Weekends

[Senior70]

Saturday night is such a lonely time, I think too much about what could-should have been. And then there is Sunday: the longest most boring day ever. Stuck and too depressed to care.

Get out and see the world and meet new people

Gee, never thought of that....if it was not for this 10 ton weight I carry called depression, I might do that.

I understand what your saying.

Weekends can be difficult, to much time to over think things.

Hang in there

Strange choice if words. Thanks for responding and caring

Obously we all have different feelings, and experience with everything.

I just know I sometimes dread weekends, for various reasons... the thoughts of what I could or should be doing... feeling like the time just drags by.. I feel like I have more time to focus on the fear and negative thoughts...

It seems like I’m forgetting to do something important, but I’m not. Time does drag and I get stuck in pondering past decisions, what ifs. Then I can’t sleep.

[Timmypliskin in reply to Senior70]

Exactly.... the long list of what ifs

Hi I understand what you are saying but there is no point in living in the past as you can't change it. You have to learn to accept it and move on. The important thing is to learn from past mistakes and vow never to repeat them.

Once you start looking forward more your depression will start to recede a bit. If you can't do this on your own how about some counselling? x

I have weekends where I just can’t get out of bed. What I like to do when I’m stuck is read classics books or educational reads like biographies and stuff. I also try to watch historical or educational movies on Netflix. It makes me feel like I’m training my brain (albeit from bed). Hope that helps
