I'm so depressed today and I failed

I miss my dog that died five years ago.
I’m angry at my mother for the mistakes she did a long time ago.
I feel like crying but tears won’t drop.
I actually miss Lisbon.

I smoked a cigarette and it helped. Maybe quitting smoking right now isn’t the best idea, my cycles became worse. I’ll quit when I’m more stable.

Meh
Thanks for reading

You are fine. Just some old memory have come back. And it seems that Libson is suitable for you.

I wouldn’t worry about the smoking if I were you. It took me about fifty tries to commit smoking. If you’re too stressed out, maybe you should put off quitting to another day. It sounds like you have ghosts from the past. I imagine most of us do.

I have cyclotimia. I cycle a lot during the day. Most days are bearable some not so much. I’m used to it.

Thanks everyone! I feel a bit better. I’m going for a ride in the country to a little old town. I think it will take my mind out of rumination.

:heart:

I’m sorry you are not yourself today. It will pass and you will be Okay tomorrow.

Don’t worry about the cigarettes for now Minnii. As for your mother’s mistake, did everything turn out for the best in the end?

Most people with mental illness tend to have their symptoms flare up when bad things happen. I think you’ll find that things will improve with time. We all have our setbacks. Even normal people can be messed up by stressful things. That’s life. Stressful situations have intensified my symptoms lately too.

I hope you feel better soon @Minnii.

Maybe adding a mood stabilizer could help.

Im still cycling - it shall pass, there must have been a trigger.

Nicotine withdrawal to me feels like the worst PMS on earth. Combined with old memories in an old place that could be bad, yeah. Maybe the country is a place to take a break and just reflect on all the progress you have already made.

Oh, sweetheart. I’m glad you’re feeling a little better. You haven’t failed anyone. What you’ve done is amazing.

Cutting back is a good goal - don’t set yourself up to feel badly about yourself.

Hope you’re enjoying your afternoon :two_hearts:

Minnii,

Seriously, I’m depressed for a while; it happens.
