Hello 19 year old with autism and depression here. Im on pills given by a doctor, ive tried therapy, dnd even. I just feel depressed and im not sure why possibly hormones or maybe that fact that i haven’t accomplished anything in my life or even done anything, also im broke to say. Everyone tells me to workout but i dont feel motivated to even do that plus its super hot outside and i cant afford a gym, maybe im making excuses…
I just feel lost on where i should be right now in life and im clueless on what the next steps are.
I haven’t seen this here yet, but practice mindfulness. It sounds silly, but time and again, it’s pointed out in studies about depression.
Be thankful of all that you have and take a minute of your day to think about that. Think about all the benefits and privilege that you take for granted. Be thankful of the kind people you have around and of all the things you enjoy.
This will hopefully make you gradually realize that you are in a better position in life than it seems.
Also can confirm: it gets so much better with age and/or some effective counseling.
