I’ve struggled with depression for a while, but it seems to have gotten a lot worse recently. I never want to talk to friends, and when I do I’m just a downer the whole time. I can barely get out of bed for work and I have barely any motivation to take care of myself or the apartment. This is just making myself feel even worse because I want to change it so bad but I can’t bring myself to. Not only that but through this episode I’ve gained a considerable amount of weight. I’ve always been a slightly active person but I just can’t bring myself to leave my apartment and  this added weight is adding on to that significantly. I feel like I’ve lost all passion for what I love and I don’t even want to finish my last year of college. I feel therapy would benefit but my parents heavily frown upon it. All my mom does is tell me I’m lazy and disgusting for gaining weight. How can I uplift myself to go out? I know exercise improves my mood significantly but bringing myself to get out of bed is so hard.
