I feel depressed. have been getting worse over the past months. im so tired and feel so out of it most of the time. cant concentrate properly, cant think properly. feel worthless and like i generlly suck. im so good at pretending things ar fine tho. part of the reason is that sometimes i am fine, someties i feel really gd and then it switches to really low-its hard to explain. during the day i seem to be able to manage it better but at night its been gettin so bad. i jsut want to be able to be left alone without feeling depressed. i hate myself for this and for being depressed cos i havent had anythin really bad happen to me so it not like i even have a reason to be depressed.

Im sorry you are feeling so low. I understand what you mean about the mood changes and the depression just creeping up on you like that. You dont have to have a reason for being depressed. I think thats part of it. As is the being tired and run down and not being able to concentrate. Have you tried anything on that endorphins list I sent you? Something that might be good to try is exercise. It would tire you out physically so it may make it easier to sleep at night? I know this might be a little odd, but something I find that helps me to block out unwanted thoughts and to help slow my mind from racing is that at night I listen to audio books. If you concentrate really hard on every single word the person says you can block everything else out of your head. You can hire them from the library on cassette and cd or get them cheaply on ebay or amazon. That could be worth a go. You can also download some for free. I think neo has the link for some free Dr Who ones if you pm him? Anything is worth a go. Im always only a txt away if you want a chat. Dont forget that. xxxxxxxxx

Thats really great you do that much exercise emoticon Well done emoticon I think having a routine helps too. I know what you mean about reality. Sometimes everything seems like a dream world to me and as if people could walk through me and everyone is made up of this sort of mist, like ghosts and its all a bit grey and just slowed down. Its a bit hard to describe. Is that the sort of thing you mean? Because according to my psych this is dissociation. Im too sure how to come out of it though Im afraid. I think it fixes itself when your mind comes under less stress. I think its a sort of defence mechanism. How are you feeling today? xxxxxxxxx

Yeh its kind of like that. sometimes its like im just watching everythin happen around me and im not part of it but im still observing it if u no what i mean? like im lookin at whats happening but its like im the only one who is? kind of like the other peple are all characters in a game and ur the player? i dont hav a clue what im on about. so hard to describe or explain. Im ok-had a better docs experience this afternoon but still didnt mention psych stuff. might tell u bout it later if ur online. can feel myself gettin lower but im concentrating on my interview prep tonight so hopefully wil keep me focused.

Re: looks like its back to posting here


I just dont get it. I have had a really pleasant weekend with a couple of housemates and actually felt happy. now im low as i was before and feelin really down and i just dont undestand why. Its like a cloud has come over me and i can feel myself gettin more and more depressed. I just dont know what to do. I want to be able to be along with my own mind and be ok but i cant. Im tired of it and when im by myself im having more and more times where i space out and its like there is a mental block and my memory is ****ing up and i keep geting bad thoughts and remembering bad times. I dont no whats happening to me. Im getting low so quickly now.

Thats really good you had a good time with your housemates. Maybe its something you can repeat? I really think it sounds like you do have depression. I know you hate the idea of meds but that's something I am going to suggest again. I think keep up with your exercising as that will help too. Maybe try and socialise and be around people as much as you can. Maybe go to the dr and ask her opinion on what other things you can try to naturally lift your mood? xxxxxx

i don't really have much more to say than scatty, but it's a good idea to see any other avenues to help - therapy/counselling/meds ?
hope you're ok
take care
