Relapses!

So like I've been trying really hard to maintain a sunny disposition, but lately, I've completely broken down. Like I keep on giving and giving and caring for other people and I get nothing. And I hate myself for expecting something in return, but I can't help it, ya know? Aren't any type of relationships supposed to give and take, not just give give give? It's like the people around me are leeches. And I've been trying to be positive and optimistic, but it's very hard when everyone around you screams the world is horrible and that I won't amount to much and I should just accept that. I want to hold onto my big dreams, but like they're feeling farther and farther away. I dunno . . . I was doing so well, but now all of the sudden my heart feels heavy as fuck again. You guys know of any way to un-relapse? Or just a way to try and bring my hopes back up again? ┗( T﹏T )┛

    we might be different because i dont really like being with people. i have friends and stuff but i think they know i dont really like people haha. it might help if you try to distance yourself from them a bit. i was experiencing depressive symptoms a week ago, and i was scared of a recurrence so before that happened i made sure to tell everyone (i have a lot of work for my organisation and other stuff too) that i had to leave for a bit, and they were pretty understanding.

    Shit.. i know how you feel, just.. ignore what people say because if you let what people say to you get to you then your just gonna start overthinking things, and then regret things, and started hating yourself or watever.. Try to think positive.. maybe go outside to a cafe or something maybe a park? Just try to relax you know. Idk if this even gonna help you or not XD but just think positive.. idk..

    Thank for the advice. The person at the core of all this is leaving for quite a bit pretty soon, so I'm hoping that will help. I think taking some time for myself will prove to be very beneficial.

    Thanks! I guess moping in my bed and not leaving the house isn't very helpful, so I'll try to get outside. And I'll try my hardest not to overthink things more than I already have. I'm just trying to tell myself that there's no way to tell what the future holds and to just keep pushing forward! Your advice was lots of help. They say if you force yourself to smile, you'll start to feel better, so that's what I'm trying to do.!
