I just spent half an hour writing my new- member post and at the end it asked me who I wanted to be able to see it and I hit the "i" and couldn't get back to my msg.
So now I'm going to condense it to "I'm too depressed to go out or take good care of myself and I have this ongoing anxiety that frequently prevents me from even making phone calls."
Welcome!
may I ask you what you have done so far in dealing with your depression, have you done the therapy thing to get a proper diagnosis, and are you on meds. Have you tried alternative ways to manage and cope with your depression.
And if your gonna do posts here, sometimes this site's servers are hinky and that happens to a lot of us, our message freezes, or you hit one key and it disappears...I use 'Word' to write and then cut an paste any posts, had lost too many messages before...
Thanks for the heads up! 💐
I had another reply answering yr Q's but IT DISAPPEARED!
can I say it for you ...ahhhhhh!!!... I know...had it happen many times with this app.
I can't stand talking on the phone. I would just like to stick to email and text messages. I too have issues with taking care of myself and going out. I'd rather stay at home and sleep.
But I know part of that is my depression speaking.
You can't let it control you. You have to make yourself do things even if it is just a short shopping trip to the grocery store. Or dinner with your child/friend/partner/family member (etc.). Maybe read a book or go something you like. One good experience at a time can help relieve some of the bad feelings. And finding people to talk to (like this forum) will give you support along the way.
Hold your head up and be ready to tackle anything. I know it's hard but start with one thing at a time.
UGH! How frustrating! Technology. I'm so glad that you still decided to reach out to us! I think to encourage you, it would help to know what your day looks like? Like fauxartist has already asked, what are you trying that seems to not help? When I am really down, I try to remember that I'll have an up day soon. I need to hang in there and know that although I can't help my feelings, I can do something about the ways that I think and my behaviors to improve my situation. I would highly recommend counseling if that's something available to you. For this moment right now, is there something you could do that would be positive? Listening to music? Getting out of the house for a walk? Hope your day improves!
I get the phone call thing.. I hate phones.
I just wrote another reply and again it disappeared. AGGGGHHH!
I don't use the app I just log onto the website, most of the time the reply doesn't disappear 😂
