Sorry for the delay. Still there?

Do you know what is triggering it. If you can journal about what your feeling so to not stuff it. I'm good at stuffing things. Blessings

[BunkyW in reply to Kamp2020]

Thanks.

Hang in there BunkyW....this is also what I am also telling myself as my anxiety has spiked due to a new health issue. Kind prayers and gentle thoughts are sent to you.

I called a few hotlines today looking for phone help and it helped me so much. I went from crippled in crying to having a medium plan. I even got out of bed and did the things they planned with me-almost all of it anyway.

[uptheenergy in reply to uptheenergy]

Just saying having a chat with them is a pretty good start when you have nothing else to help.

[BunkyW in reply to uptheenergy]

Thanks.

[BunkyW in reply to uptheenergy]

It's been a very hard year for all of us and even those who have never suffered depression before have known it. Get help and remember you are not alone,a lot of us are feeling the same but hopefully it won't last. Please get help for this.

One day at a time!!

You will be okay! You’re not alone, I feel so depressed as well. Any reason though for you?

Sending you much love ❤️

[BunkyW in reply to FearIsALiar]

Thanks. I see that you’ve experienced the loss of a relationship, too. I’ll confess to you that my lost relationship was one of infidelity in that I’m married. I went back and forth numerous times on whether to end it. It’s been 10 ten days. I’m fighting hard not to contact her. The depression is horrific. Any advice?

[FearIsALiar in reply to BunkyW]

Oh wow..I’m so sorry. Breakups are difficult but you can definitely get through it. My advice to you is to not give up and do NOT go back to something that hurt you. You will not find healing in toxic environment or a place that hurt you. Contacting them is only going to delay your healing. I’m on day 2 and it hurts so much. But I know I had to end the relationship because it was no good for me. I was holding onto hope but I knew he wouldn’t change. You made a very brave choice of ending the relationship. I’m proud of you!

If you need someone to reach out to please PM me! I’m here for you. Everytime you want to message them just vent to me I hope I can be a help.

I’m feeling low aswell doesn’t help this lockdown

My counselor said that I have had a lot of losses this year and that I should make a point of doing things that I enjoy. This worked for me. The counselor also said that it usually takes about the same amount of time the depression has been going on for it to go away.

I also get a lot out of Mindfulness.

Hang in there BunkyW.
