how long will it take?

I just want my life back on track. I get so depressed all the time that it's getting hard to breath. I've cried so much that it feels like I am finally out of tears. Feels like it's been forever and nothing improves. It's still difficult letting people get close to me, and I can't even try to open up without feeling like the biggest burden.

Recently, I lost my job, and trying to find a new one takes more time than I thought. Also, I don't have my license yet, so transportation is limited beyond walking and public transport. I don't have any friends with cars and I don't really hang out with anyone at all, so any time I go out are plans I make myself. Although, without my job now, I can't afford to go out as much. This leads to me spending most of my days in my bedroom alone which influences depression to consume me.

All of the negative thoughts that I pushed down while distracting myself with work started to reach the surface one by one all the while drowning me under. I try to tell myself that it's all going to be alright and that I've been through this all before, but instead of thinking "you can get through this", all I'm stuck with is "why does this keep happening?" or "is it always going to be like this?". Am I really stuck like this forever?

I know complaining or venting isn't going to solve anything and if you really want something, you have to put in the work, but I'm at a point where I feel nothing is working. It just feels like anything that has been pretty positive in my life has slipped away one way or the other, as if nothing in my life can stay stable for more than a year. Makes me feel like nothing lasts forever or nothing can stay permanent which is good and bad for me. Good because change is good; I like a lot of different things as well as different experiences, but also bad because I want some structure and promise in my life. I want to feel like not everything will leave me and that I have some hope to look forward to, but it's just been so long.

All I can do is keep holding on and wait for it to get better because almost every fragment in my body is screaming at me to wait, but every thought in my mind is telling me to let go and I've never fought myself more. I have to hold on. Life will go on and it will be more than I can ask for. As for now, all I can do is keep my head up and try to live every day like it's my last because it just might be. I wasted so many years being depressed and wasting my days, but I don't want that anymore.

How long will it take? I'm not sure yet, but I'll never find out if I just give up.

Use long-tail keywords like 365 Prompts Journal. One of the most important aspects to getting ranked on Amazon self publishing is the seven keyword boxes. They allow you to add up to forty-nine characters. A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into the top search box on Amazon to find a specific journal or planner... You need to focus on specific long-tail keywords. Instead of a broad, short-tail keyword, you might enter 365 Prompts Journal (a specific long-tail keyword). You can research these using a keyword research tool like Google Keyword Planner Tool, hire an expert in KDP categories and keywords, or simply search for them manually by yourself. Look for keywords that give you only a few results, not thousands, to beat your competition. 3. Choose Extra Categories Amazon KDP has preset categories for books, and it’s hard to choose the best one for your work. When you upload your journal or planner interior, you can select two Amazon categories. Your book might fit into multiple categories.

Purchase a High-Quality Designed Cover The first thing that Amazon visitors see is your book’s cover. A high quality cover can make a big difference and impact your sales numbers.

There are a ton of elements that impact whether a book cover is engaging. Various classifications have different expectations. A basic cover does not take into account genre trends and expectations. A nonfiction book should not look like a kid's activity book or vice versa. Unless you’re an experienced graphic designer, avoid using tools offered by Amazon. Find an experienced designer who is familiar with your theme and check their portfolio. Try to reach out to other authors for recommendations, or browse Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find a freelance designer who works with other authors. 5. Emphasize covers and interior design. The quickest way to a one-star review is an ugly book cover or interior. When your print book format is a mess, Amazon's visitors will move on to the next competitor. Don’t gloss over this step.

Use your Amazon affiliate link on social media, website links, and anywhere else you can think of. Your amazon affiliate link allows you to earn additional 4% on the selling price of your book.

Question: What’s the one thing you want to do before your time is through? Note: The universal unchanging fact is that the human is not eternal. Through our legacy, we can make impacts long after we are gone, however we have limited time to do craft that legacy and have to share that time with trying to find happiness and balance. We often spend out entire lives waiting for something amazing to happen, or perhaps making goals too large that seem unachievable and thus inspire no action. Ladders are easier to climb when the steps aren’t so far out of reach. Minimize your goals to maximize your climb. 📔 The Climb Journal is available now on Amazon.com - Link in Bio. #mentalhealth #stressmanagement #getmylifeback #recoveryhelp #minimalism #minimalismjournal #anxietyjournal #depressionjournal #depression #anxiety #socialanxiety #psychology #dailyjournal #guidedjournal #mentorship #dailydiary #mentalwellness #mindfulness #goodreads #depressionhelp #depressionmemes #anxietymemes #motivationalquotes #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CVA9FJFFEUe/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the outside, you see: showered, dressed, freshly brushed teeth. Here’s the thing. I’ve been stumbling through the past couple of years of grad school in the unpredictable and impervious current of depression. I have managed my way through. I’ve stood upright at least once every day. I take my medication with food. I reach out to friends and family sometimes. sometimes. I see my therapist. On the days I want to hide away and bury my head in my cat’s soft, warm tummy, I push myself to walk the 20 feet to the mailbox across the driveway. Other days I run my 3.2 mile route to Meridian and bounce back on the Interurban Trail. Sometimes I force smiles at passersby. Sometimes the smiles are spontaneous. Surprises. they’re real. Felt. This dichotomous existence of depressed and ‘un-depressed’ - it’s exhausting. It’s distracting. Its splindle-y fingers like to play with my hair. and tie knots in my clothes. Some days I stick my tongue out at depression. And then. again. I find myself at the edge of its undertow. Grabbing my tongue from choking my throat. Clenching my neck from tearing away. In my head, my mush-of-a-brain swirls and squishes out thoughts. black sticky thoughts that barely convince me that I’m not whole and I can’t be. that I’m broken and bruise easily. that I’m not worth the wait and it’s easier to cut loose. that I’m not meant for this world. and it’s not meant for me. it’s not my oyster. it’s not my playground. it’s not my anything. And in my head, where these wicked mumblings meander through mush. I tap it on the shoulder. scream in its ear. and I say what I always say, “Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up!Shut the fuck up!” “You’re not winning.” We’ve had this conversation before.

You know that you are fighting back against something when all you do all day is try to understand it. I'm constantly searching for the reason behind my melancholia. I've read every book I could get my hands on and looked at all these diagrams of the brain to understand how my brain physically and chemically resist my need for happiness. Now I have moved on to DNA and the molecular level of depression and it's effects on our physical being. 

Honestly, Id rather have cancer. Knowing that MDD is hurting me and I can't find treatment or have it removed is daunting. The task of living is the toughest challenge. Sometimes I think that the only reason to go on with all of this is because I have something to say about it, and I feel the need to make people understand. It is challenging to "get" something so metaphysical and elusive. I feel for those who are going through this with me. After all, there are only 9% of us trying to make sense of our lives and battling the constant feeling of nothingness. I know my life hasn't been the best thing in the world but it didn't make me this way. I struggle through the day and look forward to the 6-8 hours of a day which I am dead to the world. I wish I was tired now.
