For the past few days it has felt like about half of my brain cells mysteriously disappeared

for the past few days, i've just been wanting to sleep
my body's been warm all over and i just want to nap all the time.
mine's just hormones, though. =/

i think, when i feel a certain way, it makes me feel better knowing other people feel the same sometimes
but i don't actually want anyone to assist me in fixing it.
like dealing with anxiety. it's nice to know other people worry about the same stuff
but god knows i'd never want to join a support group.
maybe that's what you want.

it does feel good to get it out
(hense my thousands of terribly graphic TMI entries)
but i'm not looking for answers when i'm writing it out
i just need to say it.

anyway
things always get better. =)
even if they have to get worse first.

I struggled with depression a lot in recent years. Now it's mostly switched to plain 'ol anxiety. It's true that people don't want to deal with it, even your fellow sufferers who should know better.

I found the best remedy for my blues was adrenaline, but it's difficult to work up the energy to get started (obviously).

Depression and anxiety usually go hand in hand. I only experience anxiety from time to time, and have had a couple of panic attacks stemming from it.

Yeah... you're exactly right, it's SO difficult to try and get energy sometimes. Coffee helps :)

<3<3<3 It'll pass. I just spent the last year of my life feeling that way, and all I can say is - fight it harder than I did, haha. It's so easy to fall into that "Bleh" mindframe and just live there. I wasted a whooole year by not figuring out the source of it. If you want to yak about it, I'm here. <3

If the past few years as LJ friends have taught you nothing else, I hope you know that I understand how depressive periods can feel and what they do to the spirit.

Accept the funk, and then gradually let it go. Forcing yourself to be happy never works. Leave the repression to Freud.
