I don’t know why I’m so depressed

Every little thing is getting to me

I’m so emotional

@Shaz51 @oceangirl @Owlunar @Ali11 @Razzle @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope and others

So sorry to hear that @BlueBay, are you able to take some time out for yourself this afternoon and enjoy a coffee or tea?

my sister @BlueBay

have you had your meds , eaten some lunch , drinking water today

have you looked in your coping box xx

is ayla there today xx

Yeah @Shaz51 @Ali11 A is home. She is asleep. I’m just not happy not motivated and not positive thinking today.

I don’t know what to do.

I’m outside getting some fresh air

Hi @BlueBay

You had a pretty rough week and your session with your therapist - while successful - took a lot out of you

And I am pretty sure you have something called SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder - it's very common and most people have it - I do - and the sudden icy-crises in Melbourne would be contributing to your mood - I am sure of that

Take this easy - we have had a bit of sun - really pathetic actually - but I think it has been fine today though I will admit I haven't looked or gone outside to feel the air

It's normal to be down at times - you are an emotional person and as uncomfortable as that can be at times it is a pretty normal state - we all have emotions -

Accept this - perhaps you are more emotional than most people - I don't think fighting it would make much difference -

But care for yourself - take your medication and eat properly - allow a little more food when the weather is so cold - and rest.

And get your cuddles from A - I miss my old cat a lot atm - I am okay - just enjoy my memories

Thinking of you

Sitting outside for some fresh air sounds nice @BlueBay, just make sure you rug up - it's chilly outside! How is the weather looking?

I agree @Owlunar

mr shaz has SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder too

@BlueBay

can you have a rest while A is asleep , sometimes it is good to do nothing , feels strange do nothing but sometimes we need it

Hi @Owlunar @Shaz51 @Ali11

I’m sitting on the couch. Doing nothing.

Its not too cold outside.

I think I’m trying to fight my depression my sadness moodiness and anger. I need to nit fight it but it’s difficult.

I just can’t shift this negative mind.

Msybe I do have SADS.

I know it is hard my sister @BlueBay

don`t fight it , accept it and do something like watch tv or a video

or watch Ayla`s favourite show ( if she is awake ) or do colouring with her xx

@Shaz51 is right @BlueBay

You can't fight it - all you can do is accept it and do something else to keep yourself entertained or just go to bed

I read a lot - I get warm - turning the heater on or up, getting a wheat pack and a hot drink - a good novel - I might have read it countless times before - and snuggle up in bed

Yes - I know you have a house-full of people but you can have time to yourself - that's how you find yourself - but self-nuturing and time for yourself

The other day when I was so cold I made a batch of cookies - having the oven on helped and so did eating the warm cookies -

But don't fight it - that just makes everything harder
