Sad and depressed

Sad and depressed

😔

I feel sad. I feel depressed. Like I don't care about anything really.

Its all too much and everything is fake.

Lockdown will end soon but I'm also not looking forward to thag because it means I feel obligated to see people.

I am hoping on starting small. Just bring back routines and such. Like my gym routine.

I am feeling so overwhelmed by things. It feels like everyone around me is progressing in life and even people younger than me are. I feel a failure.

Don't care about much anymore

Re: Sad and depressed

Hi @frog,

Nice to meet you also I'm glad my words could in some small way help. Over the last few months I have made the commitment to track how I am feeling throughout the day linked to whatever activities I might be doing in an app called Daylio (couple of screen shots below).

It has really helped me to gain perspective on what activities positively and negatively affect my mood and that the way I think and feel are 100% linked to what I am choosing to do that day. So I continue to refine a flexible but positive set of daily protocols that support my mental health. And my practice is to get ever-better at not breaking my chain of daily self care.

Unfortunately that happened on the weekend, but I am bouncing back - it was a great September after all.
