Feel like I can't focus on anything useful but then don't even try and then feel guilty. It's such a bad cycle.

An up! I just discovered something that changed a painful belief that wasn't true.

I wished that I knew how to do that.

Sometime I feel like that myself.

Buffy01 · Aug 21, 2021 at 03:38 PM

I been feeling really depressed again.

As always, I cleaned my place this morning like I always have. Nothing much after the cleaning and lunch ended. I feel like the part on my face that was worked on three weeks ago is looking much better. I'll be very happy when I can have my old routine back, even though my social life won't be any better by then.

Sometime cleaning up just a small space of a room is enough to help us feel better. I’m glad that you are feeling better.

I got out of the hospital yesterday. been feeling pretty good sicne I have been out- yesterday was a little stressfull unpacking things and getting re-aquainted with my rooteen, but today I'm okay- slighlty annoyed that my new lion king dvd is blue-ray, and my dvd player can't play those, but I re-ordered it on prime and the new one's coming tomorrow.

I made sure it was the regular one this time

I was anxious for several weeks then it turned into depression. I started taking Wellbutrin and stopped taking the depakote and Risperdal a few weeks ago because I feel like they were making me feel more depressed. I miss my mania because at least I'm motivated to do things like eat, get out of bed, shower and care about life. My hope is for the Wellbutrin to work. I'm on day 3 with the 150mg and my Dr. increased it to 300mg so I'll start that tomorrow.

Another busy day today. Woke up feeling anxious and depressed because of having to go to the dentist. I didn't sleep well last night. Well, it's halfway over now; at least the worst half of it is over. Glad to get that part out of the way. I have to come back in two weeks but it wont be as intense as today. I got through it today alright and it wasn't that bad.

After that I worked on my state income tax return and finished it in rough draft. The figures are pretty weird from what I'm doing, so I'm planning to get some help with it. My W-2 didn't come in the mail today as I was expecting it. There's something else I'm looking forward to in the mail and it didn't come either. Felt bummed out about it. Did some light errands in the afternoon and went on a small bike ride. I would have gone on a longer one but didn't feel like it.

Depression does not seem to want to relent one bit. Awakened rather early today (4 AM) and then could not get back to sleep. So goes the day thus far...It would be nice to have some relief; the real relief is that it is Friday, but it's a small consolation as the depression has me in such a state that I just want to be alone when I get home...I do wish all of you well in your struggle against this terrible and invisible demon.

I hear you. I can’t sleep either. I hate feeling depressed.

Deilla · Aug 13, 2021 at 12:38 PM

I'm not doing well. Too many disappointments. I'm mainly disappointed in myself.

will19 · Aug 13, 2021 at 05:43 PM

Was busy in the morning with the usual Friday stuff - laundry and shopping. In the afternoon I did a small errand and picked up something I wanted that was hard to find, so that made me feel a little bit better.

Did not sleep well last night, even though I went to bed just shortly after 9 PM. Felt very depressed for most of the day and anxious with imagining how terrible things are going to be for me in the future. I go through periods when all I can think about are problems that will happen in the future that I probably would not be able to handle.

I'm still not able to do my exercises because of the restriction. I really miss it and it has helped me. Maybe soon the restrictions will be lifted.

Sometime all we can do just a little and that could just be doing errands or just taking a shower. It will get better. I promise you.
