I am going through the exact same thing- Been sad since Monday…having trouble with the boyfriend. :( I have no appetite..

everyone has days like this

i’ve got work to do, tons of it, and i just can’t because of my mood….always so tired as well…

Okay, maybe this isn’t for everybody and don’t take my advice if you think it isn’t right for you, but have you let yourself have a good, big, gut wrenching cry? I have been holding on to so many hard-to-face problems and last night I just gave in and let myself sob and sob. it didn’t help immediately and certainly didn’t solve anything practically, but it did kick me out of the horrible depression I have been in for the last week.

els is right. Having a cry can be so helpful, as long as you can stop crying at some point. The mere act of crying can release endorphins which actually help you feel better. Other things that do this are exercising and eating chocolate (dark especially). Try these things along with talking to someone can help break you out of a blue funk.

Yes, the can’t stop crying thing is just horrible, but still, it releases something inside. Getting out and exercising is always good. I’ve had to drag, drag, drag, myself out at times, but normally feel better afterwards.

Mmmmmm chocolate.

well i haven’t been on the site but saw your post and i’m happy your feeling better.

I know how you feel i have been there many times. Just concentrate on one day at a time. Wake up and have a routine .. think about what your going to do that day. Also concentrate on posotive things in your life because there are probably lots of things just you cant see it right now because of this feeling.

Heres an interesting take on depression:

also, Melatonin, and Valerian (both can be bought at Walmart) can help with sleep, so can calms forte, also bought there.

Blessings…

What helps me is just getting outside and taking a walk. Commit to walking for at least 20 minutes and let your thoughts just be taken by the wind. I would suggest a yoga class or some guided meditation. Also buy the audiobook Getting Unstuck by Pembra Chandron (sp?) but it’s amazing. Good luck to you.

Smile. Think of how important you are and of all the wonderful things you do for other people. Go outside. Smile at someone. Say thanks to a shop assistant even if you just buy gum. Help an old lady across the street. Tell someone that they look great. Pick some wild flowers and put them in a vase on your kitchen window. Reply to someone on help.com!!! Doing something good for someone always makes me feel better. Smile!

Hey I’ll talk to you? :)
