Sounds like you’re in a bad place.

I have a checklist I use to try and keep my mental health strong. The idea isn’t that you get a perfect score on this checklist, but that you ask yourself “what’s the easiest way to improve my score in this checklist at the moment?”

- Did you get a good night's sleep last night?

- Do you see your friends often enough?

- Do you have any enjoyable hobbies?

- Do you exercise or get moving every day?

- Do you have close, enjoyable relationships?

- Do you avoid abusing substances like alcohol or other drugs?

- Do you relax and take slow out breaths? (Or meditate)

- Do you do things for other people?

- Do you have any awesome pets?

Write up about it is here: http://wiki.secretgeek.net/protective-factors-for-mental-hea...

Good luck. Sorry I’m not a professional.
