Gray day...

[Sarah_brarian]

I wouldn't consider myself someone with depression but the past few weeks, my anxiety has been so bad, that today everything just came to a head. I feel exhausted and discouraged. My usual sunny disposition is rather gray today. Does anyone else have days like this?

[Kayley12345]

I'm currently feeling the same, these past couple of months, I try my best to be positive but then I always end up having negative thoughts about what's going on with me then I feel depressed and then my anxiety will kick in x

I wish you the best add well then! 🙂

They say that anxiety and depression are linked together. Wish for you better days!

They defo are.

Oh yeah, it happens to me too. I’ve actually felt that way the past couple of days. I hope that your sun comes back soon! 🤗🤗🤗

Yes, it is very normal to feel down, blue or nervous once in a while. No one is always happy go lucky everyday all year round. I am sure you will be back feeling yourself within a few days or even another week. Hang in there, your fine.

What if you are anxious every day. Not all of the day, but regularly feeling anxious. And, whilst depression also follows: why?

[Walden80]

I feel the same way too with my anxiety. Sometimes I just want to withdraw and hide.

I’ve found that by working out, interacting with strangers/friends, and being creative, I create a “win” (does that make sense?!?) and then I use that little victory to move forward.

Some days are definitely easier than others.

[Sarah_brarian in reply to Walden80]

I'd never thought of it that way. A "win" could really do me good. I appreciate your advice!

[Blueshirt in reply to Sarah_brarian]

Good luck.

[Blueshirt in reply to Walden80]

Good strategy. Sadly I dont likecpeople.

[Claire51 in reply to Blueshirt]

Not liking People is not a must in creating a Positive from the Negativity, your feeling there are loads of ways to amuse yourself at home , keep yourself busy so the black dog stays away, find a hobby , i have taken up drawing, making clay models using air dry clay, and there is always something in the Home that can do with a fresh coat of paint, or small DIY jobs , and if you mess it up who cares only you will see it, and can change it. Just find something to find a sense of achievement. Good Luck xxx

[Blueshirt in reply to Claire51]

Thank you. Your positive thoughts are thoughtful and helpful. I’ll give it a go.

[Flyingonasong]

Yes

I am usually very resillient but if I have high anxiety levels for too long without a break I crash. Mood and energy levels go to 0. I think its a case of running out of adrenalin when I've over done it. I usually take as I sign I need to rest for a day and do some self care till my mood comes back up again.

Good luck. X x Hope you feel better soon x x x

[Blueshirt]

Yep. So I understand what you say. It’s terribke being scared. Being anxious.
