And I just sat there, unable to get out of it. I have a list of things I think about to get me out of a funk (my dog, a good memory, a funny joke, etc) but nothing was working. It made me realize how helpless I am to this stupid sickness.

Awe, ((((hugs)))) I also hold alot in until I have a blow and its so disappointing when I loose it. Financial stress is definately a big factor as well as other triggers which I try to let slide but sometimes I am just a babbling idiot and Skippy is right we are are own worse critic so don't dwell on things hopefully you are feeling more in the groove today. Take care.

I now only realised that I did not take my med.today,which explains a lot.
Had you not posted I would have suffered more.
You never realise what impact you may have.

This actually made me feel a bit better. I'm glad I posted, I would hate for you to suffer.

Dr.upped my meds.,time will tell.

Good luck Skippy. I don't feel like continuing taking mine as they give me migraines.

Latley Ive been having some dark thoughts tat really scare me.

Im hoping that when my brother arrives on monday things will get better.

Ive been feeling down in the dumps these last couple of days and I dont know why. I just feel really sad for some reason

Aw, gryphon... is your brother still here?

yeah

till the begining of september

I just dont know why im feeling this way though

Did anything happen? You need to do stuff to make you happy and take your mind off of things. I suffer from bouts of depression, mine is due to being ill and having my huge family so close with so many problems. Stress is my enemy. I go on the computer, watch stand up comedy, whatever I can to make me happy. My dog is a big anchor for me, she always makes me happy and takes my mind off things. Just her love and companionship is really warm and helps me when I'm really blue. The doctor perscribed me anti anxiety pills but I do not take them. I put on my ipod, with the loudest, dirtiest, metal I can find and go for a power walk which helps with the anxiety, since I hate going out. I'm a hermit lol

Is there anything we can help you with gryphon to cheer you up or take your mind off the darkness?

Maybe your meds.need adjusting.
DW tells me to count each blessing that I have.
Long walks also help me.
Hope you feel better soon.

You had the unveiling of the gravestone. That"s enough to throw anyone off.

Also, a change to the routine (your brother's visit) can throw things off.

My friend who is dealing with depression says she's having a rough time these days. She normally feels it in late Sept, but because we've gone from +40C temps to a more temperate +25 these days, her body's feeling it.

Her solution (in addition to medication) is exercise & routine. She finds if her routine is thrown off for more than one day, it hits her hard.

Hopefully, you'll feel better soon. :flowers:
