Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I go through periods of great productivity and then -- days like today. I get thrown off by the smallest things! Then I get all obsessed with distractions and I get NOTHING DONE. I quit taking all my prescriptions a few months ago and generally feeling better, I quit ambien, zoloft, I quit drinking. How do you get back to focusing on what you are supposed to do? Usually it's people who distract me, this time it was an old friend, who keeps on making plans, then breaking them at the last minute. She is such a narcissist, too. I am wondering if I just tell her to jump in a lake.
As for the friend, I would not tell her to jump in a lake, but I would point out to her that she tends to break plans at the last minute and that is a problem for you.
