I pushed myself to accomplish stuff around the house, laundry, cleaning, plus paying bills and catching up with e-mails. Lately I have been having a hard time controlling my depression. It is definitely controlling me these days. Lack of energy, not wanting to socialize, blaming myself for things I've done wrong in the past, missing the hundred or so people I lost over the years, in particular my parents. Typical depression stuff, at least for me. My medication has been bumped up, but doesn't seem to be helping. My primary physician and therapist are convinced my depression is more chemical than circumstantial. However I have many triggers like some bad health news, and a significant loss of a close family friend that put me in a spiral. My therapist seems pretty concerned which concerns me. I'm doing all my homework, but he understands my depression and has said many times if I told him I wasn't depressed with the plateful of issues I have, he would have a real concern. So I guess I am officially depressed. Sometimes I don't know if it is the PTSD I suffer that throws me over the edge. So many questions, trying to accomplish something daily and seem to keep up. But I feel worse than I have in a long time. I hate it! Sorry to whine, and this post is probably under the wrong thread. Not sure where the "Post Anything Thread" went. Hope everyone else is having a better day and can see hope in their future. You're not whining. You're just venting. Hope you feel better soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzaleaFlame Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I went for a jog this morning. I try to go every morning as it makes me get out of my apartment and helps clear my head. I lost my job 5 months ago and struggling to find another. I'm at a very low dip in the depression rollercoaster right now, so really need inspiration to keep me positive! This forum is great :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin2013 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I went to the gym and worked out about half an hour. I've been running up and down the stairs as sometimes the instructor for our class makes us do that and it will ultimately give me better stamina. Also did some planks, then I did another set of them at home. Anyway, I had to take a shower right after working out. I was dripping sweat. Shower = good. Then I ate lunch I brought books back to the library, only a day late. I bought gas for the car. Then I bought groceries. And I've been making dinner. After that, I don't know what will happen.

Sir Robin Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Does working 9 hours count? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Robin Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I got in a workout too. Then I went to a "benefit" for some guy I don't even know that turned out to be just another night of hanging around at a bar so I didn't stay too long. I hate bars. They're loud, crowded and dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I visited my eldest sister. I washed my van. I went to Starbucks and spoke to a staff member Kennedy. I had coffee at second cup coffee. Spoke to Thomas. I met my friend Tim for coffee. I wrote a letter to my late mom as suggested by my therapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wontonforce Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Yesterday I made it back to my university and wrote the exam for a course. I'm now 1 research paper away from finishing. Whenever I go back there I get intense anxiety (whatever made me snap started there in my last semester and the next day is always terrible...) But I'm glad I didn't fully drop it and can get it behind me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1i11ian Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Believe it or not, I have been doing a lot. The house inspector was coming so I actually really cleaned. Now I don't want to move for fear it will get messed up again which, of course, it will. Why does housework have to be repeated so often? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
