Feeling really down

[lights00]

I don’t seem to understand why I live on a roller coaster of good and bad days. More bad. I am so tired of feeling like this. Why in the world would God make me this way. Feeling very alone and depressed

[Iloveart7]

I'm sorry I are feeling this way. (((Hugs)))

I know how you feel, it's difficult but hopefully with the weather improving soon will give you hope. Don't give up. We all in same boat just different level of understanding and needs. We all are here to help one another.

Poor old God, He gets blamed for everything. lights00, it wasn't God that made you this way, with respect it was yourself. You let the worry and stress and disappointment and overwork grind you down. We've all done it, that's why we're here.

Soon fear enters the equation. Fear hormones start to play havoc with your nervous system. Everything seems ten times worse than it is. Many become obsessed with their health, minor symptoms (often the symptoms of anxiety disorder) are blown up into life threatening illnesses.

We go on doing it to ourselves month after month, year after year. The process is self perpetuating: fear causes muscular tension, strange ideas, bad feelings and other symptoms. This causes more fear which causes more symptoms and bad feelings which causes more fear. We become our own worse enemies.

There are solutions, opportunities to recover. They may include medications, talking therapies or reading self help books. Either in combination or singly these therapies can bring respite and recovery. It's up to us to find the recovery plan that works for us.

The point is: don't wait for others to fix things for us. We have to take the initiative to bring about the return of our quiet mind.

lights100, no need to feel alone, you have endless friends here waiting to help you. And they live in all time zones so they're always here when you want them. Just shout out when you need reassurance or information or a second opinion.

wow this just made my day jeff. everyone around me tells me this but I can't find my way out of negative thoughts until my back ache and things got worse. I went directly to my docotr seeking for help but I realized that it was only sleep that I need because positivity comes with in us. and we just need to brush off those negative thoughts. agood night sleep can usually help me go through out the day.

[Jeff1943 in reply to tinkerbel19]

What you say about the importance of sleep is absolutely true, we all economise on sleep. Big mistake. Thank you for drawing our attention to your experience regarding getting enough sleep.

Jeff1943. Thank you for your input. I have a chemical imbalance along with the major depression disorder. I don’t believe I did this to myself since this was passed down for generations.

[melantha in reply to lights00]

No one really knows exactly what causes a person to become depressed. It’s a combination of things: genetics, personality, life events, etc. but that’s not what’s important. What is important is that you recognize that you are depressed and take steps to try and overcome it (easier said than done I’ll admit). Hopefully you have talked to your doctor or are seeing a therapist?

And I know going through depression can make you feel very alone (it does for me too), but on here you’ll see that you are anything but alone in this. We are here for you

[Jeff1943 in reply to lights00]

I think about 50% of us inherit anxiety and/or depression. For example, my anxiety disorder started in Victorian times. But although we may never be entirely free of it we can still minimise the effect on our lives. Make the episodes less frequent and milder through understanding, reassurance and applying methods that have proved successful for others.

Hello, Trust me your NOT ALONE,. That comes with having anxiety, I'm alone most of the time. Friends and family can't handle being around us cause they want us to get over it? Not easy, don't beat yourself up over it, it out of your control. They say God doesn't give us more than we can handle.

I bet that God has a great reason for you to be here on earth... I bet you will one day discover it too. Sometimes the best heroes are the ones with the greatest difficulties at first. Everything will get better, trust me. All you got to do is believe, find answers, find the right help for you, and go from there...

[Gillyflower18]

I know a lot of us go through this. On the days I feel better I think maybe I’m getting somewhere only to have the next day spent yelling at God for how miserable I am. You are not alone! Hang in there.

[Jeff1943 in reply to Gillyflower18]

Those who believe shouldn't think God is a social worker. All prayers are answered but sometimes just not in the way we were expecting.

[pink318]
