Q: Lately

Lately i've been extra depressed. Not my usual depression, but something different. I can usually get by day to day pretending to be alright, but now it seems that I don't even have the energy. I can't smile anymore.. I can hardly get out of bed. I skipped my classes today, and slept and slept and slept. I wish I could explain exactly what is going on in my mind. But my mind is so dead that I can't think. Not even s.I. Can make me feel, anymore. I'm stuck. I just stared off for 5 minutes.

I guess I have nothing else to say. I don't know what kind of advice I was looking for. I'm sorry.

I just wanted to let you know that people care. I don't know what kind of advice I can give you......Just know that someone here is thinking about you, and don't apologize for saying how you feel. Getting your feelings out will help, better than holding them all in. Hope things start looking up..... :-)

Hey
I kinda know how you are feeling, and what you are doing right now can actually help you get better,. If you cant talk out all your feelings than take a journal or a book and express how you feeel and if you dont know what to write ,then leave it for another day,try yoga..That helps too..

Are there any hobbies that you have done in the past that you love doing that make you happy? If so maybe get back into something you like doing. Mine is of course being a female shopping!

I have been given an "exercise" my theropist is to write in my journal
"how I felt today" and when i'm up for it "a postive thing about myself"
and it's helping because it's getting things out of my mind for me to see in the open.

Start mediation maybe? Surround yourself with your good friends. Things do eventually go on the up again, we can never always go down, even when you think we can.

And coming here has helped me alot to.
