I feel like I’m somewhat coming out of my 2-year extended stay at the Depression Hotel. I was just discharged from a six-week outpatient program to help treat my depression, anxiety and ptsd. Now I’m back at my college finishing up the undergrad degree that I’ve been pushing off for the past year. I’m socializing again and meeting new people after staying holed up in my room/bed for several months. Everything *seems* great but I’m constantly living in fear of relapsing into a terrible depression if something doesn’t go right (i.e. I don’t find a job in the next few months after graduation). 

I can’t help but feel like I don’t even know who I am anymore. Tons of people keep coming up to me asking what my next steps are after graduation and I’m honestly so afraid. And then I see that all of the rest of my friends who’ve remained high functioning are graduating, getting jobs and living seemingly good lives. I still feel stuck…..but I’m not as stuck as I used to be if that makes sense? I’m trying my best to not overwork myself or stress myself out too much because I still feel like I could get burnt out again and go right back to the dark place I was in all of 2021. 

Any tips on how to feel like a normal human being again lmfao?
