Really hate this

I am feeling really down, and I am trying to stay busy, so as not to think too much. But, I have no energy, so how am I supposed to apply my coping techniques? It just gets really old after a while, struggling just to get through one day, just to have another one to get through. I would sleep, but I can't seem to do that either.
Sorry, just needing to grumble. Maybe it will help?

I think venting always helps! If it didn't, we wouldn't do it, would we? I have a lot of days where I don't have the energy to do what I need to do to be ok.

I usually get yelled at by my T or pdoc because I have the skills to cope, but I never use them when I need to!

Hey Complic8d...
I totally get what you are saying.
What is the point of only coping in order to survive one more day?
It does get old...very old.
You start asking yourself what is the point after all?

This is such a seemingly common feeling... I suffer from it as well. No energy and no motivation anyhow. The energy factor seems to be a big stumbling block for so many... Ther has to be something to alleviate it. If only we could find out some answers to not feeling so down and lackluster. It seems such a waste of human potential and a waste of living at all. To have the desire to live a normal and happy life and to participate in life and have some FUN and help others to do the same........... Why cant we muster up any energy and why r we so tired and low? What is the common thread? Somewhere there must be an answer....... maybe in another culture>? I wish I knew. Maybe we can figure it out?

I would say the common denominator in this matter is.... LOW SEROTONIN LEVELS.

When this happen one tends to become: depressed, lifeless, moody, irritable and have some form of anxiety or panic attacks.... life literally passes you by and all while you watch.


LoVe,
Rhapsody -

P.S. - are you on any medicine.... any SRI?

I wish I could find the right meds, or if they were even made. I have been on pretty much all the SSRI's, and have had several things added to each. We keep looking for the right combo but nothing seems to help it, or works for long if it does help. We might just stop them all and start over, maybe with an MAOI, but I'm really not wanting to use them.
And, yes, venting does help sometimes! I made it through yesterday and am getting through today.
Thanks for the responses, too bad too many others feel this same way
