Hi Lindsey14, I know exactly what you mean. I seemed to be doing great for a little bit and then boom! The figurative rug feels snatched out from under me. I missed an entire week of work last month. And I haven’t been to work this week and it’s Wednesday. Often when I can’t get out of bed, my daughter doesn’t make it to school either and I feel like an even bigger failure. I find myself only wanting to engage in things that make me feel better and “forget” there are real responsibilities I have to see to because remembering only makes my anxiety and depression worse. Mainly watching tv and YouTube videos, but I empathize more with drug users who are trying to escape their own demons. I take meds and am in therapy but these episodes really don’t care. They come when they want and I feel powerless to relieve them. I’m seriously afraid of how all this affects my daughter and my job. Know you are not alone and that you are in my thoughts. Perhaps we’ll both see a brighter day soon.

This is what I do... I just go into a world of distractions, I'm starting to think I have OCD because I promise myself I am going to get back on track then the next day I mess up again, like I will spend all day online doing nothing but distracting myself from what I need to be doing, and I can't stop myself , only I can do this for momths.

Do you have any assistance to get your daughter to school ? You might be as well tongetba support worker, because it would be more beneficial for her to be at school and not watching this, I don't mean to make you feel bad, it's just some friendly advice, I completely understand what your going through, it's like it's something that just takes over your functioning

I understand how you feel. It takes a lot of effort for me to live in the moment. I try not to replay the sorrows of my past and I try not to worry about the future. Its hard to do but the more I do it, the easier it becomes. When I think about the fact I can't change what has already happened and I can't really control what will happen tomorrow, it frees me up to enjoy the moment. I'm able to pray, meditate and clear my mind. Next thing you know, I am feeling much better and in the end everything always works out.
