This morning sucks, for apparently no reason

This is my first post, just joined.


Have had depression for over 20 years, anxiety for close to 10. 


Seperated currently from my wife and kids, which adds to everything.


Been doing all the things to take care of myself, I utilize dbt training, am taking all my meds, exercising a lot.


But this morning I just don't have the energy - my mood is sliding, the feelings of loneliness are damn near overwhelming to the point where I can barely sit upright at my desk at work, much less do anything but type this.  I hope I can find the strength to get past this and do something with this day, as I need to for work.  But feeling awful right now.



Thank you for listening.

Hey Chris. I am glad that you decided to join DS and share your troubles. It sounds like you are going through a lot of stressful stuff right now. With your wife and kids. That would stress anyone out. You've been battling depression and anxiety for a very long time. You are a fighter and I know it doesn't seem like it now but all of this will pass with time. You are brave and you got this bud.

Thanks scandalous. I appreciate the kind words. I know cognitively that this will pass, but in the interim it sucks. Trying to just take it minute by minute.

Chris don't look ahead past the moment your in . On days like this you have to concentrate on the moment. Tell your self and believe it that your strong , you have had worse , and you can do this , because you can . When your done with work do something for you to relax and make you feel better . you said you work out , if you can do it try and do that , it will give you an adrenaline rush and up your mood and if you can make your self do it feel proud that you did it .

Thanks everyone. That's what I'm trying to do - moment to moment, breathing, distraction, etc. Sometimes the bad shit creeps in anyway, but I'm already feeling a little better from posting and from your comments. Very much appreciated - thank you.
