Do you ever feel this is all there is to your life? I have been anxious for so long. Now that it is subsiding the depression is looming greater and greater. I am beginning to lose interest in those things that usually give me gratification. I feel a sense of simply going through the motions.

Do you others ever go through this? Is there something I can do to head this off before it worsens?

I try to keep active and busy when I feel this way. I find that if I keep moving and keep doing the things I usually do, my emotions will catch back up to me. Usually they do. It’s not always easy and sometimes I’ve really had to push myself. I don’t have all the right answers though. There are other important issues to consider also. If necessary, you can see your doctor and a therapist as well. Sometimes we need help from others too.

Yes, sometimes I feel like that.

Do you notice anything that triggers these feelings? If you can identify and notice them, you might be able to manage it a little better.

Yep, I get that way a lot. The only way I've found to work against that is if I catch myself early enough that I can be busy doing what I like before the negative feels take over. If I let them take over, I will get nothing done, even things I like to do.
