I hate being down! Especially, in the morning, it is so hard to get out of bed, not bc I'm tired, just such a dread, so hard to get up. I'm tired right now, but feeling better than I do in the morning. Don't want to go to sleep. I will eventually, have to.
I've gained some weight too, feeling more depressed bc of that. I know moving around, exercising would help, but sounds so hard to do too.
It's amazing how I look in the mirror with my moods. Down, it's gloomy. Up, I see a pretty person.

Oh I'm sorry. I know it must be hard. I think you should talk to someone near you. Just listen to what the person says, keep remind yourself that what she/he says is all true and what your mind tells you is all wrong. And also please avoid seeing news online/on tv or going on FB, it tends to worse the depression, watching some comedies might help or simple thing like gardening if you don't feel to go outside. Don't let the depression get even worse and you know you have to fight it! Stay strong! -Tami-
Thanks for this!

Could it be a medication issue. Ive had some horrible meds that did that to me.

I know that feeling so well. I could say hang in there, but thats a no duh.

Do you have anything planned for your future? Like a day trip some where? Something fun and exciting coming up? I know stuff like that keeps me motivated.

I went on line and looked up events around my area. I planned fun day trips for my family. ( tomato conflict where we throw tomatoes at each other and other people and we are going on a zombie walk in Louisville) I have something to look forward to. I also planing to do a color run and a mud run, this give me motivation to get to the gym and get fit for it. Its been awesome, Im getting strong and Im feeling better.

I hope this helps.

i love your last line. it's so important for you to see yourself as a pretty person. you def are. get your med adjusted to the right dosage and the gloomy part should go off slowly

med sucks but in some way it's a need. I had dealt with stupid weight gain the terrible way. i went chaotic. always let your doc knows how you feel. you guys then can work something out
