I am new to the on-line support groups.  I have added myself to a couple.  I deal with anxiety, depression, OCD and Bipolar.  I have dealt with this since elementry school.


Lately I have found myself slipping into a place that I don't want to be.  My anxiety is through the roof and that is with taking my anxiety meds.  My depression is also worse and at times I find myself feeling like I just want to go to bed so that I can "get away".  I know this isn't the answer because I have done this in the past and it has made things worse for me.  


I feel like I don't know what to do to keep myself busy, yet I don't feel like doing anything???


Does anyone else ever feel this way and are there any suggestions?

I have had Anxiety and O CD all my life. Have you talked to you doctor
about how your feeling? You might need medication adjustment. Also try listening to uplifting music, force yourself to do something. Just clean out a closet, junk drawer, etc. Watch u tube pets, babies, inspiring videos, etc.

Welcome aboard our DS lifeboat. I'm also in several groups since these mental issues all seem to like company. I have a list of things to get done, but often find I may only do a couple. At least that gives me some sense of accomplishment. Don't know I'd take on a major task when in the space you're talking about, just some little stuff. Agree with Tired that both a med adjustment and doing something that might bring a smile are helpful. Glad you're here. Comforting hugs.

Here's to success, welcome to the group! It takes time to find the balance with anxiety. It is natural, so use it to help you!

I know what that's like, knowing you should do something, but you have no motivation at all. And sleeping too much, or not at all. I've been in treatment for depression for over 30 years.

Thank you for all of the helpful ideas. I am talking to my doctor and we have made some med changes recently, just trying to find the right balance.
