Depressed like always

[XoxoFaith]

Another day of feeling depressed just home not feeling like nothing I hate it I just feel so guilty for not being able to feel good to do things with my daughters Monday I go back to work and that just makes me feel more depressed and anxious

Hi Xoxo33, I usually don't reply to depression since I can't relate to it. However, what came to mind was something I read on your posts 4 months ago. That walking (even though depressed) helped you feel better. That might be a goal for today with your children ending up at an Ice Cream place. I know the kids will enjoy it and maybe you too as you take in the experience of the cold ice cream on the roof of your mouth. There are so many nerve endings in the mouth and sinus area leading to your brain that maybe it can bring you into a good moment even for just a while

If the weather is too hot...I would suggest letting the kids (and you) have an arts and craft

afternoon. The satisfaction and calming effect in creating something can lift your spirits.

Wish you a better day my friend. xx

Thank you so much for your words and suggestions I haven’t been on walks lately I just find it so hard to get out of bed because Iam like what’s the point if every day is the same thing

The piece that makes it a hundred times worse for us is the guilt around not being able to feel good. It’s like pouring pure rubbing alcohol into an open wound.....it doesn’t help heal the wound and it hurts like hell. So let’s both agree to leave the alcohol on the shelf. Ok?

I hear you. I’m so sorry. I’m depressed right now and I know fir me it will lift and I hope for you too. It’s tough I know. I keep trying and trying and feeling a little defeated at times but as long as we don’t give up we have the hope of feeling better.

I hear you. It happens and it’s ok do what you can and take good care of yourself.
