I have a few questions as someone who is currently going through the deepest depression of her life

you need to get therapy if you’re not already. And not give up if it doesn’t work. Sadly a lot of people have treatment resistant depression that takes multiple trials of different medications or more serious methods like ketamine treatment or what is known as tms. Don’t give up. I was able to speak to someone in one of my psych classes who had severe depression for about a decade until they started this TMS treatment. They started to feel better with medicine after

I have struggled with severe depression when I was younger. For me it just sort of went away but I think it turned into seasonal affective disorder before just completely going away. But I have more recently struggled with very severe anxiety. It helped me to get self care apps because they would remind me of my goals of the day ranging from basic hygiene to journal prompts. I’m not sure if those would be beneficial or not for you. But I’d still highly recommend trying them out for about a month.

it’s so redundant but it’s redundant for a reason. Make sure you get out of your house even to get your mail every day, make sure to at least have one nourishing meal a day, try to stay away from social media (you can get apps that block other apps after a set time) etc. This is where the self care apps come in handy imo.

it’s normal to struggle with your mental health at some point of your life. It doesn’t make you any less of a person nor should you beat yourself up over it. Our bodies are truly not designed for our societal pressures. That doesn’t mean you should be ashamed or anything like that with your body or mind. It’s doing it’s best that it can right now.

honestly I don’t think anyone has their life together. As we get older we just sort of learn to accept the life we have and to embrace it. It is your life. No one else’s. You are on your own journey and we all take different amounts to get somewhere.
