"Crappy" Days

Sabrina15

I'm feeling pretty crappy today for a number of reasons. Mom and I are at odds, a co-worker pissed me off, and a friend is very ill. Not to mention, the weather is dark, rainy, and gloomy. Moments like this make me want to run away, and the amount of frustration I feel is indescribable. I'd love to scream to the top of my lungs....but I can't. There are other triggers which affect my depression, but there are too many to name, and I'm sure I'll get through this as I usually do, but it takes time. I want to try anti-depressants, but I don't want medication in my system all the time. So far, I've managed my symptoms with faith and prayers.

How do you manage "crappy" days?

When I am having a bad day, I just try to stay busy doing something -
to get my mind off of myself and how I feel, because I know there will be another good day and this too shall pass. I pray, too.

When I am having a bad day (like today) I try to laugh, as much as I can. I try to find humor in anything! So far that is not helping me much today but what else helps is having other women to talk to about what I'm thinking and is going on in my life or in theres....I am here to listen if you need to talk! And don't forget to ask God for strength!

I am not okay â it is not that I donât try to be ok â I do â I am crippled by the ongoing financial crisis & my inability to even put it in a workable way is far far too much for me

I am for sure a bohemian ("someone ... who does not live according to the conventions of society") in that I donât follow convention because often I do. I donât just go along to get along though & Iâm a natural devilâs advocate & a critic. I also give generous praise & compliments. I for myself alone, try to speak the truth, which I know is only my truth, all of the time. I am also incredibly introspective & want to comment the next day or next week.

The things I have listed really seem to be my true essence & I honor my journey. At this point, though, people donât seem to understand me at all. The feelings I have are lonliness, sadness, frustration.

They say if you can live with yourself alone & Love yourself you are healthy & ready to be in relationship. I do Love myself & live with myself alone. It is in trying to form friendships that I am rejected.

Hello Sabrina. What I do is begin my day with prayer and put on God's armor for protection. First of all depression doesn't come from Him,so therefore you could look up some scriptures that covers that and begin to speak them over it. God is your Deliver and your Healer and by bringing it to the alter and leaving it there allows Him to work on your behalf. He says that we can do all things through Him and nothing is impossible with Him. I pray you feel better my friend. God Bless You

dandelion8: Hi....I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time also. You mentioned that you have a hard time forming friendships, but there are others who feel the same way. You are not alone, and I hope that you allow DS to help you deal with your lonliness. If you join several support groups, you'll have the chance to interact and chat with other members. There are many good people on this site.

tracy444: I agree that prayer is very important, and I hold on to my faith because it gets me through the difficult times. However, there are times when things get worse no matter what. Thanks for the positive feedback!
