Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
I am fine. I don't know why I feel like crying or dying or both, but my stomach really hurts. Like I feel like throwing up. I'm fine though like seriously I have nothing to be sad about right now.

Like I've had another successful day hiding behind my smile.
I'm feeling super conflicted. I don't know who I am anymore and it's making my depression worse. I just over think everything I say and have said. Everything that just spews out of my mouth is just not me. I don't know where the real me went.
I was kind, shy, and gentle... Now I'm just this crazy monster. Everyone always asks me what happened to me, they just call me psychotic.
I hate the word 'psycho.' So much. It's the one thing that always sets me off. There are two people who can say it because I know they're my closest friends and they're joking.. But when other people say it, it just doesn't work for me. It drives me crazy. I over think, cry, and dwell on it. I do not go well with the word 'psycho.'
I'm starting to have nightmares about suicide again...I hate how I can't escape from depression, even in my own dreams
I am feeling very low today... worthless... like nothing. My husband has a new job at a bar where he works all night alongside attractive women. I feel jealous and like he will leave me for them since I am not good enough. So then I am clingy and push him, which actually makes me feel even more worthless because I don't want to be that person... (Just venting a bit)
I feel like everything I do is wrong. I screw up everything, and even when I realize that, people never cease to tire of condemning me for it. I feel like all of my efforts to combat these emotions are futile, because every time I feel like I've made progress, I wake up the next day and realize I've taken three steps back and I get tossed into the vicious cycle again. I feel worthless, and stressed out, and incapable of handling everything life throws in my direction.
I was feeling okay until I had a fight with my bf 😓 now I feel like absolute shit and I just don't wanna wake up in the morning
I was feeling low all day. I feel left out from my friends so I haven't left my room all day. I'm half way across the world from my family and now I'm getting really homesick almost 3 months in. My care package isn't here yet. I've been smiling at my friends saying I'm happy they got their packages, when really I'm insanely jealous. I feel lonely a lot. I'm too afraid to pursue the two romantic interests I have because I can't see anyway how they would be interested in me back. All my past relationships have ended with feeling like I've been kicked in the chest until my chest cavity caves in. But even through everything I think deep down under all the sadness... I really do want everyone around me to be happy. But maybe my happiness is impossible.
I am feeling low today. I had this meeting at work on Friday "you aren't meeting your potential". Now all I can think about is how I am failing. The strangest part I am so upset at myself for not doing my best but every time I try to do better I am overwhelmed with this fear of failing and do nothing. It is like I am stuck in this stupid failure paradox.
So all I do is lie in bed and worry.
