Warhawk8492 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 The past couple of days my symptoms have flared up badly. I don't know why. Sorry to necro post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I wouldn't worry about the necro-ing, Warhawk. This is one of those threads that exist to ensure folks realize they are not alone and to try and help when it's needed. Not like you're suddenly reviving a petty argument from three years ago.

moon_lit_tears Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Mine has flared up over the past two months. The holidays always suck, but the worst part was my theropist quit her job for a new position elsewhere....just before thanksgiving, and that has royally screwed my head up.

dvdWarrior Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 <p>Depression has... pretty much become a part of who I am at this point. I generally deal with it by hiding from the world, (honestly, if I could get away with it, I'd just never leave the house), and watching a steady stream of TV shows, movies, and pro wrestling events from the 1980s and 90s so that I can happily wallow in the nostalgia for a while.</p><p> </p><p> Photography seems to help a bit, for me. I usually feel pretty good when I'm alone in nature, taking my pictures of the world. I still try to keep as far away from other people as I can, but I love the sounds of the creek rolling over the rocks, the feeling of the wind on my face, and the leaves everywhere, and nature in general.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 <p>Well, I’ve been away for a while due to the lack of platforms I enjoy using the forums in, but I lurked around in this thread after a few events, and felt like I should give the share game a go.</p><p> </p><p> I’m in a complex situation with my depression. I really have no one in the family to share my grievances to, out of either pure fear for their sake since they shouldn’t be given another matter to worry about in troublesome times for the family, or their lack of availability, or their lack of care in one particular case that messes with me big time. The aforementioned troubles include the loss of my grandfather in 2017, which is still impacting us emotionally, and I was hit very hard by it, since he was my best listener and cared deeply for the whole family, but had a special place for me since we basically lived together, one house level away from one another, his availability being at any time we ever needed him due to his illness. We are also at a rough patch for our income, so that means no psychologist for me, and either way, I’ve been to one when I was 6 or so, and it didn’t help matters one bit then, I’m afraid it wouldn’t now either.</p><p> </p><p> I’m an emotional person. I feel too much, be that emotion joy, sadness, anger, anything. When something goes wrong and that’s a bad emotion, I start freaking out at times. Thinking too much, thinking the worst things about myself. I start getting paranoid from past experiences, exposing how I’m feeling way too much, something I don’t do normally, and end up coming off worse in some situations. I’ve come to a point where I have no faith in myself as a person, because this always happens, no matter what, and ends up yanking myself away from social groups, destroying my relationships, personally and online, so I wonder if it would just be best for me to go away, you know? But I just can’t do that...I’m afraid of what comes after so much, I’ve done absolutely nothing with myself. Physically, that is...I fully expect to die because of the stress I make my mind go through with all this eventually, all the mental banging and crying. I hope I’m wrong. The mechanisms I utilize to try and distract myself are one from the paragraph below, the other one is drinking. That’s good and bad at the same time, because I can control myself and enjoy the flow most of the time, but I have let myself go on instinct and gone mad drunk at times also, looking as my family described, “ghastly” once. I’m afraid it’s starting to become something bigger.</p><p> </p><p> Two things make me continue to go through. The first one is acting, the other mechanism mentioned above, which is my one love in life, the one thing that makes me feel like I belong in this world. The second is hope, be it a tiny shred of it, that I’ve reached rock bottom. Because when you’ve done that, there’s no way to go but up. I just have to cope with my pains on my own until then and work to improve as a person every day and fight not to develop vices and make the same mistakes again.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Century Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've also been in a huge pit of depression lately, for no reason. Everything is going good in life compared to a month or so ago, so I shouldn't logically be sad, but unfortunately this isn't logical. Hope it passes through and I don't have to up my medication.
