this morning i woke up, and i felt so BLAHH

it was almost like i didnt exist, but i did. i was just there. my head was spinning..i was so emotionless. but the feeling made me want to just end things right there. this is the third time this has happened in the past couple days. and when i get to this point i freak out and never know what to do. today i just laid in bed for a little and finally i felt a little better. but does this happen to anyone else? anyone have suggestions of what to do with i get this feeling? ahh

oh boy can i !!! before i went on meds i never knew what frame of mind i would wake up to. i'd go to bed feeling fine and wake up in a dark hole all by myself.
(((IMG))) i forget, do you take meds and see a T/pdoc? if you don't feel better by tomorrow i'd give one of them a call. sometimes it just requires a med tweaking to get you through this rough spot.
ok here i go again with my simple solution ...but exercise really does help depression. it takes you out of yourself, relaxes the body,mind, and spirit, and actually gives us more energy. it's more helpful if you do it each day.
but the best news about this natural but effective approach is that exercise "wakes" up the feel good chemicals in our mind..for real..
keep us posted and of course you can pm me anytime if you'd like. we care thanks for letting us know what's going on with you.

Been there done that

hang in there, talk to your therapist about it but remember
life is more than what you're feeling right now and you CAN have access to that in the future... remember the cookie jar and the baby that's trying to crawl

oh yeah I can relate...
I'm so sorry you are having a rough time right now.

Meds to stabilize me followed up by a commitment to;
walk, walk, walk
eat better food--sticking my finger in the peanut butter jar did not constitute a meal
stay in therapy

I stopped having those awful feelings of emptiness along with wondering where the heck I was...
It took some time, but it did get a whole lot better.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are

I agree that exercise helps! I just got myself motivated to start again and I am beginning to feel a little better every day. I am hoping to lose the weight that the antidepressant meds have put on me. The YMCA in my area has a program for people who can't afford a membership (like me, since I'm on disability) to do 40 hours of volunteer work and you get one free year membership for your family. I didn't think I could deal with the volunteer work, but that has been awesome therapy as well. It's something that forces me out of bed other than seeing the therapist!.
Thanks for this!

((Img103)) This definitely happens to me and it is no fun at all. When this happens to me I listen to music or do something else that when I'm not in that mood usually evokes some kind of emotion. I agree also that exercise helps. It gets me to feel something. I am sorry you are having this feeling and I am thinking of you!
Thanks for this!

Oh yeah I have totally been there myself!

Try doing something to take your mind off of things -- take a drive and listen to your favorite music, talk to your doctor or a friend and tell them how you are feeling, go for a walk to clear your mind. (this stuff usually helps me)

Thanks for this!

Sometimes I am really scared to get out of the bed. I think this is because it means I have another day to think about the things that depressed me the day before. Another day to to start all over again in the same situation. Then on other days I just won't even get out of bed. It's easier that way.
