My Brain Flew Out the Window.

Yea my brain flew off somewhere. I think that's the worst part of being depressed. No power of concentration whatsoever. I love to read and find it a great comfort.. but can I read right now? NO....dammit.

I can't even read a post on this forum that's longer than two paragraphs! (hee hee, I hugged myself, I guess that's progress)

I have a low grade headache that's just hovering over me like a cloud of doom. I have an art class today and I'm going to force myself to go. Maybe I will be able to express myself non verbally through dark and angry colors. I'm going to start a new canvas today just for this reason.

Why does depression hurt so f**king much!?!? I feel like I got dragged behind a truck, then got beat with a bag of oranges.

Good for you for pushing yourself to go to art class again! I don't know how you muster up the determination when feeling this low, but it's inspiring.

I would buy that painting ! I'm sorry you are feeling so depressed today and good for you still making it to art class . keep posting here . I hope you feel a little soon.

I have a lot of problems on focusing, as well. I can relate..

Hugs. Yeah, sometimes the harder you try (to concentrate), the worst it gets. Let go of worrying about it, if you can.

Yes, concentration, and for me memory in particular. I actually thought I had dementia brewing at one point but it seems I don't luckily (had lots of tests) just depression and GAD does that to your brain as well.

I get that. Concentration, that is. Lack of, I should say. Oh dear.

(You should see my posts on a bad day before I edit them)

Seriously, my normal depression is lack of interest and motivation to even try. But when I get overwhelmed, I can't concentrate or make decisions even when I want to. It's not so much like my brain has flown the coop as it just sits down in a funk and says, "Nope. --- Can't. Wouldn't if I could. Go bother someone else. Not open for business. La la la, I can't hear you.".

Sorry to hear you're sharing in the "fun".

At least the concentration problem isn't permanent.

Sorry, but "bag of oranges" of all things.

Yeah, I don't know these days whether it's the depression that hurts so much or that I've lost so much of my life to it. The human capacity to hurt is phenomenally ... depressing.

Would you be willing to put it up in your album when it's done? If it's not too personal, that is.

Yes I will put it in my album
