cannot function

Post Reply New Topic

have obligation tomorrow, don't know if will do.
depressed and don't want to think
not doing what I should.
tried to function normally, probably tried too hard, pushed too far.
just anyone else's normal day.
no point to this post really. just can't function.

I am sorry that you feel this way. I have days like that. Just try to relax.

Sorry to hear you're feeling this way. Try to hang in there =/

Hang in there, i am feeling exactly like this now too. Hope things are better soon.

I find when I get like this sometimes it's good just to go to bed and have a sleep? Or perhaps drink some herbal tea? Hope you're feeling better soon.

Ah thanks. Nice to have support and understanding and know other people go through the same kind of thing. Eughhhh.

it's a horrible feeling.
most days i have to psych myself up to get past the front door.
it has good days and bad days.

hang in there and hopefully it'll get easier.

I second sunshower on the sleep, also eat well, and another possibility for the next time you feel like this can can't focus, go play video games for a bit - really. Sometimes your brain really needs to stop tasking on certain things and, if trying to think is like kicking a dead horse it really means that you're brain is running out of the neurochemicals that it needs in that region and that your brain really needs a rest.

If you ever get stuck in a position where you really can't sleep or lime the feeling off, break the task into components and start working on the most mindless mechanical aspect of it that you can. At least doing that much will help keep you from trying to process more than you can (which, from my past experience, I think I actually did brain-damage during the days where I thought I could make myself do anything with enough bullying). I currently have a job where, often enough its slow but when it rains it pours and there's no place to run at that point. I try to save mental energy for those times and I realize that I have monitor my thoughts and emotional state a great deal to keep my ATP, dopamine, serotonin, etc. within budget. Otherwise - the whole outside of my forehead can start tingling and from there it only goes downhill.

I have days like this, as well, and they are usually brought on by school. If not brought on by school, school doesn't help the situation.

Very good advice re: sleep, video games, mindless tasks, breaking things into components. Getting too much sleep at the moment, will try other suggestions. Mindless tasks, yes, that sounds good.
