AzaleaFlame Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I got so fed up of feeling miserable that I went back to my doctor and asked her to increase my medication from 10mg to 20mg (I use Cipralex) , which she did. It has made so much difference. I feel much more functional and more positive. If anyone else who is suffering can do the same as an option, I think it's well worth it. The hell of depression is a horrible place to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 So far today, I managed to put away some clean dishes and I washed a few more. Now I need to do laundry! It seems like I never get ahead of the game. I think getting ahead is impossible! I will do my best to at least try to keep up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeye998 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yesterday night I tried ASMR in order to fall asleep easier, didn't work. Made me think I'm lonely. Today I made a list about a potential YouTube channel that I am thinking of starting... I'm very afraid of failure though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandolfication Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Today, I made it to work (on time despite traffic), got some work done in the morning, made it to a networking event on time, gave a short impromptu speech, surprisingly without much anxiety, and am not working to finish the work day and prepare for a business meeting tomorrow I have to travel to. That sounds like a good first half the day - why do I still (almost always) feel like sh*t about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small anxiety relief is nothing compared to the real, everyday, constant axiety. We all need to start from somewhere though... :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definately not a case about talent. Drawing is pure hard work for me, since I started teaching myself how to draw in a serious way, like if I was a full time student. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highanxiety Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Tried to get some household stuff done, air conditioners ready for summer, laundry, anything to get my mind off a blow I received at my last counseling appointment Thursday. Finally found one of the best counselors I have ever had. We connect, and he has helped me so much the past few months. He has become my rock in a sense. Such a great guy too. So compassionate. At the end of a very productive session, he told me he had some bad news. He has a rare form of cancer and will be having bone marrow transplant surgery in June. He has been having Chemo the past four Sundays. He will be leaving his practice in June and hopefully be back in a few months but with these things it is hard to be sure. He said he would be referring to another counselor who he thinks would be a good fit. You would not know anything was wrong unless he told you because he was his usual happy and positive self helping me though my issues. I kind of was in shock. My prayers are with him, and we will have about six more sessions. Why do bad things happen to such good people like my counselor? Or to any of us for that matter. So I will miss him and start over with someone new. Life is hard. Very hard. I cried when I got in my car to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 I rested today. I don't often do that. I often do nothing, but this time I allowed myself to do nothing and not feel guilty. Except I really do feel guilty so now I'm trying to find something I can do. Then I'll go back to resting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
