Checking In! (How Do You Feel Today)

Recommended Posts

sitting here while my pain overflows, nobdy seems to notice the pain i carry, even when i tell them, i cant remember anyone asking, how are you? and really wanting to know, do i make it so hard for people to ask, or do they really not give a shit. my heart is breaking and the only person who'll ask how i am is my counseller who i cant wait to see on wednesday, that makes me so lonely surrounded by people i love and my pain is transparent

People are nice to me and caring towards me, but I feel zoned out and disconnected. The smallest thing stresses me out. I am berating myself with tons of nagging, telling my self YOU SHOULDs and then a plummeting feeling happens in the pit of my stomach and the bad visualizations ask for permission to enter. They are like vampires: they need permission to come into your home, and then they drain your life force. So far I have been challenging them, but they are very sneaky. I notice that depressed postures suit me now, too, and I am resisting them. Here comes another wave of "I SHOULDS" with their attendant nausea..........

I think i will sew something for myself today. I need to still enjoy doing my artwork, it's beginning to become too job-like if I dont play with it once in a while.

Hi. I'm new to this and im not really sure what im doing. Thought I would check in! Here goes! How am i feeling today? To be honest, im not sure. I was diagnosed with depression around 15 years ago and also have been diagnosed with dysthymia. (dont know how to spell it). Ive been finding hard to function properly for a long time now and having a teenager and two little girls doesnt make life easier! Lol. I feel quite nervous doing this so i apologise if i start rambling! Two years ago yesterday my mum died. I have prided myself on how well i have handled this but recently i have begun to wonder if i have really dealt with it. I have a hard time dealing with emotions so I have buried them so i could concentrate on my family. Life is hard enough with my condition without emotions getting in the way! Or thats what i keep telling myself. I know i should be dealing with this but Im afraid that if i do i wont be able to control what happens and i think that i might have a breakdown and end up in hospital. Thats ironic cos ive been asking to go into hospital for a long time!! I keep thinking that at least im in control of things at the moments. If i let go then i wont be in control and wont be able to concentrate on my family. Sorry for rambling. I only popped in to say hello and ended up rambling.

I am making a few notes ready for my next visit to the Doctor on Thursday. I am going to suggest a substitute for diazepam - perhaps propranolol as recommended by someone else on this forum, ask about counselling, ask if there is a telephone help line available for night time panic attacks (I live alone). I can't go on living like this - its driving me nuts.

Sometimes I think that loneliness is at the root of many mental health problems. I know I suffer with it terribly and it does get mentioned a lot by people who post here. Sad in a crowded world that so many of us are lonely.
