Feeling empty again

[scoobydoo123]

So tired and empty feeling again. All i want to do is out my headphones on and hide.

I know how you feel. I often hide away in our spare room and put music on.

Depression hits us at different times. I usually just take time out or go to the gym for an hour, then I can carry on with life. There is so many pressures in todays society. I just have to live with my depression but keep it under control. I take meds. and ive done cbt which has helped. Just take life one day at a time.

Am just disappointed as i had a good couple of days. I think i have just done too much and need to recharge for a bit. The meds and counselling have both helped

Totally agree and feel same often! actually my headphones are the way I cope with hiding while moving within society especially shopping and doctor's appointments. I got hooked listening to old comedies on radio 4 extra on a personal digital radio I bought for the gym problem is because I am starting to laugh again after many many years I keep getting wicked stares and tuts when I am laughing for no reason in the middle of the local shop love and hugs in understanding xxx)))

Used to use sunglasses a scarf that I often pulled over lower part of my face and headphones worked really well for a while then suddenly became aware that people were really staring at me really couldn't work out why!!! Caught glimpse in window as I walked past cosseted in my own little comfort zone and low and behold looked like a cartoon burglar LOL. I think I'll follow your example and add just glasses when it feels THAT bad take care xxxx))))))
