I’m feeling really quite low today and I’m not sure why. I’m kinda in a bum mood with the weekend coming up and I’m not sure what my plans are. I’m torn with whether to spend time with my family, friends, or boyfriend. I’d like to spend time with my boyfriend, but it doesn’t look like that will be able to happen.

I’m not feeling very productive at work either. Yesterday I took a half day b/c I thought I was sick. Today, I haven’t done anything (literally most of the day, other than going on FB and poking online). I feel so unproductive. I just want to go home, crawl in bed and sleep.

I am trying to give myself a break, like Pegasus has suggested. I’m trying to convince myself that these feelings are “normal” for those who don’t have depression. Do people without depression feel like this sometimes? Or is it just that I FEEL things too much? Am I normal or am I depressed. Or just dramatic? Idk.

I’m trying to convince myself that I’m not depressed. It really does depend on the day. Nothing has been a trigger for me lately, which is what I’m trying to get better at identifying. I just feel blah.

As every other weekend, I also have a list of things I need to get done – including laundry, hair cut (which I have been putting off for several weeks), and visit family. I just don’t want to do any of that stuff.

Not quite sure what’s going on or how to help myself. Or “if” I want to help myself at this point.

"Productive?" What's "productive?"

Doggiedo, do to-do lists help you? In any event, come the end of the weekend, it might be interesting to see what you actually did accomplish, including things not on your list.

May you find something to brighten your weekend.

In my opinion, it's impossible to feel too much. But, it is possible to feel too overwhelmed. What if you asked your depression what it wants from you? Everybody needs a day off work or time to lounge in bed. This may not be horribly bad, even if it feels that way. Maybe you need to so something kind for yourself. If you need to post back, then do it. Support feels good and you certainly deserve to be supported at this tough time
