I don’t know, I 've been too sad lately again, 'cos I was left alone, I got fight with all my “friends” from a company I used to have, and they turned out really bad. They have said very bad things about me, like that I victimize myself and I am a zero of society etc. I can’t calm down for two reasons: One is that I am alone again as I used in the past and that hurt very much, and the other one is that I am hurt of all the things they said.
Are you guys and girls sad? I don’t know how to face it, my doctor said I have a deep sadness that triggers my delusions, I think that’s true, but I become sad every day of my life.

I am also sad from time to time. But sadness will pass for me. And then I feel dull again. I wish for dome happiness to us all.

Thanks, @Comatose. I wish that too. I really can’t stand being sad anymore, sometimes I think that something bad will happen to my health, I don’t know about other people, but this happens to me everyday.
My spelling is not ok today. But you understood the message. I’m still under influense of the meds I took yesterday. Not thinking clearly and so sleepy but can’t sleep.

It’s ok, I understand it. I hope you are well.
People’s comments can hurt. Try to keep your guard up. Remember that a lot of other people are doing harm you aren’t doing. It’s not like we’re getting a lot for our illness. It’s kind of like cognitive therapy, only you’re talking back to the voices of other people, not your own. Usually people put other people down because of something lacking in themselves. Look for friends who are understanding. Sometimes I get sad myself and I have to make an effort to block out those negative voices.

Hi, crimby, thanks for your answer, it helped me a lot, but I didn’t understand much of these words, can you explain them to me a bit more?
I totally agree with that, that’s what helped me.
When I say other people are doing harm you aren’t doing I am thinking of these Wall Street and financial executives who award themselves millions of dollars in salary and who are wrecking our economy. There are other examples too - people who use fraudulent tax shelters, businesses that pay little in taxes and who are getting government subsidies. Some people pick on people like us because we are vulnerable.

When I say learn to talk back to the belittling voices of other people I mean tell yourself that these people are often doing things that are worse than you ever thought about doing. It is better to keep thoughts like that to yourself, though. Bullies can escalate their horrible behavior even more when a person tries to talk back to them. It’s ugly, but that’s the way they are. Just tell yourself these people aren’t that great. Otherwise they wouldn’t be putting you down.

Thank you very much for explaining me all these, I find them very helpful and I agree with all of them!
You need to isolate yourself for a while,but not too long.Then get back to being with a group of people,either them or find different group

You are right, Gtx. That’s what I must do. It’s better not to be with them again, but I know others are worst. I am thinking now about who has not treated ever me badly, and I can’t find anyone. That’s why I say people are bad, and then I think I am bad too. Perhaps I am, and perhaps I should forgive the less harmful bullies, idk.

Okay,don’t worry you will be fine,no problem with any of your meds huh?meds still working right?
I don’t have a meds problem, I relapsed, but I 've been ok since yesterday. I don’t think I said anything wrong. I 've increased my dose, but I don’t think I relapsed again.
I suffer from a mood disorder, so I am sad a lot - Its just a matter of riding the waves - cause the sadness eventually goes away.
Eating healthier and less with exercise and of course meds helps with depression

I am in a lot of pain right now. It’s because I was very sad this morning about this guy. A friend of mine told me to stop having contact with him. I must be careful next time. I am always depressed, @Wave, mostly because of the behavior of people, if I was socializing with the right people I am sure the pain would be less. I don’t eat healthy but I think not eating healthy gives me a short enjoyment.
I hope that you feel better soon redrose

redrose, I like your “name.” It reminds me of Rose Red-the name I had with my late sister when she was Snow White or Briar Rose-one of Sleeping Beauty’s names. I will confess Daisies and Daffodils are my favorite flowers. I am a Daisy!
I do hope you feel better. No matter how bad we feel; things do magically improve.
Sometimes; I feel so bad that is it really beyond sadness and depression. I can not describe it really. It is beyond darkness and clouds. There are no stars or the moon. I love the moon and the stars. I feel it in my gut, my bones, my head-all over me. It is pain; but, yet it is beyond even normal pain.
I do pray you feel better. Please try taking a shower or sitting outside in the sunlight or take a walk or watch a good movie. These sometimes work for me. Good luck!

Greykitten, I 'm feeling exactly the same! I had a shower and I ate too much to calm my pain, but the best way to calm this pain is having delusions! No one who hasn’t this illness could understand what we are going through and that hurts even more. Do you have sz or bipolar disorder? Thanks for your answer! However I think I always return back to this unbelievable pain! I can’t be at ease!
I think my life is more or less sad. But I have a great many interests!
