Ba3inga Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) I've finally managed to get some sleep. I feel all floppy now. I didn't wake up til 2pm earlier. I would love to figure out how l can stop that adrenalin flowing. I can sort all the other symptoms really well, just that one last bit.

Dolphin2013 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 @Ba3inga congrats on getting some sleep! As a person with depression, I'm addicted to adrenalin, so there are times when I should try to stop the flow but often I don't want to. I did an early-early shift at work and had enough energy after to exercise. After that I came home and showered and then had to sleep for an hour. That hour was really good. Very healing. But now I don't know what I want to do with the rest of the day. Grocery shopping, I guess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if that's true good sleep is rare. A lot of nights for me would be considered naps instead of a night's sleep. For the brain of someone with an addictive personality every upcoming day feels like Christmas morning as a kid coming up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epictetus Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Feeling better after being on the Depression Forums for awhile today. That and some exercise has helped my mood. I want to send hugs to anyone who needs one today! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I need to do more exercising. I get lazy though and do the diet way which I honestly hate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it helps? Exercise? I think it depends on my mood most of the time for me personally. If my day starts off in a bad mood, even exercise won't help. I have to be in a good mood to exercise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "herbal remedy" has greatly improved my outlook and reduced my anxiety to almost nothing. I haven't turned into Mr. Sunshine, but I'm at least feeling reasonably good. LOL JD! You are our Mr. Sunshine :) !!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like me you want to leave your life and never come back to it again. I'm very burned out myself. All the positive things I do in life and I still feel like I'm in hell for the most part. There is a lot of truth to that. If I'm honest with myself, I know I want a break from the same old sh!t. But that's not practical. I'm nailed down with responsibilities. I should be thankful for what I have, but I'm getting old and very weary. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does help some days but it's like every other addictive thing you can get burned out on it and need to take a break for a couple of days or you will send things in the other direction and begin to feel bitter. If I'm being honest I wake up every day in a bad mood and I drink coffee and it makes me feel better. Then it's off to the races. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think l do, as I was very addicted to smoking, well remembered. That wired christmas buzz, is good way of putting it, but it only seems when my anxiety kicks in thank goodness. I swear l feel it charging through my veins like an electrical current. Hope you all of you having a hard day finds some relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lot's of money saved up and a credit card that is fully paid off. I think that's the first time I have been able to say that in my life. I'm pretty sure you know what my brain is telling me but I won't. I'll be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you all of you having a hard day finds some relief Yeah I feel the same way especially when I'm feeling manic. I'm so glad you said was very addicted to smoking. I quit smoking a long time ago and it was very hard to quit. I was to the point where I was smoking half smoked cigarettes off the street and out of ash trays. I can't believe I was that hooked on them. I don't even think about them now though. Most days are good days for me at this point. I don't think I crave anything every day anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy just how addictive they are. I quit for my son, l used nrt and was addicted to that for eight years, then smoked again. I then went cold turkey and haven't looked back. They say cold turkey is close to impossible, but for me being so addicted it was easy after 2/3 day. We did good ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it, it took all day. I had 3 years of papers on my table and more in boxes. Now I'm getting anxiety that I put something important in the garbage. I should probably do this on new years, every year. Strewth you really went for it kudos. I get anxious over forms. I had a special hate for them prior to life with anxiety, but never occurred to me paperwork and forms could cause a trigger, l thought it was just me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
