Yes it can. I recently had a depressive day where I spent all day in bed, sleeping off and on, watching TV, and didn't do anything else.

Hi Manx,
It's very nice to meet you. The weather I think does play apart in your mood. It's been sunny here. So it's nice to be able to get out and enjoy that. Rainy days can be depressing to me. But it's a good day to read and to nap and just be inside doing things around the house. Or just relaxing with a good book. I love to read too. Well enjoy the day. And thanks for your comment.

Hi Ash122,
I think everyone has those kinda of days every once and a awhile. As long as it isn't everyday. I think it feels good to treat yourself. Good for you. Thank you for your comment and enjoy your day. Italianmomma4ever

I agree, I think that it causes lack of interest and motivation. Because you think that no one cares and overthink, you feel like your whole world is falling apar.t. If you sleep you are not suffering, I think it’s your body’s way of coping.

Hi Secouya,
I think it does too. I think you just don't care about nothing and you think no one cares. You do have a tendency to overthink every situation. And you just feel down. Like the world is against you and crumbling. Sleep does make you not suffer. Because you don't think about anything. That's how your body reacts to it all. Thank you for your comment my friend.

And Secouya,
I'm glad your back on the DS. Always good to hear from you.

Absolutely! Depression can leave one less motivated to do anything. I am a lover of music so whenever I feel down or depressed, I just turn my music and create a different space.

Does caffeine and chocolate make anxieties worsen?

Hi Sunshineblusku,
Nice to meet you. Nice user name too. Yes depression can sure leave you in a funk. It can suck the life out of you. I love listening to music. I turn it on when I'm cleaning or cooking. It gets me going and it puts me in a good mood, I also listen to relaxing music on You Tube when I go to bed. It helps me sleep better. Thanks for your comment. Italianmomma4ever

And Sunshineblusku,
Both caffeine and chocolate make your anxiety worse. I don't drink anything with caffeine. My therapist told me not to. And chocolate has a lot of sugar in it so I stay away from that too. I eat fruit. Which has sugar but it's natural. But I must say that I have read a lot of good things on dark chocolate that it's good for you. So I guess alittle chocolate won't hurt. I hope that helps answer your question. I love strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Yum. And I have fresh strawberries growing in my garden. Enjoy!!! Italianmomma4ever
