Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hello Everyone, 



So I wanted to ask you guys.. is it normal to have some days where you're okay, like you're happy and you feel like everything is going well... and then wake up the next morning and just have no desire to do anything at all? Like you just want to stay in bed all day and just sleep? 


I'm back at University already, so I kind of saw these types of days coming.. like today is one of those days. Its 8pm and I'm still in my pjs, but I did manage to get my assignments that were due today done, so I'm glad for that. 


I'm kind of just wondering if anyone else has these days that just feel like they last forever and you just feel overwhelmingly tired. 



I hope everyone is doing well.

Yes I have those days too. Take comfort in knowing that pass. On those days I do good self care. Paint my nails, wash my hair, wear something nice. That seems to help. And of course I reach out for support.

Yes this is totally normal. Sucks to have those days but I think we all do. I usually just try my best to do at least one productive thing on those days. Even though it's usually hard I always feel a little better afterwards.

Yes there are days when I don't feel like doing anything and days where I know I have to get things done. Just pace yourself. Everyone goes through those days. Just try to do what you can do. And you will feel like you accomplished something. Good luck.

"Normal" is not my specialty, but I don't know of anyone who doesn't have days and stages of depression and/or anxiety. Cycles are found everywhere in Nature.

However, that doesn't mean you should shrug them off like the off days are nothing. Venting and sorting through the yaddahs of the off days can help make them easier and contribute to a more productive tomorrow.

Sort freely. Sort often. Listening. . .

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

Yes, those days happen.

Keep writing it out, that is "doing" something with your thoughts.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
