Need to vent. I've been feeling really down lately and I'm so angry at myself for it.

Usually when I'm depressed it comes out of no where but this time it's situational and I guess because of that I feel guilty that I can't just get over it. It's university related; don't want to get into that though because I generally don't appreciate advice about that sort of thing, I already know what I need to do but that doesn't change my mood.

I just feel irritable, tired, anxious and just awful. I really wanna feel good again. I'm exercising, taking my meds, making sure I stay social and seeing my therapist. I'm doing all the right things but nothing is helping that much. I feel like this is a weather out the storm kinda thing but I want to be okay now!

Been there. If the situation is something you can take care of now, then do it and get it over with. Delaying something I need to do but dread always makes me feel worse. If you can't, then it sounds like you are doing all you can to keep afloat.

I hate feeling uncomfortable but sometimes sitting with a situation is all you can do. Knowing 'this too shall pass' does help me get through, though.
Thanks for this!

Yeah it's a sort of I can't really do more than what I'm already doing type of thing. Problem is the situation that I was originally upset about has now generalised to the rest of my life. Even if I'm not thinking about uni I'm miserable if that makes sense?

But yeah I guess I'm clinging on to that this too shall pass atm

Situational stuff can turn into an episode. So be gentle with yourself.
