Discontent

Hello all! Why am I discontented? Because I'm not happy with my present state,. My thoughts are often of fear of loss and death. I can dwell in it if I choose, or I can take some type of action. Like sharing and changing my thinking. I can create my own problems cause I analyze too much. Thanks for letting me share.

Hello

Are you new to the website? I haven't seen you post before, if you are new then welcome. We are a very friendly bunch of people who will support you as best we can so do continue to write. We will also appreciate support from you when you feel able to offer it.

Being discontent is frustrating and having thoughts of loss and death it sounds as though you are depressed. Have you seen your GP? Yes, sharing thinking helps though sometimes emotions take over.

I think most of us who write on the website analyse too much at times - when we share the analysis then it can be helpful so do please continue sharing with us.

Notice from your profile that you were a smoker. Is it possible that the withdrawl is making you feel worse?

I had a colleague at work many years ago and he was the most mild-mannered person you could wish for - except for the few months where he gave up smoking when he was like a bear with a sore head and just went ballistic at the slightest thing.

Do you have any interests that you could 'throw' yourself into ... or something that you enjoyed in the past. That probably sounds like a tall order at the moment but one of the cruel things about depression is that it turns the relationship between motivation and action on it's head so you actually have to do something before you feel like doing it.

Thanks for your feedback. I do think stopping tobacco has affected my depression some. Ive been free from all nicotine for just 2 months. I am looking into creative things I enjoy doing. Thanks again for the input.
