Just because you spent the day in bed doesn’t mean you are a potty-mouth up. I am spending the day in bed, too. Sometimes, we just have bad days. The best you can do is try again tomorrow. Whatever needs to be done will most likely still be waiting. Just ask my laundry!

You’re having a hard day. You need to accept that you’re having a hard day. It is not your identity. You matter. You are significant.
What’s keeping you in bed?

Is pathetic - I just want to sleep 24/7 and not face up to life. I disgust myself
I would try to be more kind to yourself. You’re not a screw up at all. You’re just having a bad day, no sense in making it worse by saying mean and negative things to yourself.

Sorry for the negativity folks. Is good for no one. Thanks for the kind supportive messages
Is there something specific you feel too overwhelmed to do? Are you sleeping or just laying?

Are you diagnosed with depression that to me sounds like depression unless it is not happening frequently.
I personally don’t like getting out of bed much because there’s so little things I find pleasure in due to lack of motivation and energy.
Hope things get better for you jimbob summer is coming at least we will have gorgeous weather…

I will be a positive Penelope and tell you that it’s okay to be that way sometimes. Be kind to yourself. You are going to have bad days sometimes, just remember it isn’t permanent. Life is always changing. Focus on today. Tomorrow will come and it will be a brand new day to look forward to.

@anon94176359 I order you to give yourself three compliments right now! Beating yourself up about suffering from depression will only make it worse. Say kind things about yourself.
For example: you’re always so supportive of everyone here and have never said a hurtful thing to another community member. That’s not easy to do.

@anon94176359 I mean it, mister. Sometimes, depression lies to us and tells us we have no good qualities. So, if you can’t think of any good qualities, steal mine and repeat them. But I’m not leaving you alone until you give me three compliments

That shows you really understand your symptoms and how to manage them

If someone with another chronic illness, a physical one that causes fatigue, spends a day in bed because they’re exhausted from having to deal with this chronic illness and all it entails, would you say they’re disgusting?
Don’t be so hard on yourself. This is a hard illness to deal with. Negative, positive, stigma, meds side effects, everything. Give yourself a break. It’s hard.

Hey matey. Fighting off those negatives can be hard work. Everyone gets bad days but if they continue hit up your treatment team. I pretty stable but still have periods where I suffer from the negatives and slight depression. It’s very cyclic for me.
Ride out the down times and enjoy the good!
