When I have days like this and believe me there are many I stay in my duvet and have adult colouring books they really chill me out and take my mind off anything else I'm stressed about

hello, I'm hamble. Is there anything in particular making you feel this way?

it's a bit quiet on here at the moment, but people will have read your post, just not everyone feels confident in replying.

you have taken a huge step in coming on here and sharing how you are feeling - I find that hard for me to do.

does it help to know that many people with depression feel that way at times?

I know I do.

have you someone to talk to? does your gp understand?

could you relax to some favourite music, or read a favourite book?

there are some good "mindfulness" websites, or just have a duvet day.

I'll come back on tomorrow and look to see if you've been back on.

regards,

hamble

Has something happened of which you are afraid to share ? Staying at home and suffering, is not going to help you. Please share with your trusted close relative or friend.

BYW , are you in early teens.

Hi,

I felt exactly the same just yesterday. In the morning I was fine, and I'm not 100% sure what triggered it, but by around 14.00 I was really down and by around 16.00 I was in bed crying under the duvet and just hiding from the world. I was going to meet friends for a movie and dinner and just cancelled on them. I ended up crying for hours, and only got up at around 20.00 to make some scrambled eggs and go to sleep.

This morning when I woke up I felt a lot better though, and I thought about what happened yesterday and realised I haven't done any of the mindfulness practices I've been trying out, nor done any Zentangling (that really helps me to relax), nor gone out and breathed fresh air for a couple of days (I work from home so there's no 'need' to go out.) Maybe some of those things can help you too? I use 'Headspace' (an app) for guided meditations and just started trying out 'You-App' for microactions.

Just know that you're not alone, and it's ok to feel sad sometimes. If you ever want to talk about how you feel, just let me know - I completely understand and you're definitely not alone. There are lots of people who want to be there for you, including people here, and including myself.

Feel better soon and maybe 'speak' soon?

Hi, your most certainly not on your own that's exactly how I feel everyday, I just wish I had an answer for you, I battle everyday mornings I can't handle at all, keep in touch with me whenever you need to talk x
