There's no other way to describe it. Trying to act like there's nothing wrong because everyone around me doesn't get it is tiring and making me more crazy than I already am. People just DO NOT GET IT. "Buck up." **** off. At least some of the people at the crisis center understand it. Or appeared to anyway. They were able to keep me safer from me. After my last visit there-only a few weeks ago- I thought I was able to take things one day at a time, deal with **** as it happens and deal with the old stuff (where all the issues are) when there's time to be a spaz. Day by day no longer exists. Am down to minute by minute and feel that battle being lost. I can't do this anymore.

Doing things moment by moment can still work out for you. Just keep moving forward. Nothing ever stays the same.

 It's never that easy. We all know that here. Trevor 0 has a good point. take it moment by moment, breath by breath, heartbeat by heartbeat if necessary. You will get through this. Keep posting and let us know how its going

hi gp22, welcome to pc!
 I think it's great that you've been going to the crisis centre. If things are getting bad again, then I really hope that you go back. It's an incredibly healthy step to take. Not everyone is going to understand depression. In fact, the majority of people don't.  I know how hard it can be trying to explain that "bucking up" doesn't actually work. Once I got so frustrated by someone telling me that I just wasn't trying hard enough to be happy that I yelled, "Do you think I WANT to be like this?!" It's VERY hard not to just snap when people say things like that. Try to remember that most people aren't professionals, or even remotely informed about depression or mental illness in general and have no idea how it works. If you keep getting the "think happy thoughts" reaction, then it might be worth turning your attention elsewhere in terms of talking about your feelings. The crisis centre is a good place, because the people there are professionals and know that depression has nothing to do with will power or personal weakness. Also know that here at PC nobody is going to tell you to "buck up" -- most of us have heard that enough to share your frustration at it, and we understand firsthand that it's a lot more difficult than that. Feel free to vent away, you'll find the support and understanding here are amazing.

Hi, GP22! Is there anything super-stressful in your life right now that you could drop or curtail in order to save energy and focus for the most important things?

(((((gp22)))))) I have no other words of wisdom for you. Sounds like you are doing the best you can. Anyone and any place that offers you a bit of respite, go! And we are here for you, I certainly understand how you are feeling. Please keep posting.

 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free. But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
