So depressed

[formidible]

I feel so depressed right now. Very low mornings are not getting any better. I had another counseling session yesterday but it's not really made me feel much better. Digging up the past just seems to be making things worse. I don't know. My GP has referred me back to MH but it will be a few weeks before I hear. I feel so lonely with it. I live on my own. If only I had someone to help me. I hate where I am living but have few options to move right now. I am dreading Christmas. I am normally a friendly and easy going person. It sometimes feels this site is a lifeline for me. Sorry for going on but I don't know what else I can do to feel better. The covid situation has made things so much worse. Does anyone else have low mornings? Any help appreciated.

If you see my latest post I completely understand my anxiety this morning is out of control.

Mornings are always a challenge. Remember most of us feel the same way. Helps to focus on the present. Accomplish one thing at a time. Then feel proud of yourself.. It will soon be lunch time. Then a nice nap. Late afternoons may be tough too, for me. Supper, then maybe feel a little better. Do you sleep well? I now take magnesium L-threonate. It really helps me sleep the whole night through without groggy in the morning, which is not what any of us need! I live alone too, so try to reach out to a different friend every day to keep connected to the world.

Thanks. I have the added issue of being on 10mg Diazepam daily. I take 5mg at night. I know I'd be better off these but it's so hard to reduce right now. I have Magnesium citrate tabs but someone else said they weren't that good if you're also taking Diazepam. I will look into magnesium L - Threonate also.

Hate when I wake up that feeling of dread, it can take a few hrs and lots of housework to try and rid myself of that rotten feeling

Mornings are horrible!!! When I wake up reality sets in and the depression and anxiety kick in. Try to stay in bed as long as I can, but finally force myself to get up.

Hello there, I’m grace and your post has really touched me. I agree covid has made mental illness 100x worse than it was before. I’m not sure how much help I can be, but I’m here if you ever need to vent or express yourself. I know it may not seem believable with how you are feeling, but there are many people around who would love to help you. You just have to find them, they are out there. My mom for instance is a caregiver who stopped working for this guy because she ended up getting a full time positive but she will stop by to drop off food and we will see him for his company and he too, also lives alone. He is much older than you, I can tell by your picture. My moms client is now in his 80s or early 90s.
