Never Ending....

[angelanne0314]

Today my depression has been..... i just dont know how to put it in words.... ive been feeling so blah..... i dont want to do anything that i used to love doing. i have no motivation to do anything anymore. all i want to do is sleep all day long.

I know that feeling. That was essentially how I was yesterday (along with being really anxious). I feel as though recently I have enjoyed things that I used to love less and less....its tough.

I know how you feel. I don't look forward to things anymore because I don't want to do the things I used to enjoy. I have to force myself to do anything really.

see im going for a promotion at work and i just have this constant underlying feeling that everyone is more qualified for the position than i am. then theres the thought that maybe ill fail or mess up or something..... its just a bunch of stress and anxiety and depression and im not so sure how to handle it anymore

I don't know what to tell you except TRY not to think about it and use some kind of distraction. Hope you get the promotion though.

There are some days that it’s okay to lay in bed and not be okay. It’s okay to have those days. Put on something soothing either like rainforest sounds or a show you like. And just be.

Then the next day try to do ONE more thing than you did before. Baby steps. Think about one thing you could do that day that will make you happy. It could be brushing your teeth or taking a shower. Just one thing you can celebrate and say hey I did that! Then that’s it. You’ve accomplished what you wanted to that day. Then maybe the next day pick one more thing.

I’ve been severely depressed for 2 weeks now and what has gotten me out of it is distraction. I had to get out of my head because I was just hurting myself the more I thought. So try distraction.

I really hate that you feel this way. I’m sorry life has been so unkind. You didn’t ask for any of this but you can do this.

I hope something I said helped.

If not, take peace in knowing you’re not alone.
