I feel down and depressed lately, rly tired too, and i overthink about the smallest things, and i seem to have pains in my left chest whenever i feel down
Hi @user5608 thank you for sharing how you’re feeling. That takes a lot of courage, and I want to acknowledge just how hard it must be to carry all of this at once.
Feeling down, emotionally drained, and stuck in cycles of overthinking can be incredibly exhausting. It’s no wonder you’re feeling tired, your mind and body are working so hard just to keep going. And when we feel overwhelmed like this, it’s not uncommon for those emotions to show up in our bodies too, like the chest pain you mentioned. That kind of discomfort can feel scary, especially when you’re already in a vulnerable place.
Please know that your feelings are valid. You’re not alone in this, even if it sometimes feels like it. What you’re going through doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’ve been strong for a long time, and it’s okay to feel worn out.
You don’t have to fix everything right away. Just taking small steps to care for yourself, like reaching out, talking to someone you trust, or checking in with a professional, can be an important start. You deserve to feel better, and you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m really glad you shared this. Your wellbeing truly matters.
Hey @user5608. That sounds rough. Being stuck in that mix of low mood, tiredness and overthinking can wear you out. Sometimes our bodies carry the stress of what’s on our mind. I’ve had times where stress weighed so heavy that my body reacted too. You’re not alone in that, okay? And, I want to acknowledge you for reaching out here.
The chest pain sounds concerning though, and I’d gently encourage you to see a doctor about it. Sometimes our bodies react strongly to stress, but it’s always best to be safe.
Would you like to share more about what’s been weighing on you? Sometimes putting words to it, naming it, can really help lighten the load.
Also, I’m curious, when things start to feel overwhelming, what are the small ways you usually cope or comfort yourself?
Please be kind to yourself as you go through this. One step, one breath at a time is more than enough. You’re not alone in this 
Thank you for sharing how you are feeling, it sounds really tough to be carrying so much heaviness while also feeling tired and overthinking about the little things. The chest pain you mentioned must be worrying too, and it shows how much stress your mind and body are under right now. Please know that you do not have to face this alone, and reaching out for support is a really brave step. It may help to give yourself small pockets of rest and kindness, and to talk to someone you trust or a professional who can walk with you through this. You deserve care, comfort, and relief, and taking the first step to share this is already a meaningful start.
Hey @user5608 ,
Thank you for sharing what you’re feeling. It sounds like you’re going through a rough time, and it must not have been easy going through each day while feeling all these difficult feelings. I would like to start off by saying it takes a lot of courage to be so vulnerable and reach out on this platform, and you’re very strong for doing so 
I hear that whenever you’re feeling down, you would feel pain in your left chest. Sometimes when our mood is low or when we feel a lot of stress, physical symptoms do manifest. At times, for me, I do feel shortness of breath. Know you’re not alone in this 
However, to be on the safe side, as @ScribblingSunflower suggested, maybe seeing a doctor to get that checked up would be better to ensure that there is no underlying condition. Would you be ok to do so?
For your feelings, if you’re comfortable, would you be open to sharing more on what’s causing to feel down and depressed? What are some of the things do you overthink about?
Know that whatever you’re feeling is real and valid, and you deserve support and kindness too! We are here for you
Dear @user5608
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you are going through. I gather these feelings of depression and tiredness have started recently and understandably that is distressing.
May I gently check when you started noticing these feelings? If possible, jot down thoughts or observe if there is something triggering these feelings.
For example are you facing some changes at work, school or in the family which is affecting you.
When you described you were overthinking, I want to share my observation that it is common when we are tired or stressed. Our mind tends to generate non stop negative thoughts/ explanations/ theories to explain what is going on around us.
May I suggest you consider taking regular breaks to recharge and ground yourself. Mindfulness practice also helps us to differentiate thoughts from the truth and can give us the space to choose our response rather than react to what’s happening.
The pain that you described may warrant a visit to a medical professional to check it out. However it could also be related to the tiredness and depression you are experiencing, so I encourage you to address these too. You may want to consider seeking help from a counsellor to process what’s happening, learn techniques to manage unhelpful thoughts and healthy coping strategies. Take small steps soon towards what you want and over time I believe you can improve your wellbeing and mental health.
