anxiety and depression

[Nathan1993]

hey, so this morning I had a bit of a bad start to the day, I was pretty snappy and felt like crying for a few hours as well as my surroundings felt a little fuzzy. I know these are typical symptoms but i'm wondering If anyone has been through this and have gotten over it as I feel like i'm always going to be like this

I take it today is a bad day!?

how often do you feel like this?

yes I've felt really emotional and exhausted before where i just burst out crying, at home, in work, you name it, and i can feel a tad disorientated too etc. I tend to go through different waves and patterns of intensities.

Yeah today is a pretty bad day, I was supposed to meet a couple of friends but I cancelled because of the way i'm feeling but they understand, the good days definitely overweigh the bad days, I think it's been about 10 days since I last felt like this.

Yeah I've done the whole cancelling before. Its been a really long time since i have though...i think that's because i can tell beforehand these days. I recognise my behaviours etc and know when best not to make plans. Really good you have friends who understand. Thats rare. Then again, i guess it cant be helped if plans are made far in advance lol. So have you re-scheduled?

Yeah my friends are great like that, as crap as i felt i ended up going out and having a good time, i think i tend to focus more on how i feel at the time then in a different situation (like going out or going for a meal etc), well there's a pub down town which does a quiz every sunday and we've been going to it every week for the past month so it's no big deal if i miss a week we go most of the time anyway so reacheduling wouldn't have been a problem
