Get a massage. One hour of massage is enque to 8 hours of sleep.

I am sorry you feel that way :( Depression is hard but try to hang in there and do something/watch a video/listen to music that helps clear your mind. I know I get really down on myself because I am not where I need to be. I feel depressed, am not sleeping well, and do not feel very hungry. However, when I watch Survivor, I take a mini-vacation and laugh a little. I know it does not work for everyone but there must be something that puts a smile on your face. I hope you start to feel a little better soon :)

I hope today's a better day for you. I totally get what you're saying. Do you ever get a chance to interact with people outside of work? I found that sometimes doing even the most mundane thing, and getting out of the house, will sometimes lift my mood for a little bit. This is going to sound nerdy, but for me, it's hitting the park or visiting the library or coffee shop and striking up a conversation with somebody. Although, I find it really hard to do sometimes. I have to really push myself to do it. Thinking of you and you can always chat with me if you'd like.

You are not alone and you are loved and important to someone or if your more fortunate many people in your life and it's possible for you to feel much better and even feel happy again when you take the right steps. First, you need to understand that your not ill depression is a natural reaction to an unhappy event in your life. Once you understand the process it takes to replace all the sadness, disappointment, fear, the loneliness and the pain and exhaustion which together cause your depression, then replace the empty void that is left and fill it with healthy positive feelings of fun, contentment, friendship, good company, physical activity New and exciting challenges, love and relaxation you will absolutely feel much better again. Listen, this is not going to happen overnight and it is necessary for you to accept the importance of going at your own place whilst taking one small step at a time as you move away from how you are feeling right now into the new and happy life you deserve and is your right. this is not going to be hard work it will be easy for you and I would recommend you keep a Day journal to write down and record your progress. There are 5 main steps you need to take; Step 1 Connection with other people in a positive way, ( I presume your not working but if you are that's great unless you hate your job in which case I would say you must leave that toxic environment asap) it's a great idea to do some voluntary work as there's no pressure and you will get a feel good factor. Meet up with someone you like and do something positive like go for a walk in the countryside/along the beach,. Get away from busy noisy places and connect with nature ( when you get out in the fresh air and get some exercise amongst the greenery in nature you can't help feeling a bit brighter. Speak to a therapist if you have a problem that is getting you down to get some advice i.e. Relationships/financial whatever is the root cause of your sadness. Your doctor may provide a free service. Step 3 Go onto utube and search for relaxation meditations, find a quiet space and lie down to relax uninterrupted twice a day to relax its amazing how much more calm you will feel afterwards and you will feel the benefits after the first session. Step 4 Take up a new hobby or challenge that you really enjoy i.e. Learn a musical instrument or a foreign language, learn a new sport something which will take up a lot of your time at least 3 sessions a week. This will take your mind of your problems. Table tennis is ideal as it's fun and you get to socialise at the same time. Learn how to sing etc. It's a good idea to try lots of different new activities to find out what you enjoy doing and stick with it ( it takes at least 6 months to see much improvement but the most important thing is you enjoy it. Step 5 Physical activity, you need to get at least 30 mins exercise every day even if it's just walking but the more physical the better you will feel. Remember to keep a journal as writing your diary in itself is a stress buster. Do all these things and you will feel much happier. Good luck to you and remember you must fill your life with doing fun things and try to avoid any negative thoughts just let them go and repkace them with happier ones thinking about what you would like your life to look like instead. One happy thought leads to another. I know you can do this and I know you will feel happy again. Happiness is a decision. Good luck!

I feel you. One thing that helps me is knowing that while depressed im never going to "feel" like doing anything, so i just have to start! Love you.ulfap

If you like music, logic has helped a lot when I get to this place. His song 18002738255 means so much to me when I’m feeling this way. And lately it seems like it’s everyday but then I stop and listen to this music and make myself realize why I’ve been fighting for this long and remember what’s going to keep me fighting.

Let me ask you something important? Do you ever feel absolutely wonderful when you're life's totally in the toilet and other times you can't seem to shake off a feeling of impending doom when there is nothing particularly terrible going on?

If you've experienced either of those scenario's your mood is not necessarily based on what is going on in your life at the moment. That's a sign that you might have a chemical imbalance. I won't go away without proper medication. Get helps, stay on your meds and talk with a counselor about other strategies to help you stabilize your mood. In the meanwhile, know you are loved by people you would never suspect. I truly believe that in every single person's life there is someone who truly loves you but for whatever reason never gets around to telling you. Think about that for a minute.

I agree with Squirrel, don’t give up, everyone and their mother has thought about killing themselves at one point or another and ultimately, it’s not the answer! You are important to those around you, more so than you ever thought or realized I bet! If you’re seeing a therapist call them, be completely honest and lay it all on the line! If you’re not seeing a therapist, please find one! Go to a friend, pastor, or family member at the very least…you can overcome this, you sound incredibly strong and I believe in that strength of character.

Heavenly father bless this person with your love and mercy…take these feelings and replace them with your love and understanding Jesus! Continue to provide the strength to walk the path and heal him/her completely! I will continue to pray for you, please don’t give in, get the help you need, and please keep on talking and seeking out a sympathetic ear. This link has so many resources, to include counseling, look through it please: http://bit.ly/2vDZXBA. I’d love to help if I can, talk back!

Thank you all for the positive feedback I appreciate you taking time to talk to me and help me and lend an ear for me
