I Need a Sedative

I am tired of being sad. I want to stop being sad for just 5 minutes. I think I am dying of melancholy. Nothing is worth anything. Life is terrible.

Some days are like that. I just go to bed early and tomorrow is usually better. Hope you feel better.

Yes, like Marysblue says, sometimes it's just a bad day. You still wanna try again the next. That's what I do. Hugs

Ug. I’ve been there - these feelings are agony. Please know - they are temporary (my worst episode lasted a few months but did eventually lift with a change in medication). I have 2 pieces of advice - 1. call your doctor or psychiatrist if you have one (DoctorOnDemand is a great resource) and 2. Just focus on getting through today. Don’t worry about tomorrow - we don’t actually know how we will feel when we wake up.

Even doing something simple like brushing your teeth or taking a shower can help you focus on today.

Sending you support and encouragement!

I truly hope the next day was better. And I hope tomorrow is better than that. Sending good vibes.

Perhaps go outside for a while for a walk. Practice smiling even if you don't want to. :-)
