My birthday is just around the corner "again" for whatever reason. I'm trying hard to get rid of this after holidays depression and fight the birthday depression as well. I try to occupy my mind with things I like, such as music, but it's making it worse. The music places me back to when I was a young man, graduated high school, hit the workforce, and was happy. That was the only time, albeit short lived, but nonetheless the only happy years of my life. I was gung ho with life in front of me.
I am so tired and worn out "from just existing." Anyone else know where I'm coming from? |

Hi Lunatic Fringe
Happy Birthday in case I miss it. I find that listening to music that takes me back in time just depresses me even more. My past is not something that I want to go back to for different reasons. Have you tried some new music to listen to? I am sorry that you have hit a very hard place in your life. I can relate and I know where you are coming from as I also feel that I am just existing since I am older now. My life has changed and it will keep changing. The secret is to find ways to adapt to our changing lifestyles as we age. Our priorities change. Our environment changes. Everything changes as we age. Sometimes we have to make our lives new again and start over with interests. I wish you only the best. |

Music can really bring back memories.
The most effective thing for my depression has been a sort of mindfulness, I just accept what I am doing in the moment and try not to think about it or question what I am doing. |

When I'm depressed music sounds hollow and I don't want to hear it.

I was where you were last week. If you go back and read my posts they are just like yours. Empty. Tired of fighting. etc. My birthday was also last week and is a huge trigger for me. I made it through and am feeling a bit better now. You will too
