I've got the blues

Sunshine is feeing low. I hate this depressive state that I’m in. I don’t know when I’m getting out of it but I sure hope it’s soon. It’s really kicking my butt.

Two months ago, I went on meds primarily for MDD and hallucinations. I have to admit, I don’t experience hallucinations as much but depression is still there. Or that’s what my therapist thinks…

Lately I’ve had no motivation to do things. It’s really difficult to start something. Nothing gives me pleasure anymore. This is not how I used to be. I was always active. Now, I can’t even prepare myself food or get out of bed. What is this?

And while many people say that I look/act better, I don’t feel it. I feel like I’ve lost myself. I have no emotions whatsoever. However, I’m not even that sad or suicidal as I was before.

I get to see my pdoc this Friday so this is definitely something I should share. I’m still in that stage of denial of my diagnosis, therefor, I don’t want to take my meds anymore. I know I should give them more time but I can’t stand feeling like trash. Though I’ve always felt this way…sigh I don’t know what to do.

Hey sunshine, sorry you’re feeling low :frowning2:

Take your meds, they will give you some relief in due time.

I also have a hard time doing things, and sometimes it’s really hard. Specially with your dx, you need to be careful and take those meds!

I know you’re used to feeling like that, but who knows, things will change again, and you’ll feel better.

Just know you’re not alone.

It’s comforting hearing i’m not alone but I’m sorry that you’re going through the same thing. Thanks for the input :heart: I think I’ll just stay in bed for a little while more. I reeeeeeally don’t want to take my meds :confounded: I feel like the side effects will never go away.

I think the worst part are not the side effects, but living without meds. If you’re like that on meds, imagine what you would be like without them. If it has to be a trade, than sanity and well being are preferable.

Thank you so much. I’ve never heard of it like that…I may just have to switch my point of view on meds…Maybe I’m catastrophizing. I gotta look at the gray area…perhaps. Thanks once again @Minnii :heart: God bless you!

Hi @Sunshine I’ve been feeling really depressed recently too.

It’s hard to find motivation to do anything that needs to be done.

Sometimes you just have to push a little though, in your own time.

I hope you start feeling better soon.:purple_heart:

Idk if this will help but I am always sung this song when I’m depressed and have crying spells. Or tired and can’t do anything. Just my covers and my phone and all my contacts deleted (thank God gmail is like “too many deleted contacts. Undo?”)

It goes:
Sunshine sunshine please don’t cry.
Sunshine sunshine dry your eyes.
Sunshine sunshine please don’t cry.
IIIIIIII LUUUVVV YOUU.
:heart: @Sunshine
