Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?

@Lostlovetx72

Thank you for being so honest and up front with how you're feeling. These can be three of the hardest things to endure. Would you like to talk about any of these things?

@Dukadukes

Sometimes we need a good cry in the middle of the night. I'm proud of you for letting all of that out; sometimes it's easier in the presence of a loved one, even if they don't quite understand just yet.

@Blueberree

I'm glad you had a great day! Sometimes something as simple as a joke can be a massive trigger, especially if it's about an insecurity or something you're particularly sensitive about. There's nothing wrong with being upset; I'm just sorry that it ended happening on your day that you were feeling great.

You're amazing, and more beautiful days are coming your way, I'm sure of it.

@Theuglyduck

If you are comfortable with doing so, you could absolutely try. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery on your friend's part, as it can be so draining for all parties involved. Sending all my love your way, and remember to keep us updated, lovely.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this; depression is consuming, it's powerful, it likes to take control and leave the person it's affecting feeling down, low, worried, upset.

Just always remember, that you have depression. Depression does not have you. It may change the way you look at things, but down to your core, you are still fundamentally you, and you are wonderful. You're in a great place; feel free to be yourself, and reach out if you're feeling lonely (I find that group support is especially good for this).

We love you, little flower. Keep us updated.

@Theuglyduck

That's fantastic news! I'm really glad to hear that, honestly. I hope he ends up taking his meds and being careful to listen to what the doctor says. How are you feeling right now? Does everything feel a little bit lighter? :D

@tbirecovery2013

It's amazing that you're recovering, I'm sending all of my love and good feelings your way. Sometimes people who are close to us can feel different depending on how we're feeling. Have you tried talking to him about this, or do you think it would be better suited to wait and see if it clears up on its own?

@Allisonoseguera

Depression can really make us feel like this; sometimes, it tricks us into thinking there's danger ahead, even when there's no proof of this. I'm sorry that it's having this effect on you.

Today, if you have some time, perhaps write down some lovely things; things that are certain and static, that you're proud of. I find that keeping a gratitude journal can remind me that there are some things that are just never changing, and that could absolutely bring about some good feelings, decreasing uncertainty.

Regardless, keep us updated, okay? You're so very important, and we love you here.

Not every day is good, but there is good in every day. Even if tomorrow is not as fantastic as this one is (which, I'm really glad it was!!), there will still be good. I hope tomorrow is just as fantastic; you deserve it.

@Theuglyduck

Based on what you said, he may be home soon. c: It's hard now, but in a few days, it'll feel a lot less hard, you know? I'm glad you went to class, and I hope things feel easier for you soon
