So I’ve been feeling deeply depressed for about a year now… I’ve tried speaking to therapists and nothing has really worked out. None of them seemed to get what I was saying… 
I also have body image issues and have been gaining some weight. Exercise is helping, but only mildly. 

I’ve tried speaking to friends and family but I feel I have to be so careful with my words because I may weigh them down. Especially after covid, people seem to be so mentally fragile and unable to take any “negativity”. 

I’ve tried journaling and rationalising my thoughts - this really really helps. But sometimes I wish I had someone to talk to. Without worry about being a “downer” or a “mood killer”. To just pour my heart out and just have someone listen and understand me. 

Has anyone here felt this and managed to overcome this? Did you finally find a therapist who helped?
