Feeling down today

[Coralrose5]

No real reason I guess, just part of the depression I get. It is a beautiful day but I feel so detached from it all. I hope I feel happy again one day.

I totally know this feeling Coral. It's a beautiful spring day here in Los Angeles. I've taken three walks. Because I'm not having a 'great day' mentally, I'm aware that I'm not quite connected to my surroundings. I guess that's when I should meditate... maybe I'll do a walking meditation later.

I hope so too, Coral.

I’m feeling the same way. It’s a beautiful day here in Arizona. Sunny, about 78 degrees, perfect really, but this anxiety and depression of mine has just got ahold of me. I long for the days when the simple pleasure of a beautiful day could make me happy.

I’m in San Jose California and it’s a lovely spring day but I feel nothing. 😐

With depression comes that "I don't know why I feel this way at times" But we also have a choice which can be hard to make when you feel that weight just weighing on you. I have learned to recite this mantra, "I am strong, I am smart and I am beautiful. I will take care of myself first." I don't know if it will help, but I will keep you in my thoughts.
