Here we go again...

limegreen3 September 7th, 2021

Everytime I find myself back in this position I die a little more inside. Why am I here yet again! I feel my mind imploding on itself...just constant comparison and low self esteem ugh. I dont think people understand the toll depression has on the body.


Been sleeping way too much lately, but when I'm awake my body is in overdrive just trying to hold everything together, and then I end up exerting so much energy I'm tired again after a couple of hours.

Hi! How are you doing now? Yes I agree we underestimate the toll of mental health challenges. Our brain uses a lot of energy and it can be utterly exhausting when it is working hard. Depression, anxiety, ruminating... Yes you do need more sleep to help recover. ❤️

@limegreen3 I feel you, its hard the way it keeps coming back year after year. Even though I've been taking vitamin D, using an SAD lamp, eating well, avoiding stress, I can still feel my SAD returning now its autumn! 😒

I hope you are managing to find some coping methods or seeking help. Prioritise your needs and your health. You are not alone ❤️

Sometimes its alot to take in all at once, sort of a overwhelming over stimulation of the mind that can almost take my breath away. I've found micro managing of your tasks in a way that you take on a little bit at a time, and recognize that those are yet again tiny victories. You can have the motivation to tackle more many victories as your day progresses.

I can relate. I got a dog so it forced me to go outside. Or else I wouldn't even go outside.

@limegreen3 Hey

I'm in the exact same position as you. Just when I thought I could stand I fall again and I feel so bad because it's like I'm not making any progress. It's a tough life

I feel you, I'm basically at a point when I'll speak to anyone to avoid my thoughts it's never ending all this
