, a confidence boost initiated by endorphines (happy hormones), as well as the look of your physique sculpting better and better each day. Eating healthy is a must here as well, and is actually much tastier than it sounds.

Good luck!
