Depression: deep, dark, and consuming

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know what's happening to me. The last few weeks my mood has become very very dark. I've lost interest in everything that makes me happy. The most ominous signs are that I've no real desire to go on any road trips., and there's been a marked decrease in sex drive.

I feel so overwhelmed by everything. There's so much I want to see and do, and just not a lot of time to do them. Life is so damned SHORT, and time goes by so fast.

I've been thinking a lot about the past lately, too, even the somewhat recent past. I feel like my always-tenuous grip on psychological stability is slipping.

Hey, you need to get to a Doc. You never know why but it could be a chemical imbalance,wrong meds, no meds, anything. Especially since it seems to have come on come on so quickly. Don't wait.

I've been in a very dark place recently to but Joodalah is right, get yourelf to doc asap. There is no magic pill etc for depression but the will suport you, with meds, councselling; whateever they feel you need.

I have been there before a it will get better, just get medical help.

I'm having a dark day too.

Thanks for the support. I do have a doc, I have been seeing him for four years and I have an appointment on Friday.

I've been doing a little better the last couple days, but I'm still a little down in the dumps... I think it's more than just a chemical imbalance. There are some things in my life I'm not happy about, and with my 30th birthday just a couple months away I'm becoming increasingly aware of my own mortality. My obsessive-compulsive tendencies have been ratcheting up lately and it's never pleasant when those saturate my brain.

In accordance with recent practices, today I turned to food as an escape. I had a footlong sandwich from Subway, a six-inch, a breakfast sandwich, and then I went to Cold Stone and got two Love It size creations. They were good.

don't hurt me, i am just trotting out my old and well-worn broken record about how the normal human mind can only hold one discrete thought in working memory at any given time, and that if this is an unpleasant thought, you have to reflexively override it with another thought that is NOT unpleasant. i have found this to be the only truly effective way of chasing the blues away. this worked for me even when i was living on the street and cold hungry etc. why let bad thoughts live in your head for free?
