Depressed, mad, confused and lost

[Punky143]

Deep depression means we are exhausted from everything, body aches, migraines, easily triggered by just about everything leading to carry on a lot of anger. Then add DID and Borderline and every other dx. I'm surrounded by people around us who view mental health as something that will just go away and how it's a choice and doesn't believe it will help them. Opposite of how we feel. Every day feels like a battle despite looking for positive. I wish for peace in another world because we don't fit in this one.

I wish for peace in another world because we don't fit in this one.

What would it take to create a world you do fit in?

More energy, clearly, than depression allows… but after this spell passes?

I have always found that at times when I am in deep emotional pain getting active even in a small way really helps. I start by picking a small chore like doing the dishes or laundry. I make my bed as soon as I get up and I open all the curtains for natural light. I get outside, preferably in nature. And when I have the strength I get on my bike. I start with short easy rides every day and then I start going longer.

This is what has worked for me and this is what I am doing now. I am also doing 2 guided meditations each day. When I feel frustration coming on I pause and focus on my breath.

This is the only way I have found to crawl out of the hole For me.

Wow, I can so relate to this. Just got finished writing about how I don't belong in this world.

Sorry you are struggling. I don't have any wise words, because I am in the same place.

Every day feels like a battle despite looking for positive.

I finally had to stop doing this because it feels fake and what everyone else wants me to do. Besides, finding the little positives really doesn't help the deep sort of depression I feel.

Oh yeah. Seeing this everywhere from all kinds of people, including "professionals." It makes it harder to push forward, doesn't it?
