I shutdown when in a depression or even if just depressed for the odd day I like to tune out
Are you okay sweetie?

I'm unable to nap during the day and so I just lay down and daydream for an hour or so and those daydreams are about what any young fellow would have them be and that can re energize me for at least a little while.

I am ok Jan. It was an ok day - I just feel at a loss for what I can do with myself. I am so used to not having too many options besides tv or reading that - and not socializing- that I just kind of tune out.

Tonight I decided to get on the computer and write about it.

Daydreaming and tuning out sounds good Riguad

I think that's what most of us do Marky.... What about getting into a hobby??.. painting or making model ? airplanes or cars??...learning an instrument?... Something new

those are good ideas Jan! thanks!

I don't usually nap during the day either but when I do - I crash for a bit.

Ohh yea, did this last night and few nights before that.

I've recently gotten sleep back in my toolbox -= gone years. I got on disability trying to sleep aways a 6 months of depression!

I still miss naps, and love to sleep and not face things

the only difference, I want to sleep because "I don't like today" LOL tiny hope tomorrow is better, but if possible - I'm DONE with today....lol

you are not alone my friend

Marky I think sometimes what I hear you describe is boredom... this might be something you can address on Monday??...Making some healthy ideas for yourself sort of thing? perhaps?...x

Sleep is my defense for anything! If I have anxiety if I'm In a new or uncomfortable situation. People think I'm being rude cuz I yawn but its normally I'm uncomfy in some way

all the time. i just go 'well I have had enough of this day' and go to bed. it works every time.

I needed sleep yesterday at 4:30 pm after being up since 1 am. Slept until 6:40 this morning. :)

Yup. That's part of my regular routine. Either I'm anxious or bored or depressed, I often don't know what to do with myself so I sleep, if I can or just lay in bed. It has, however, really messed with my sleep cycle. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Yes

When I'm having a mood swing, I go to bed. There's nothing I can do about it and it's too painful to deal with.
