Last thread had reached over 100 pages so here is a brand new one

[PsychNitrous]

I don't know why, but every little thing keeps spiraling me into crisis. The last stupid thing I had to deal with was labeled as "annoying", which is so accurate. It was annoying, and just that, nothing worse. So why did it make me cry for an hour and SH? That was such an extreme response, why did I go so overboard for something stupid?

Try not to be too hard on yourself. I can have extreme reactions to things other people might see as minor. If we’re nor feeling so good, that can happen.

I’m going into my first nightshift in a few hours. I’m not that well rested actually. Hope it goes well. I have to be trained so I’ll be there with another person tonight.

I don't understand if it's just me, but I've noticed that when I try to offhandedly talk about a memory especially to my kids, it feels like it's new, cute & sometimes silly & I try to keep it light.
Then as soon as it's out for me to see these horrible feelings take over. Ruin the memory, flood me with overwhelming sadness & dread & take my breath away.
The nice memory is now tainted with a part of me that runs around with a blk marker & ruins things.
I hate it!

Ceara, good luck with the new doggie.

I'm experiencing my usual first half of the day extreme tiredness/sleepiness. Maybe I need to just make myself get rolling.

Since 2011, I've had tinnitus. It recently got much worse. My PCP says it's probably age-related sensorineural hearing loss. It's worst in bed. I wish I could turn back time. Well . . . . not really.

It's so hideously embarrassing when you double book yourself. I thought I was alive and not depressed, spent Sunday and Monday a bit down (napped nearly all day, yikes), and suddenly I check my schedule for tomorrow and found out last Friday, I double booked myself for tomorrow.

How is this happening? I hate it when I forget things like this. Where is my brain at?

[Rose76]

I'm depressed.

[MatBell]

Came back from my first shift. I’m so sad and lost.

[Rose76]

My mind is a mess right now.

Woke up at 4 a.m. Can't get back to sleep.

Is there a forum or whatever for seasonal affective disorder? Hittin me pretty hard

feeling quite low.

I honestly thought that giving myself a break from looking at homes (their for giving me a day to relax) would be a good thing.

but no... it really isn't

sat here watching some rubbish welsh drama while stuffing my face with chocolate

(so the drama maybe isn't "rubbish", but it is pretty bad)

you can post about it here in depression

for now their's no subforum (I believe their should be, and maybe it's worth posting in comunity feedback about it)

but this forum is for all types of depression, so go ahead and say what you need to say

Working my way out of this...I think...I've learned that exercise and hydration are both very important to my well being.

I feel sad and broken, the work has piled up, everything seems insurmountable. You spend two days in bed and everything falls apart....

I can't even write an email....

Sounds like what I go through with anxiety and co-morbid depression. Some days even the smallest task seems unattainable. Don't beat yourself up, it's not real and it's not you. It's a disproportionate neurochemical response and it will pass.

Can you dial back and offload some of those responsibilities? You can only do what you can do, no more.

[East17]

How many times can one do the "same **** different day" thing...?
Wish the brain had an off switch.

From nothing and no one. Bouts of amnesia should be expected.

Don't worry, be happy

So my newly adopted dog and I are finally settling in and getting a routine. I've been doing research on how to acclimate a newly adopted dog, and am following the advice and it's working. She seems to already be getting over her separation anxiety and isn't barking or crying much when I have to leave her for short periods. (Very important for my neighbors' sanity.) I've also been reading up on her particular mix-breed and have gotten a lot of helpful information.

Yesterday I ended up in a bad mood and don't really know why. I went from being depressed to being really-irritated-by-small-things-other-people-did. I feel fine now.

Hope everyone is hanging in there.

Lots of anxiety today! I got a Jewish New Year card from some old friends, honestly former friends. Their family is so perfect in the pictures, even though I of all people should know it's not that way in real life. I think this made me depressed. But I've got to keep going. Everyone has their own distinctive problems!

[Rose76]

I got into a bad state of mind. Just black . . . depressed. It won't last forever. This isn't permanent. I'm going back to sleep.
