This is the time of year everyone is celebrating the new year, but I just feel like staying in bed with the sheets over my head and not coming out. I've been off for four days and today is the first time I went out of my apartment. I was supposed to go spend the night with my family and then spend the day with them tomorrow, but instead I just spent most of today in the bed alone. I am not looking forward to tomorrow even though I love being with my family. I have so many things to be thankful for such as starting a new job almost a month ago and getting out of the negative work environment I was in.
Why do I feel like this??? Is anyone else going through this? |

Yes, sometimes I don't go out for a week straight. I myself
think the med's are not working. My pysch will see me in Feb. to see if the med's need to be changed. I also have been having crying spells. Today, I took a nap at 4 p.m. and work up at 9 p.m. I thought it was 5 a.m. (ha Ha) didn't have my glasses on. Hope you feel better soon, enjoy your rest. You will need it when you go back to work. Happy, healthy, New year!!!

hi pink, yes i do know the feeling. it's a rough time of year and it feels even worse when you think everybody else is happy and stuff like it feel we are supposed to be. sometimes "sheet therapy" as we like to call it in my depression group, is a necessary thing. hang in there...

For me, it doesn't even have to be a holiday or rhyme or reason...just some days are easier spent with myself rather than fighting anxiety to go out on my own...IWhen I am with Moggles, I can go out and laugh, most times, but if I don't have to go out while he is at work, I often don't...maybe that is something I should work on??? I dunno. ~ melanie

I've been on break from teaching for over almost two weeks now, and I haven't been doing much of anything but sleep and rest. This isn't like me, but I did really over-extend myself last semester by teaching an extra class, and I was still having a lot of pain from my broken ankle in the Spring. I will be glad when we are through today -- the last of the big holidays. Then I will know if I am suffering from holiday malaise, or if it is something else.
