Unshakable Mood

[Shadowofme]

I have been really down in the dumps lately and I’m not sure what to do. Like right now is my favorite part of the year and usually I am gushing with joy but this year not so much. Nothing has changed recently to put a damper on my mood and it sort of feels like it came on all of a sudden and that I’m stuck under a dark cloud. I hate being in such a bad mood all the time. And I’ve lost my appetite and desire to do anything I don’t have to do. It also annoys me that I’m sad because of my birthday and the holidays coming up. None of my medications have changed and I actually thought I was getting better and doing better but lately not so much.

I know what's changed. This year has been stressful and very depressing for all of us. Please don't be hard on yourself.🙂 Everyone has an excuse for feeling bad (and that is multiplied multiple times over for this year).

I agree!

Try not to be so hard on yourself. We put so much pressure to feel better, be happier, etc. I know how it feels to lose interest in the things that you enjoy and to feel down all the time. If you can find one thing that makes you smile, it is progress. Just because you don't feel good now doesn't mean you arent getting better or doing better. We all have our off times....go easy on yourself. You deserve it.
