Feeling depressed and overwhelmed can make even ordinary tasks feel impossible. This page explains common causes, signs that you may need help, and practical steps you can take in Pakistan.
I’m sorry you’re feeling depressed and overwhelmed. Your message seems to have cut off, but you don’t need to explain everything at once.
For this moment, sit somewhere safe, put both feet on the floor, and take five slow breaths. Then write down just one thing that feels heaviest right now. If you might hurt yourself or cannot stay safe, go to the nearest emergency service and stay with someone you trust.
What has been going on, and how long has it felt like this? You can carry on with us in chat, and we can talk through it together.
