I've been trying to figure that out for the past hour.
I don't think there is an answer.
How down are you?

I just feel like there is no point in anything right now. All I do is hurt and I just want to stay home in bed by myself. I try really hard to hide these feelings from others and seem cheerful but then I just get upset with them because they don't understand what is going on. Guess that's my fault, but none the less, everything just keeps pilling up.

window shop....
cuddle with my daughter....
Self isolate in the dark and just not think a while (but not to long or it gets worse)
Journal out all the horrible stuff (doesnt always work)
Spend long periods of time in the bath
play a board game or watch a movie with my husband.
talk to my therapist
Call the crissis line to just talk
go have coffee with my friend... she always bitches and complains and it gets my mind off me
eat my comfort food/drink for the current time (it changes)
Get a new pet.... (that one has to stop lol getting to many for my house)
Stay very med compliant and talk to my pdoc is it just wont go away after a week or so

those are just a few of the things I try... my husband forces the issue on most of th eones that arent self isolation or window shopping... and that seems to help over time.

The biggest help so far has just simply been finding the right anti depressant. I was mostly depressed for 12+ years and my new med is kept me from rock bottom even througth some really hard times.

Yeah.
I'm not even trying to explain it to anyone, they can't get it. I think I'll just stay here and try to ignore life at least until tomorrow. It hurts too much to think or feel or question.

sometimes i paint - depending on my mood (everything depends on my mood... who am i kidding)

go hang out at my sisters and just play with my nephews - they're 6 and 2. matchbox cars are sooo much fun!
bake cookies
look online for jokes and make myself laugh...outloud

when you get to the point where you can't move, then what?

I always say it doesn't help but I take klonopin if I get really bad. A cadbury bar helps. Take my sleeping meds earlly.

I think I would really like it if my b/f came home and I cooked dinner and watched a movie or something. I haven't been able to cook in a long time, between him working 2 jobs and is never home and I have been hurting so bad. Maybe that would help? I don't know!!

You know what? You guys help. Reading your ideas, that puts a smile on my face. That hasn't happened today. Thanks!

Maybe just going to sleep?
One would need sleeping pills or something similar.
I'm trapped in here.

I go straight to you tube ..I listen and watch whatever I want ..I DONOT listen to sad boo hoo songs ..only makes things worse ..When I cant do it on my own anymore I pray and always feel better . All you have to do is ask for his help ..he's waiting to help us..just ask

I cuddle with my boyfriend and watch a movie or else I'll come on here and look for things to cheer me up.

i watch wheel of fourtune and jeopardy... they're fun! plus i get to see how NOT smart i am

MUSIC,MUSIC,MUSIC!!!! I love to play music,like right now I just listened 2 "Fuel's" Bad Day,perfect song for today.

It's not your fault at all.

There are times when it's a totally cold and helpless experience.We get through but I'm puzzled how exactly.
Other times you should try and get out, even for a small walk.Test yr bravery too.
Or just indulge yrself in a 'No Guilt' moment.Try to be less harsh to yrself.

I'm biased in the fact that learning to play or playing an instrument lifts you out of yrself.It's great.
