Yeah no ive hit a new low. I feel so shit even getting out of bed is like a challenge. Ive only gone to uni twice in the last 2 weeks and feel like even the things that brought me joh, such as play valo with friends, hasnt. I feel like this is partially bc of the depression and partially bc of me wanting to be able to play with friends who are 3 full ranks higher then me so i cant, they don’t want to and it drains the fun out of playing the game. What do I do, i feel helpless and since yesterday ive only thought abt how I wish death must come soon for me.
Please help me

hard reset
stop doing everything and only continue with what genuinely brings you joy/what you need to do to live. Find 3 hobbies: 1 that exercises you, 1 that is art, and 1 that pushes your thinking. Find people that genuinely like you for you and spend you energy on improving urself
No matter what, get up out of bed and face the day. the hardest part is getting up, everything else come easy
make some good habits, maybe like going for a run every day, you will be surprised how good a little bit of daily exercise does you
Ive never been the running type tbh. I go gym whenever I can but im so tired when I’m there focussing is too hard so I feel like I’m not improving
The trick is to just not focus. take gymming (or running like i do) as a way to just relax your brain while your body gets exercise
I’ve been (still am tbh) in the exact same position you’re in and while it’s tough as fuck, just moving around and listening to music has helped clear my head
It’s tough as hell but try and get your sleep schedule as good as possible, make sure you eating and showering regularly. If you still feel like shit and hopeless make sure to reach out to someone you trust. Verbalizing what you’re going through always make it feel less impossible and more hopeful than keeping it in your head. Sending love and rooting for you to get through this.
whatever you do, DO NOT gamble the money for your uni. U will feel much Worse trust me
Appreciate the smaller wins in life you get every day and try asking your friends to play either something else or unranked with you
There are no small wins that I see. I didnt reach my deadline. Ive Done nothing but game for the past 2 weeks and skip uni, hoping to feel better. And my friends. Yeah no some of them play to win instead of to have fun so unrated isnt rewarding
make sure you're eating enough
try to go for a walk in a park at least once every few days, exposure to greenery is scientifically proven to improve your mood
touch grass, literally go outside and find new things outside of Valorant and ranks
Iknow, it’s not like it’s the only thing ofc, but it’s the problem people on a valorant forum might be most familiar or helpfull with
Reset and start easing yourself into things you’ve enjoyed before depression , as someone who struggles with the same thing … theres no off switch you have to talk about it and pretend its okay sometimes forcing a smile helps alot
Resetting is quite difficult when the standardized thought for the past 3 years is “I wish i could die”. And besides, the things that used to bring me jou like gaming and hanging with friends don’t bring it to the same level(I have talked abt it with my therapist, she says it’s a normal symptom) so it’s quite difficult
I understand man ive been there but I can tell you dying isnt the answer you get unlimited chances while you’re alive talking to a therapist can help but you gotta actually make the effort to improve you
It's epidemic bro. I feel the same way. I know that a lot of others people too. But yes - getting outside, good sleep schedule, maybe consider visiting a specialist.
I’m rooting for you, you can do it! This post is proof you haven’t given up! One small step at a time
treat it as a normal day, once u get used to it u won't feel so shit anymore
u can talk about ur problems and feelings here, I can read all of it bc after school and shit i don't have much to do
