Extremely depressed feeling hopeless

I had a terrible day I'm extremely depressed things just seem to get worse and worse no signs of them ever getting better I just don't know what to do

Practicing mindfulness when I'm feeling doom & gloom is the most helpful technique. For instance, I think about right NOW. Enjoy this very moment. What can I do to feel okay? Sometimes, coloring helps. Or, listening to the opposite mood music. Imagining myself in the mountains or at the beach, and putting all effort into imagining as much as possible: how the air feels, sunshine; hearing water trickling through the nearby brook or waves crashing down on the sand; hearing birds chattering, pine needles crunching as I walk and pinecones falling down every minute or so; sights; how things feel as I touch them (cold water, sand or dirt, rocks or shells; etc.

It only takes about 5 minutes or so, and my stress level drops considerably in that time. Then, I just keep doing it over and over as long as I need to escape dark impulses. It really does help me a lot.

Just keep trying. Things will get better, and then you can take up current stressors from a clear state of mind. I'd also advise you to talk with a T about the issues hounding you: past, present, and future. let them help you work through things. Best wishes sent your way.

Dear The Grey Wolf,

I hope you are WELLLLL~

What makes you feel depressed?

Dont forget that we all here!

Everything will pass...tomorrow is a brand new day!!

I am the same as you grey wolf. For years anyone i have told how I feel might offer things will get better. Unfortunately they have not. Year after year. Of depression. Something will come up? It hasn't for me. I don't actually know why I am even posting this. Right now I know that I am being unhelpful and negative. Its just frustration I suppose that after all these years its just the same or worse. I can't take much more.

I used to use music as a form of escapism still do I would put on something and pretend like I was something else entirely could be another person or some type of animal anything from a world leader I've actually pretended to be Theodore Roosevelt and few times I see the quote. I would use the music as a therapeutic release it doesn't work anymore not for sad feelings anyway it does seem to help a bit with the violent ones. It seems like everybody says it will get better and it just gets worse I know that I'm getting worse and I'm getting to where I'm scared of myself. The last good day I had was like 16 years ago when I was a little kid and even then most days were bad. Nothing seems to work anymore I tell my mom I need help but she doesn't listen try to talk to her and she always has to change the subject and talk about herself and some story from her childhood or she just gets mad at me. My sister doesn't believe in mental health issues she just thinks people want attention which I don't I hate when I'm the center of attention. I think sometimes that it can't get any worse but yet life always seems to prove me wrong.

What doesn't make me depressed would be shorter. There is nothing good about me I'm not skilled at anything don't possess any good traits everyone says I'm nice and sweet but that is it and I don't think I really am. I can't seem to do anything right its like my family says I break anything I touch. The world depresses me I'm becoming more and more misanthropic and more angry as time goes on.

Yea we feel the same way I wish I could say something that would make you feel better but I don't know anything myself. It seems like the entire world is against me.

ugh I think it's just one of those days - and it's November... I've been feeling depressed today too..
'nice and sweet' is a lot... as for breaking things, maybe some people have to do that too, so that the economy revolves?? (though I prefer things to get mended than thrown and new bought) There have been 'destroyer gods' in many mythologies... maybe you can relate to that?
I've been a bit clumsy too, so I can relate...

I'm hoping things will get better soon!!

((hugz))

Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone has their positive side as well as the negative. Sometimes if we're depressed it's real hard to see the positive side. I know I did when I was depressed. Hang in there.

I hope your depression gets better soon.

Hi, Grey Wolf!
I don't know if I have already asked you this question in the AvPD forum but, have you got the opportunity to see a doc by yourself?
The fact that relatives don't understand that you need help gets the hell out of me.

Another possibility could be talking with a school concellor and that (s)he talks to your mum.

I understand how you're feeling so I know there is nothing I can say that makes you feel better. Only that rest if you need it and then, when you have some strenght do something you enjoy and can make you go out this state.

A hug!

I don't break things on purpose just seems to happen when something is around me I have to pick it up and mess with it I don't even know I'm doing it most of the time and I always seem to break it I'm not trying to. Its not one of those days I feel like this everyday and November or December doesn't depress me anymore than any other month of the year I get more stressed out and worried about giving presents but other than that nothing.
