Sometimes when I’m not extremely depressed I just exist at this mild to moderate like “low grade” sadness. Does that make sense to anyone?
Sometimes it feels even more miserable. Is this “normal me”? Is this as good as it gets?
Sometimes I feel so angry that this is the best I can hope for. I’m so tired. Sometimes I still feel so hopeless when this what “feeling better” feels like
I’m not sure what else to do.
I feel like this too and I don’t know why. I’m sorry you’re feeling sad and I wish I had a good answer.
Hi there. Misery and sadness are self created as are joyfulness and good reverberations ...it is just that when we train and practice something a lot, gess what? We become good at it. I was in your exact situation until last year when I found in the internet people like Sadhguru, Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton and opened my eyes that I understood I was so wrong feeling sad bc it was me creating all that stuff. Hope this will help and if it does, is going to be quick. Watch just a few of their videos and think about it. Also check info on the Reticular Activating System we all have and how to handle it. It will keep you busy rewiring you psychological structure you will never think of sadness again. Wish you good.
I’m glad you feel better and have found something that helps you. You need to rethink what you say here. If you are here to make people feel guilty for feelings they have because of a chemical imbalance and mental illness, then kindly don’t comment on people’s posts. It is not a choice. I’m glad it is for you, but you have no idea how much other people do all of the “right” things like exercise, go to counseling, etc. and would do anything to feel better. This forum is not for people to make others feel badly. I hope you don’t post this on anyone else’s post and find a different outlet. I would feel awful if you made someone else going through a hard time feel like they had brought this on themselves. That’s all, but please think more and be kinder and more mindful of others.
Rethinking, yes. ..."This forum is not for people to make others feel badly."
Oh yes it makes perfect sense as this is how I live too. I will say that if you have been extremely depressed in the past it is an improvement to feel like this though it probably doesn't feel like this. Carry on with your therapy (I presume you are having this?) and maybe meds too and hopefully it will improve further.
My depression is thankfully mainly mild but I do get very nasty flare ups which cause me to more actively think of suicide. I counter this when I am feeling better to spend more time with friends and doing things I enjoy. Then when I am feeling bad I look back on it knowing I will feel a bit better again in the future.
Many years ago I faced a major crisis where I decided I had a stark choice - either to end my life now and be done with it. Or to do everything in my power to change my life and try and seek out things I enjoy. I learnt to focus outwards more rather than inwards and I remind myself of my promise to myself. It is a long journey though so persist and do what you can improve your life. x
Think of happy events and accomplishments when these sad times come over you. Reject the sadness and replace it with positive statements and people . It is a struggle , but remember that you are a precious creation and deserve all good things. Sending positice energy.
