I have suffered badly with depression in the past.
recently I have felt it creeping back in. Today I have a very tight deadline for some uni work. Usually I cope quite well under pressure with uni work because i enjoy uni. Well, i did until recently.
I have tonight and tomorrow to write a presentation and I should be giving it on Monday but i have been trying to make myself do it for a while now and I keep sitting looking at the screen and feeling thick.
I have thoughts that I'm stupid, I can't do it, I can't cope and I just want to give up.
I feel depressed. Worthless, stupid and I can't even muster up the mental strength to just write something. Last year I did really well, but recently i have convinced myself that I can't do it any more.
How do I stop this? I just want to get on but I'm stopping myself.
I need to stop feeling like this now, and when I've had depressive periods before they have gotten a lot worse before they have gotten better, and recovery has been slow. I don't want my DD to see me the way i have been in the past.
I will be assessed on this presentation so I can't just not do it. Which is what I want to do. I know people say you can't just 'snap out' of depression, but how do I at least stop it getting worse? And what can i do about presentation, because I really cannot make myself do it.
