I have fallen into a deep depression

I have fallen into a deep depression

I have fallen into a deep depression. I'm in an enormous amount of psychological pain. I can't get out of bed. I have no energy at all. I thought writing about it might help.

I achieved some things today...

I watched one of Ediya's videos.

I did a 20 minute meditation (it was hard but I did it).

I listened to my audio book The Body Keeps the Score.

I had a tuna, bean and rice salad with a basil vinaigrette for lunch.

I have only had 3 glasses of water.

Re: I have fallen into a deep depression

I haven't had a shower or cleaned my teeth since Wednesday.

Hi @Arizona

I'm sorry to hear you have fallen into a deep depression.

But you have still achieved so much today so you should be proud of that.

I haven't had a shower for 3 days so can understand how hard that can be at times. Perhaps a goal tomorrow can be to have a shower.

Baby steps...

Hi @Arizona

I just wanted to reach out to you. Life is hard! Try to do whatever you can. Sounds like you got a lot done today despite not being able to get out of bed. Perhaps you can do your self care tomorrow. Take a shower and brush your teeth then go back to bed if you need to. Sending you hugs and love 💜

Re: I have fallen into a deep depression

Thank you dear kind friends @Snowie @Flax * and @Oaktree for your replies ❤

I went to the supermarket and bought myself some double chocolate ice creams and some organic chocolate.

That is a good idea @Oaktree . I will have a shower and clean my teeth and get back into bed.

*I saw a reply from @Flax as well but it's gone now. Perhaps it didn't meet the guidelines.
