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 am breaking down. My mind is racing and I can't stop it. Walking, stretching, crunches, jumping, music (listening and singing), tea, cleaning then destroying to clean again, writing and typing, drawing, showering, cosmetics, talking (to myself), ice (squeezing and running it over my arms), rubberbands, blanket wrap, screaming in a pillow, holding my furry friend, school work (extra), and meditation, done all of it multiple times and I can't shake it. My stomach is burning from all the working out and it still didn't ease it even as I was doing it. I just can't keep doing these things until I pass out.
Pace yourself in all that you do.
It's fascinating how much work I will put into avoiding acknowledging how crap I feel, and how hard I fight accepting just letting it happen to me. But when I finally hit the limit of my endurance, and start crying, that's the beginning of the healing.
When it happens next time, what about just going to bed and letting it get worse and worse till you start to cry? Fast forward the process. Then if you figure out how to make yourself do this tell me. because I can waste a whole day before I get to that point... :D
