Quinch Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I've been feeling depressed all day. Crap day at work. Just couldn't get motivated to do anything. Bought a big bar of chocolate on the way home to cheer myself up. Ate too much. Now I feel depressed and sick I hate this bloody depression. I just want to be normal. I WANT TO BE HAPPY. But I don't know if I ever can be. Am I asking for too much? It's 7:30 and I'm going to bed already. I've had enough of this day
Ocean-Blue Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I've been feeling depressed all day. Crap day at work. Just couldn't get motivated to do anything.

But I don't know if I ever can be. Am I asking for too much? It's 7:30 and I'm going to bed already. I've had enough of this day Quinch, are you seeing a doctor for this? Have you been diagnosed yet? I hear ya on the feeling meh bit... I've been feeling very strangely the last week or so. I hope it's just the winter blues... Hugs to you.
ninjaturtles Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 So sorry for the way you are feeling. The past 2 days have been very hard for me as well... but I am going to tuck into some icecream now.. Im guessing you got out of a relationship not too long ago..sometimes I feel depressed not just because of my failed relationship but because of other things as well, life sometimes just feels unfair to us in different ways. I have a lot of friends who have been in longterm lovely relationships, having the time of thier lives with people who love them and are willing to COMPROMISE AND WORK on the relationship. Dont get me wrong, I am very happy for them and love them a lot, but sometimes i feel sad because I wish I could be like them... you know... I realise that 'this too shall pass', sometimes we need to go through vert rough patches, its life! Stay strong and let out your emotions when you want to. Sometimes I meditate, I dont fight away the bad feelings, I think about them, then encourage myself. I also try to stay busy but for eg I missed classes today because I was feeling awful. I contacted the ex today, maybe Ild put up a note about it.read it if you can. Dont worry, we are on a path, a journey..we WILL get there..cheer up and watch a nice movie..and dont eat too much chocolate next time.lol. Stay strong.xxx
Author Quinch Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 Im guessing you got out of a relationship not too long ago.. Actually I did get out of my last relationship a long time ago and I am now over her but I haven't been able to find a new relationship since because of the depression. Sometimes I wonder if it's now too late to find another relationship because I've been out of the game too long.

I'm sorry you're feeling blue. It sucks and I wish there was a way we LSers could magically give our strength to others when they need it.
Author Quinch Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 I'm still a long way from being ready. Right now I just want to climb under the duvet and not come out until after Christmas.
bigheartkindsoul Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 {{{{{hugs}}}}} So hunny your main aim is too get the depression sorted, write a list of what you need to get it sorted. Medication, therapy, making new friends, new hobby, exercise, taking vitamins It isn't easy you know I know that all too well but you can and will come out the otherside, you just have to work on it. xxxx
Author Quinch Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 I've been here before and I came out of it but its still difficult not to slide back into that hole. I'll go to the doctors on Monday and ask him to put me back on anti-depressants.
sb129 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Oh Quinch. You know its the time of year too right. Not much daylight, crappy weather, the festive season buildup (which can be stressful!) Get yourself one of those Androv full daylight spectrum lightbulbs (google it or you can get them on amazon). I always get mild SAD around this time of year, and the lightbulb has made a difference, I am sure of it. It tricks your body into thinking you are getting a good big dose of natural sunlight-like light. I have definitely noticed that since we got the light, its easier to get up in the morning. By all means see your GP too, if thats what you feel you need. You know yourself best.
