i don't know

When someone asks me questions my answer is always the same " I don't know".

What are you going to do today?
How are you feeling?
What is important to you?
What are you going to do in the future?
What makes you stay in bed?
Why can't you be around other people?

The answer is: I don't know.

Is this depression? Or is it something else that has my mind mixed up. I do know that before depression set in I always had an answer. I always knew what I was going to do. Does anyone else have this problem? I am just lost I guess.

Hence my username: Idontknow, that has been my answer just like you to everything I am asked for the last 4 months. I, like you, used to have an answer for everything before so I would think depression has something to do with it.

After writing this post it made me think. I do know one thing, not sure how I missed it but I did. The main reason I found PC.

I want to beat my depression. I do know this.

Me too ............. .............

Sorry guys , If you think I'm making fun of depression.

It is a horrible illness , believe me , I know first hand.
Just trying to make you smile

Yes you're right Alaskan "I don't know"
Depression is an illness , that I do know.

I do know exactly what you are saying. I always say I Don't Know. Even when it is as simple as where would you like to eat. I seem to never have an answer unless it is something about me that is demeaning. But I do know where you are coming from.

I do believe it is the depression talking. I think most of the time, the depression talks for us. It is so hard to think when depression hits and most of the time----I do not think we do know what it is that we want, or we are afraid that what we want is not important so it is easier to just not know. Also, I find it that if I don't know, I don't interfere with what others may want----and I feel that what I want is not of importance.

Hang in there and know you are not alone. We are listening and we are here for you anytime.

I do the same when it comes to eating. I thought I was the only one who did that. Thanks Hugs for your day.

No matter how I feel ((((babysteps09)))) can always bring in a smile. Thanks my friend.

My husband used to ask me how I could possibly be depressed when I had so much and all I could answer was that I didn't know. There just doesn't seem to be a logical answer for this horrible illness.

That is so true, Hugs for your day.

Certainly sounds to me like it's the depression. It can make me feel blank or dead inside. And totally unable to make decisions.

I can count my blessings and they are great, but it doesn't seem to impact my illness.

"I don't know" either D.A.

Mostly I don't know why I am the way I am.

Yes, decisions suck almost as bad as depression. When you don't know you just don't know. So how do you know? When will you know? got me!!

You are not alone - I don't know the way I am either. Where do we find the answer?

I know its just always been that way. When my boy asks me why I'm crying I say I dnt know too. Bcz there isn't an answer we just are. We just do. It is what it is

The I don't know's are so hard to live with. People around us can't really understand us because we have this answer "I don't know". So sorry we have to live with the "I don't know's". Hugs for your day.
