What do you do when your not happy anymore?

I’m at this point in my life where I’m not happy like I used to be. Idk why. Usually I would turn to alcohol and weed but I’m trying my best not to drown my pain in that. I can’t seem to find the source of my unhappiness.

Depression doesn't need a trigger. It can be general.

Yea I read into that. I just have this feeling that there is a reason why. And when I have a feeling I’m almost always right. @canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 Does it happen with certain places or situations or things or people?

kyky16 · 22-25, F

Idk to be honest. Something like a simple show can trigger this and it lasts a while. But I’ve noticed i haven’t been happy for a while, I just tell everyone close to me I’m fine so I don’t have to talk about it. @canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 Talking might help you uncover what it is though. What kind of show has triggered it before?

kyky16 · 22-25, F

Greys anatomy lol. I’m re watching it and it’s made me realize I’m not happy. I can somewhat relate to Meredith grey (one of the main characters). If you watched the show I’m sure you understand. @canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 Well that could make anyone sad. lol

kyky16 · 22-25, F

No the show doesn’t make me sad. It’s just the problems the characters have I somewhat go through. Like merediths family issues I go through the same things. Idk hi to explain it@canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 That was explained well don't worry. You are at that age problems come up too:(

Yea life at the moment just really sucks. And I have nobody to talk to. I think therapy would be good. Just so I can get professional advise,
You know. But my mom doesn’t believe in therapy. @canusernamebemyusername

If she doesn't believe in therapy she effectively doesn't believe in talking. :/

kyky16 · 22-25, F

Yea I know right lol. She thinks seeing a therapist for emotional problems is a waste of time and money. She believes I should talk to her about everything I’m going through. But I hate talking to her about my problems. @canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 Sometimes you need another persons perspective. That is the point of teamwork. lol I know my therapist doesn't do a lot but it is nice to have someone that understands my feelings and knows what I am going through.

kyky16 · 22-25, F

That’s why I want a therapist. I’ve tried talking to my mom but it turns into an argument or a lecture. And then causes more problems @canusernamebemyusername

@kyky16 Yeah therapists don't do that. Not if they are good ones at least. Bad ones will do that though.
