Sometimes, usually in the afternoon or late afternoon, I just feel really bad. No matter what I do, I feel like an impending doom is near and I can’t get rid of it. I don’t do drugs so I know it’s not that.
Do you get this feeling often? And if so, what do u do?
Yeah that is SZ. Finding something to distract yourself helps a lot.
sounds like some form of panic attack lurking…I would do like Mars say and divert your attention to a calming memory to get away from the feeling…it takes practice.
I meditate or exercise.
I resort to drinking coffee to give me a lift if I’m feeling down. Or taking a supplement like taurine to calm me down if I need something to chill me out.
I’m lucky these minor things help.
Previously when I used to get paranoid I would just lie down and close my eyes for 20 minutes. That used to help.
Hippocrates the great ancient doctor said
If you’re in a bad mood go for a walk. If you’re still in a bad mood go for another walk.
I sometimes try to sleep when feeling bad.
Get busy with something and distract yourself.
Me too. When I was going thru that doom phase. Due to my medication dose. I’d masturbate myself to sleep.
Or go on bus rides to be in a different location, and buy some candy and hot chocolate.
I would avoid people though.
Even I avoided my family. I just felt too bad to be near them I wish They made more effort to be in my company. And comfort me. Anyway,
I hear something like this :
I rock and blast music in my ears
Mornings are tough.
In afternoon and evening i am better
Sit through it. Cry. Note things down in journal. Listen to easy songs. Surf internet for memes or easy stuff. Avoid political/religious topics.
Yeah me too sometimes mostly or worse afternoons.
I have insomnia but all I want to do is sleep it away.
I take my prn clozapine and take a nap or sleep.
I try to walk… solve crosswords… watch some videos related to work… read any book… browse net… for now…
I would like to avoid eating a lot… sit in same place… spending lot of money… rumination… stress giving activity… fighting at home… etc…
I think of a few of my favorite things.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Awww, forget it.
When I feel bad I watch an interesting talk show or sitcom or I close my eyes and meditate.
Happens to me when night time comes. I usually consider it like a short cold and stay home and watch wholesome movies, drink tea and smoke my cigs.
