Lost

[Depressedmommy21]

Lately I’ve been doing so good controlling my anxiety/depression but today is one of the days where I’m a wreck I literally haven’t moved out of my bed I haven’t really experienced suicidal thoughts but this time I have and I don’t know what to do

Well opening up about it here is a start. Something is working in that psyche of yours!

You have to go against your intuition. Which is probably telling you to lay in bed. I had that problem for the first time in a long time one day this week.... if ALL you can manage to do is bring a chair into the shower and sit there in the water DO IT. And use that time for positive self talk. Take baby steps. If you think you can take a walk to the end of the driveway, try. You don’t need to beat depression all in one day but understand that in every other situation it’s ok to trust your gut, EXCEPT this instance. Your gut is going to lead you in the wrong direction. You have to watch funny movies when you want to lay in the dark and cook when you don’t want to eat even if it means crying while you do it. I know it’s hard but you can do this! You are resilient and valuable. One day you’ll look back and be so grateful for these experiences and grateful to have powered through. I got by watching motivational speakers on YouTube over and over on those days. Rewire your brain and feed it positivity every time you feel negativity, just like they say smiling when you are sad can fool your brain and make you happier.

Also be sure that you’re getting good nutrition and vitamins. Lots of fruit and greens and healthy sources of vitamin d.

I’m recovered from an eating disorder and depression that took 10 years of my life and now I’m a full time student and working towards a wonderful future for myself and my daughter and I look back on my mental health battles and I am grateful to have recovered and learned a lot about myself from those experiences.

I hate it when I’ve had a good day and then I have a bad day again.
