Too many tears

I get sad out of no where so much and I’m on medication but it doesn’t work that well I guess does anyone have any suggestions on methods to reduce the thoughts or be distracted

Hi! So sorry you’re feeling this way. I tend to listen to music when the thoughts take over. It helps me out enough to calm me down. Or you can read a book or write your feeling or thoughts down. Hope this helps

I’m feeling kind of sad and low tonight too. I watch The Office and it sucks me in. Maybe you need to change medications if you’ve been on this one for a while. You can write positive thoughts down. I’m from the U.S and sometimes I play a game and try to write down all 50 states. I also play trivia or take fun quizzes online. They’re just small things to keep your mind distracted. I hope you feel better! If you need to talk I’m here 🤗

Thanks those sound good I’m glad there’s people I don’t even know very well who care

I read a lot so that distracts me and when I start having negative thoughts I try to think of something else. Sorry, no great answers.

Hi, I'm sorry you're feeling down. Do you have anyone to talk to about what you're going through? I'm glad you're taking meds to help you handle your sadness. It's not a quick fix, but there are different things you can do to manage your sadness. You can read about depression so that you can better manage it bit.ly/2DyAUoQ

When I struggled with depression and anxiety, I forced myself to attend a local church small group on a regular basis. It wasn't easy! But slowly, as I got involved with other people in the group, it helped me to take my eyes off my own issues. Perhaps you can find some kind of an organization or group you can get involved with in your community that will help distract you?

hugs
