Sorry to hear that. Do you know what might be causing it? Sometimes I just feel sad, and then realize an "anniversary" is coming up of something that happened.

You should be gentle to yourself today...let yourself feel the sadness and then maybe write to a lost one or go for a walk (a walk in the park especially in springtime does wonders for me) or even just take a nap. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you end up feeling better.

I feel stuck. And I feel like my antidepressant is not working. I haven't had thoughts of hurting myself in a while but they are there. Mostly, I just feel sad, and it's hard to deal with.

I completely understand how you are feeling. I have been feeling the same way. Like you, I am looking for a way to make the thoughts go away. I am sorry that you are feeling like that and hope that you find your way of coping. Everyone here has some great ideas that I may try myself.
