So numb

I can’t seem to find pleasure in anything. I can’t think about a future with all this depressing news. Working from home. Starting to hate my job. I’m feeling hopeless today.

Do you have any hobbies are activities that make you happy? Any nostalgic shows/movies/music? DIY project? Rearrange your home? A self care spa day?

I don’t have the energy to do any of the things I like to do. Hopefully my increase in antidepressant dose will kick in soon so that I have the necessary energy. Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate.

I feel the same way

Thank you. Have you tried ativan or Xanax to calm you down. My doctor started me on one and a half milligrams of Ativan. I just took one now. Seems to be calming me.

I had lorezapam to calm me down one time when I went to the ER because of a bad panic attack. It helped a lot but i’m starting to stick to more natural stuff now. I’m off medication (I still feel the same without it) but I take these Olly Stress Away gummies and they seem to help :) It has GABA, L Theanine and Lemon Balm in it. I haven’t been taking them every day but I’m thinking I should start because it could help me. There’s no shame in taking anti depressants though! I just prefer something natural.

Oh you should definitely take them more often if they work for you. GABA calms you
