I guess I shoulda said more. I've only told those I trusted a lot here about my condition but I guess opening up here will help me get a bunch of shit off my mind. Anyways, these past five or so months have been utter shit to me. A combination of social anxiety, straight up anxiety, depression, and schoolwork have destroyed me. I've drifted apart from my high school friends and I have difficulty talking to people in my uni, so I got no one to hang out with. The only people i talk to now are my internet friends, but obviously we can't talk all the time especially since we are all in different time zones... I find myself comparing myself to others a lot too which makes me think i'm a loser and worthless. And the anxiety, I fear too much, irrationally. Stuff that shouldn't be my problem or my worry I worry about way too much. A few times i've thought about taking my own life.
but a few weeks ago I finally saw the sun break through the clouds. Being 18 it is natural for me to be angsty and want to keep away from my family and parents and shit, but I've realized how much they support me and could help me. Very close friends from here have helped me a lot too, you know who you are. I've also started seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication, and I think i'm also gonna seek out my uni's resources too. Listening to music I enjoy and can relate to (and cutting off music that I deem too negative or anxiety-inducing) has also been very helpful.
I'm not completely out of the woods yet tho. I'm better than I was a month or so ago, but I still get depression waves or panic attacks, sometimes during class, but with less frequency as before. Eventually I will be better. Hopefully.
Anyways, i'm not gonna be logging in as much anymore, as I think that cutting back on my social media will help me. Maybe i'll be back to being a regular once i'm mentally better...

Its good that you are able to see your situation so clearly as you do, and you are working on it. You will get better! Take care!

I'm glad you spoke out about it, and we are not going to judge you since nobody is perfect. Things may not be great right now, but my strongest advice in here is to try be a better person than you were yesterday, keep working on your future, distance yourself from negative influences, and be the most honest person in the room. Also keep your chin up and believe in yourself. It'll get better within time, I promise.

Thanks for the support everyone. I'm going to get better, believe me. There's a light through all these clouds, I just need to chase it. A close friend from here convinced me to at least log in every once in a while, so I won't be completely gone.

The biggest advice I can give as it worked for me, is to try and limit your 'meaningless' activities such as just watching tv and playing games. I'm sure you'll know what they are for you, I just found those two to feel meaningless and they wouldn't make me feel better. I made a routine and forced myself to eat 2/3 times a day, practised German, exercised and read until bed every night and it helped me so much. I would still watch tv and play games, but it wouldn't be my whole evening/day. Try and do one good thing per day i.e. get out of bed, have a shower, go for a walk, eat breakfast before a certain time. I have no idea if this applies to you or would help you, but it really helped me so thought I'd share.

It does sound good to hear that you see a light I‘d share a long post like the others did but I‘m afraid I‘m no good with finding any encouragement... I guess I‘m still fighting my own demons and fears all too often to offer some kind of helpful words. All I can offer is listening
