Hi I know what it s like . Stay strong.

Hi Lucillegem,

Thinking of you. We are here.

You're having a really really bad day. Clear your mind. Don't think of ANYTHING. Look at something pleasant, stare at it for a few minutes, like a tree outside your window, etc. The bad feelings should go away. I hope you feel better soon!

I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. I've been there too and it sucks. Sending positive healing your way. Be kind to yourself. If you can muster the strength go for a walk, find something in nature that is beautiful. You are beautiful, don't forget it. This will pass. Believe in yourself.

That sounds really, really rough and crappy... and you're not alone. I've been there too, and know how devastating it feels. You're not alone. Hang in there. You probably know this is low - a big low - but it's part of a wave curve that we all seem to ride. Hang in there. Your emotions don't define your worth. Your depression doesn't define who you are. They are accessories to your person, not you.

Is it possible for you to go outside for a bit, to look at some plants and maybe sparrows? Are the weather good? If you're in a noisy city, do you have a set of headphones you can put on to block noise out while you take 20 minutes to just sit and look at nature while listening to word-less soundtrack?

thank you all for the kind comments. Its been a struggle and I am constantly tired. Taking it one step at a time...

@a-Hero-to-One thank you for the recommendation! definitely going to try it :)

I'm sorry you feel that way. Try to think of something on the brighter side that you enjoy doing...like your favorite activity, music, movie, or sport. If nothing helps then ask a therapist to talk to you. It helps to talk about your feelings.

I am sorry to hear that you have been crying and that it exhausts you. Once you have let out all of the emotions, you will feel much better, as though your whole body has been purged of all the negativity. Rest, have a good sleep and don't think of anything. Listen to a good, happy song that have some meaning to you. You have cried all of your tears, the worst has happened and bad things have passed. From now on, a bright future awaits you, your mind henceforth will be in a better state.

Sorry about what you're going through. Proud of you for sharing. Hope expressing yourself is helpful. Don't be ashamed of feeling the feelings. Keep the faith! Better times ahead.

Sorry to hear what you are going through!!! I can totally relate. I have been pretty good keeping my emotions even keel but this week has been absolutely awful!!! I allowed myself to cry which I thought would help get everything out but just the opposite. I keep going down the rabbit hole of everything that has caused me pain and suffering and now I am in a place where I can barely focus, my tears and emotions are easily triggered and I just can't get it together. I'm back to restless, sleepless nights and bad anxiety attacks. I just can't stop the waterworks and I cannot control my thoughts or negative self-talk this time around. I am at my lowest low. I have so much going on and so many demands and I just feel like at this point nothing is good enough.
Remeber to give yourself grace and mercy. Take one day at a time. You got this!
