I feel like I am getting depressed

I just got this feeling today, hopefully I do not get depressed too much, my exercising such as the bicycle riding helps, but still feeling depressed today, it is the Friday evening again and I am again alone as always, it has been like this for many many years, I have no interest in going to bars or have any kind of the nightlife, I do not know if it is the weather, it has been raining today, I just feel depressed today. Too bad :disappointed:

Maybe because the sunny weather is almost over? I’m sorry you’re feeling like this

Yep, the winter is coming and then I can not do many activities I typically do when it is not snowing. I have saved three books that I am going to read in this winter when it is dark outside. Maybe it is the weather change.

When I was young I used to travel a lot, sometimes I feel that I would like to travel somewhere, the city of Paris is in my mind, would like to visit places where I have been, the Latin quarters and other places, well I keep just dreaming :smile:

Sorry you are feeling this way. I hope you are back to your wonderful, positive and cheery self soon. ( not that you’re not wonderful now).

Well I do hope that you start feeling better @mjseu.

I am starting to feel more depressed as well.

I’ve been going through a lot of major life changes and living in a high stress family environment.

I am also not eating right, not exercising and drinking too much coffee (caffeine)

Also the days are getting shorter.

Lots of factors as to why I am feeling more depressed.

I really need to see my psychiatrist because I was in bad shape last night.

I really had the urge to take my own life.

Do not take your own life, I once attempted suicide, I survived, I am glad to be alive, The life is worth living.

I got depressed this summer just because things were going well and since there were no outside problems, the inner problems surfaced. I have been grappling with problems that I never had the time for. It’s actually a good sign, not a bad one. But I am getting medical help - Lexapro is very good to me for depression. I hope you can see your way through your troubles.

One depressing thing is that my father is not doing well, now I have visited him every week and each time he has not been able to say a word, he is just on his bed without any movement, this is depressing me, I do not know when is his time to leave, his sister who was sz died on my 40th birthday, depressing things,

but I am trying to apply some methods I learned from one Vietnam war veteran over 25 years, basically he taught me how to jump over some depressive phases in the case of the death, not to fall into the full depression.

Do something nice for yourself today, @mjseu. Staying active is great, but there are times when the body/mind needs rest too. Sometimes, when I need to, I spend a whole day on the couch. I allow the times I need to stop trying really hard. Sometimes I think about many things and cry and pray and focus just on those things. I need to do that.
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. :heart:

Hang in there @Wave! You have good changes coming. Sorry it’s a hard road you’re on. I know the feeling. I’ve felt trapped before in a bad situation. You’ll find your way and it’s worth it…you’re worth the effort it takes to get yourself in a better situation. :heart:

May be it is the weather.

Maybe it is the weather or a combination of some things, hey should I take a next flight to Malaysia, how is your weather there …? :smile:

I am actually listening to quite energetic music to lift my spirits up, you may or may not like this music, but it makes me happy … whatever makes me happy is good , :smile:

You’re most welcome. :smile:

I don’t like rainy day, but now get used to it.
