Regression rather than improvement

[GoForDeath]

Does anyone else have this problem where the longer you work on something you regress, rather than improve?

Yeah. My mental illnesses only got worse with medication and therapy. I don't have any control over my thoughts whatsoever

My situation sorta morphs from one bad place to another. Suicidal on off on off on off. Fed up of it. Now it's just the little things that bother me enough to want to CTB

I know the feeling oh too well, due to my mental illness I've had moments where I literally had no control over any of my thoughts, like I was being blocked from thinking.. it has been better tho, now my issues are different somewhat.

That seems very exhausting, I don't think I'd be able to handle these mental gymnastics either

Same as the others that commented. Definitely mental health, I have zero interest in making any further attempts toward normalcy. Definitely my physical health and appearance, zero care also. Any debt and bills I used to be on top of, zero care, f**k em. I've fallen behind and regressed in many aspects of my life. All things I used to be very responsible towards I no longer care about. I'm letting it all fall apart and comfortable doing so.

I'm feeling the same with my current job, I'm just letting it go as I'm just tired of fighting

Same here. I even feel more depressed after medication. And I don't like therapy, I have talked about the things happened in the past again and again.

I think it has to do with the effort you put into solving an issue. Putting more time and energy into something also increases your expectations by default. Higher expectations result into a higher risk of being let down – of course. So, the whole energy you used lashes back and hurts you in the end.

The only advice I can give on that is something I read in the book "The Pursuit of Unhappiness" by Paul Watzlawick. He mentioned that humans tend to just see one way of solving an issue and whenever we don't get further, we just put more energy into this one option. I can just encourage you to look at your problem from a different angle and try more than one problem-solving approach.

Shit you're right, I've been stuck in this one solution that I wanted to make work and completely ignored other solutions... But it's also not the only issue, the more I try to improve and change, the worst it seems to be..

This question is a bit vague. I do think though as the years go by I get more and more tired and that as humans get older the amount of problems and suffering increases. The thought of enduring this existence until old age is horrifying. The longer that I stay alive the worse that things will get. For me, suicide is better than any improvement, it's the solution to all of my problems.
Also I think that those who are trying to improve their life post in the recovery section. This is the suicide discussion, where I think that most people here just want to be gone.
