Have you ever felt emotionally bad and didn’t know why? Last time I felt like this a few days later I ended up being psychotic. Stress level is high, talked to my drunk sister at ten this morning. That started my head spinning. My daughter is gone for two weeks to Mexico. My aunt is busy and doesn’t have time to talk. It’s the weekend and I really don’t want to bother my tdoc. I bother him all the time. The pdoc just upped my neurontin and switched it to a night dose to help me sleep. Pdoc raised my Invega to 12mg then lowered it to 6mg( had hallucinations ) bumped it up to 9mg all in a week last week. There are a lot of things going on. But I don’t know why I am feeling so bad, ( dark and gloomy). Any of you ever feel that way?
Maybe buy yourself some flowers for the house? that cheers me up. second, music. cheery music could help? Meditation taking slow breaths in and out helps too. good luck !!
The flowers would be a good idea if I had the transportation and the money. The cheery music sounds good! But I don’t think it will break this funk, I will try though, it couldn’t hurt. Maybe I could feel better for a little while.

Try sitting outside in the sunshine maybe? or take a walk.? Spring is about and maybe you could see some flowers that way?
Sorry to hear your having a rough day to say the least. I hope you feel better soon. A nice bath or a calming cup of tea? A nice afternoon nap?
Yes there are times where I go for a long time feeling fine… and then out of the blue… doom and gloom… catastrophic thinking… a sinking feeling of being in deep trouble. I just feel really horrible. I can’t figure out why.
Then out of nowhere it seems, the anxiety starts to hit.
I hope you feel better soon. I’m rooting for you.

What do you do when you feel this way to try to stop it, or is it just inevitable?
stay out of bed. get busy doing something, anything !!
If it’s really bad… I need help… and Xanax.
But I do try to distract myself… remind myself I’m not in danger. I usually sit somewhere where I feel safe and try and let my mind be still.
If all is well and I’m not feeling it… I do have to work at calming my mind. Repeating that I’m Ok… telling myself nothing is wrong or happening. (this is usually when weeding the garden is a good easy task)
Sometimes… it’s not pretty, but I have to ride it out.
sometimes if your feeling bad and you can feel it in the gut it’s easier to just think about where all these emotions or feelings are coming from. A nice cup of tea, talking to family or friends might help.

I was feeling pretty much the way you described, but I did a little exercise, and I feel better.
Thoughs times are the worst…if you can a walk can perk you up a bit.

I feel the same way but I’m on a new medicine. Maybe your body is adjusting to the medicine changes.I went out to eat to try to feel better. It worked for me but I understand you don’t have any money or transportation try looking at TV… a comedy
