Unless you've experienced this it can be kind of hard to understand. Everything looks and feels dark. I've got this horrible pit in my stomach and I'm half expecting something bad to happen. I feel like I'm mourning the death of someone close to me, but nobody has passed away. I can't look at my pets without anticipating their death. I feel guilty for no reason. I feel so depressed right now and I don't know what to do. Everything just feels so damn dark.

Has anyone got any advice?

Do you have any relaxation tapes or relaxing music you could maybe lay down and listen to for a while and see if it takes any of the anxiety away. I get into the "merry-go-round" thought patterns you are describing and I know it is painful. You might want to contact your doctor or therapist, too. You sound really down in the "black pit" at least that's what I call it. Hope you get better soon.

Hi, twigg, everything you wrote(except the pets thing) describes how I am feeling, I can`t really offer advice on that basis, except to say hold on, try to be strong and a host of other cliches, I can`t concentrate when I`m depressed, I hope you feel better soon,you should get good advice on here, good luck, Dionysius.

Hi! You hit the nail on the head for how I'm feeling. I have no advice myself, but music seems to help me a bit. It's nice to know someone is experiencing the same, because now I know I'm not alone & there is someone who understands.

Thanks for the replies.

I've took some diazepam for the anxiety, but I've not got anything to lift my mood. I'm trying to listen to music and keep my mind occupied but everything feels so negative it's horrible.

Is there anyone you can chat with? Even if only for a few minutes. When I'm in my low points, I always shun the company of others. But, talking with or even texting someone can be a distraction from my own pain and gives me a little pick me up. I believe we evolved to connect.

If you have a dog- maybe taking the dog for a walk would help. Getting outside is good.

Do you have a doctor you can call?
