Yeah I know how it feels no fun at all. I was terrible the other day, it ended up being PMDD for me but it is such an agitated depression, my pdoc always describes it as a mixed state. In hindsight I should have gone to hospital when I first suggested it to my partner but he didnt want to miss me. Luckily it only lasted a week or so.

I called lifeline about 8 times, called all of my friends to help me but when they asked what they could do I said there was nothing they could do - which isnt exactly true - had someone come around and made me play a board game, or taken me for a walk to see the horses, or just reminded me that this will pass and life will be ok again, it may have lessened the severity of my symptoms. Sitting alone by myself in my house was the worst thing to do because I got dangerous. I can see it clearly now that it has passed, but in the moment it was so terrible, so awful to bare, had someone suggested this to me I probably would have blown it off as I felt I was beyond help.

Call out to your friends, see if there is an activity you can do that will just help you pass the time. If you tell them how dire the situation is and they are true friends, they will not turn you down. Do not feel guilty for this - that is what friends are for.

If no one can help you, whats your favourite chill out activity? Have you got a favourite TV show? Or game? Do you like chat rooms? Can you sleep at all?
