I have nothing to do at the moment. Or more precisely, I’m both physically and mentally tired to do anything. Well, yeah, at least I can come up with these boring sentences and type them in. I have some things I’d do otherwise: completing a painting, reading papers, lace knitting, etc. I’m just wasting time and feeling unproductive.
I’m resting on a sofa. Resting AT WILL feels good. Resting for other reasons outside my control simply sucks.
The body and the mind do need a rest, sometimes it’s out of our hands when they want to do it. I’d say, enjoy any rest you get and hopefully tomorrow will be better then today.
I find if I have a lot of stuff facing me, I shut down and then feel tired again. So when I do have a lot of stuff facing me, I just try and do one thing. Then I go for a walk and do something I enjoy. Then I do a second thing, then I go do something else.
If what I have facing me is big, I’ll ask for help.
I started feeling depressed, so I ate some yogurt with rapsberry jam my mom had made for me yesterday, and then did some stretching, took 1mg of risperidone then just laid down on the bed for a while.
It worked!
Now I feel better! I’m surprised how these little things can change how I feel!
Yes, it’s important to ask for help when things are bigger than you.
Thank you for the comment.

I’m glad your feeling better already.
Good for you for letting this passing mood pass on by.
When I stared getting better, what really helped me was getting out of my negative thinking.
I would sit and think… NOTHING will help, noting will make me feel better. I’m having a hard day and it’s the beginning of the end.
But then small things would make me feel better. A nice walk in the park, or some time to sit under a nice tree and just enjoy the bird song. Or my sis would have me try something new… like a new type of jam, or a new type of food and that would be sort of nice treat.
It’s amazing how many little things can make a big difference.
Exactly!
I guess getting out of negative thinking is the first step of getting better
