I was feeling pretty good the past couple of days. Thats all coming to an end. I can feel my mood swinging into depression. I even wrote a blues song
Just feeling super low. How is your day going? Maybe you can cheer me up with some inspiration

I’m back on the coffee 
. It gives me a boost during the day but makes me a bit depressed at night when I get the crash after the buzz. I just have one cup a day.
Do you drink a lot of caffeine?
I’m sorry you’re so lonely. That’s tough. Do you have family members you can talk to?
It gets better. I was depressed for decades but my life is good now. I’m happily married. I have a few friends. So my point is that it does get better. Hang in there.
Do you have any interests or hobbies?
I have 2 cups at 6am. Then i dont usually drink it for the rest of the day. Sometimes i might get a red bull around 10am. I have depression as part of my Sza. I am the depressive type.

I like to draw, write, play piano, play guitar, paint, and play video games. But honestly the lack of joy i feel in anything keeps me from doing anything. And my anxiety. Im always nervous that ill get paranoid doing something

My dad is home with me but he is useless to talk to about how im feeling. He doesnt understand and never says anything back. I talk to a therapist once a week.

Are you able to take an antidepressant? Or are you already on one? You might need something to get you through this funk
Im already on one. I have pretty severe depression. My mood goes from content to really depressed. Im rarely ever really happy.

Antidepressant used to work well for me now I have depression and anxiety that doesn’t seem to be treatable ever since menopause. I got lots scary breakthrough symptoms which is what the depression and anxiety are about
I’m sorry your AD isn’t helping you @pasteyface. Maybe try a new one? I’ve needed ADs from age 16 to now. I’m 45. After a while I notice they fail and I have to either increase the dose, or switch to a new med.
Ive been on this one for a year. Ive tried 8 different ones in 3 years time. This one is the best. It keeps me from feeling like i want to die. I used to think about walking out in front of a semi truck. But i dont think like that anymore. So its working. I think part of my SZA is major depression. So with a AD its like minor depression. I do coping techniques all day to lessen it. I just accept the days i feel depression setting in and realize its just part of who i am.

You seem to have a lot of desire in you. So you have to overcome the depression so that you can unleash it.
I’m glad overall it helps you. I’m especially glad you’re not suicidal anymore
