I am filled with sadness. Looking for ways to get out of it. I take walks, I work full time, take care of my house... but I feel so sad! I think I lost myself, cannot tell who I am anymore, or I am not who I used to be and I am having a hard time embracing the new me.
Appreciate any helpful thoughts.
Wishing you all a happy day!
Im sorry you are struggling with sadness. I am in a similar place. Finding it hard to keep moving forward
When I feel like that it really helps me to dustract myself with things I like, like funny videos, good music and laughing with family. Is there anyone you could talk to about your feelings? Maybe a therapist could help you figure out what's happening and how to move forward ❤️ Perhaps it's time to create a new you?
My therapist taught me when feeling depressed do the opposite of what I am feeling! So when I want to lay in bed all day she says get up and go for a walk! Get your body moving
I've felt like that, just going through the motions not really enjoying anything. When I feel down I do the one thing that I actually do enjoy, which is watching anime shows. Is there any hobby or activity that you get some joy out of? Or maybe it's time to find a new hobby? I actually learn a lot about myself when I'm doing things I like and that helps me when I talk to my therapist because we explore what I've observed, which helps me to understand who I am.
What has also helped me is that about 3 months ago I started an antidepressant. I wasn't to keen on taking meds because I didn't want to deal with side effects, but I was crying almost everyday so I decided to give them a shot. I've felt so much more happy since starting. My increase in happiness was the first benefit I felt, it was scary at first because I'm not used to being genuinely happy, but I've gotten a bit more used to it. My depression isn't cured, but it just takes some of the doom and gloom away.
I hope you find something that helps take the sadness away!
This may seem strange but maybe humor me. Do you have good memories and if yes, what was good about them?
Lunastriste, whenever I get feeling sad or get feeling like "what's the point?" I have found that looking for someone to help, with anything, makes me feel better. But maybe I'm different in that it makes me feel better to help someone else feel better. It might be worth a try.
I find that since I started to do yoga and eat better I've been feeling a little better. I suffer from heavy depression. I swear of I sisnt have the world's funniest and encouraging kids ever I'd feel I was in a slump 24/7. My medication helps too. But I think Covid lasting as long as it has isn't helping either. Its depressing when you cant see everyone you're so used to seeing and going out and doing things you used to all the time. I find video chatting has me a bit with that, but it isn't the same.
I wish that I could send comfort and joy to all of you as I try to find some for myself. I feel very out of place in my own world. Today I am having a cup of coffee, writing on this board and looking for an ancient church service on Youtube. I am hoping to find consolation in some old rituals and I know that sounds crazy but hey! I am... That is not to say that I am religious, and certainly not modern religious as it today, I am just going to try and tap into something else a little more of some sort of human flow. Just writing to you about myself has helped me feel less alone or "wrong". I hope that posting and getting a few replys is a tiny comfort to you.
