Feeling Dark-DONT CARE 😩

[Want2BHappy3]

Been SO sleep deprived and eating non stop till I get Sick. I don’t like being in my SKIN. Trying to get myself into the Holidays. I’ll be spending Thanksgiving Alone. I’ve been trying to get out of this Dark Hole 🕳. Feeling overwhelmed. 😞😷🙏

You've been under an extreme amount of stress just lately things are bound to make you feel like this noone should have to spend holidays by themselves but with the world and the pandemic I think we are all gonna be like this too 😔 take care

Thanks for your support, I understand what you’re saying. It’s Harder when you have Depression. I have no one to talk to. I live in the USA our elections are coming. This could be life changing for us? Things could get WORSE? Our country is in a whole lot of TROUBLE🙏🇺🇸 I want to Escape, don’t know How?

I know it’s easy saying but try to think positive, when I get really down I get a notepad and write all the positive things about myself and my life. I exercise more and eat healthier, these both have a great affect on my mood. I put a box set on and do some cross stitching or a puzzle book. I know what you mean about being alone, I’ve had loneliness before and it’s tough, best wishes and sending hugs xx

Thanks you for being supportive, you’re right it is difficult. I don’t even have the Energy to cook. I eat sandwiches in my room most times Or just live on Snacks. Then there have been times where I’ve eaten a boiled egg and a cup of V8 in a whole week and have dropped about 40 pounds in a couple of months. My doctor got concerned about that having been put under anesthesia to do a upper GI scope. I tired to tell him it was due to my anxiety/depression. Still insisted I do the test. I’ll get the results today? So we’ll See? 🙏😷

I hope he also is going to do a colonoscopy and labs..?Do you have any friends, family? Are you on meds for depression?

I’m in the states and I have heightened anxiety and depression over this upcoming election..that’s saying the least..I’m terrified..

I get on my bike everyday and ride some of these dark feelings away. They are never gone but it’s been somewhat manageable.. Go out for a walk everyday even if you don’t feel like it, just drag yourself out..

What does your Dr. say? I feel great sadness for you.

I would encourage you to speak with your care provider, therapist or licensed counselor as soon as possible. Plesse letbthem know abouf your sleep ans how food has been a comfort to you.

There is a lot going on in our world these days.

Not sure if any of this would be helpful to you: list.ly/list/42eu-weatherin....

Hope that helps.

Sorry you are feeling so down! Have you considered counseling?? Christian counseling helped me get out of my "hole". It gave me a safe place to vent, cry, get in touch with smy true feelings, and then develop new strategies to deal with my losses. I learned to be "real", talk and not dwell on my problems, and mostly trust God. It took a long time, but I am on the road to recovery.

Would you consider counseling??

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to SuZQ154]

Thanks Su for your support, Iam in counseling he calls every week. I need medication, the doctor I had cut me off because I wouldn’t take the medication he prescribed, I didn’t take it because I heard bad things about it. Even my primary doctor said No without hesitation. So I have an appointment with a new one Nov 12. My counselor said he was a good guy , so we’ll See. 🙏

This all sounds good! Please keep us posted how it goes!

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to SuZQ154]

I will thanks 😷🙏

[SuZQ154 in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Just touching base. How did your counseling session go?

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to SuZQ154]

Thanks for asking, it went ok, This May sound Selfish? I felt he wasn’t there emotionally enough for me? I didn’t hear from him almost going into the third week without hearing from him. We been having weekly talks suddenly we aren’t? He mentioned that he’s been busy because of the virus, I’m suppose to have 45 min sessions with him, I’ve been timing them at barely 30 minutes. I told him waiting almost 3 weeks is too long a wait, I began to feel anxious and angry. Trying to keep my thoughts to myself. How are You? 😷🙏

[SuZQ154 in reply to Want2BHappy3]

That would upset me too. In the past, I changed from a secular counselor to a Christian one. It was a good move for me. Have you considered another counselor?

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to SuZQ154]

Not yet, if I keep feeling this way I’ll consider it? I’ve already been though several, thought He was the ONE? I’m glad you found Christen Counseling was for You 🙏😷
