Can't Stop Feeling Awful

InfiniteSadness · Jan 03, 2013, 08:30 PM

I cant get rid of this awful, depressing feeling, feeling of dread constantly- no matter what I do... Follows me around like a cancer. Also feeling awful about myself like im diseased. I also feel like **** almost all the time- dont know what thats about- people just say excercise and eat right but that doesnt solve everything.

Are you on medication? Supplements even may help like St. John's Wort, Lithium, etc.

I am the same way. I wish I could offer some advice, but all I can say is having someone listen helps a lot. I just have hope the one day my life will fall into place, but until then I need to help others so their lives can fall into place.

I can relate to this and I know how debilitating and soul destroying these feelings are. But I am trying to avoid the words 'constantly' and 'always' because I can usually find circumstances where they don't apply, however temporary they may be. I am trying to figure out how I can re-create these more contented times. I also exercise and eat right because when I get out of this predominant state of dread I want to be healthy enough and live long enough to enjoy it. I suggest trying every avenue you can think of - therapy, meds, exercise, food allergies/intolerances (gluten and dairy can cause major fatigue), blood sugar issues, possible thyroid and hormone imbalances, work/life balance, toxic relationships to exit from, resolve chronic pain if present, etc etc. And recognize that everybody is so complex. It may not just be one thing. Follow your instincts as to the most likely problems and pursue those first.

Thank you hidden feelings94, I didn't know you were going to write this for me, you said exactly what i was going to say, except i don't even have a listener any more.
