Dog Daze....

[AzureMind]

Anybody else just feeling like you're in this time loop called depression, and that it seems like the day just repeats itself over, and over again? God, I feel like I've lived this day a thousand times at least! It's strange how depression does that; how it just takes the spontaneity out of a day, and makes it all the same dull, habitual grey, and blue....god, sometimes I just feel like I'm just moving on a tread mill walking through my life...Ugh....these Dog Daze....What's up with you guys though?

There are long periods of my life that I have the same feeling as you, Azuremind. Especially when the winter comes around. Every night I go to bed and think (or hope) tomorrow will be different. It is is very hard. I just keep holding on for the actual day that things change.

I have noticed the same thing when I am struggling with a memory or habit. The same feelings over and over day after day.

One thing I have learned to do is have faith that things always change, never stay the same. It's the one thing sometimes that I can hold on to when I get really discouraged.

Good question.:tup:

Like the movie 'groundhog day". Its been a long winter and Im hopeful its about to change. This is it with an anti-depressant for me but Im appreciative as once some psychiatrist had me on the wrong kind and when I got worse he increased it and I hit bottom. I want to feel excited again about....anything.

I hear that brat. I feel so bored by my life, yet I have at least 10 things I could be doing at this moment...all of which don't even move me to feel anything at all, and I can't even say that they would because this depression takes the love out of anything I touch, think, or have anything to do with; forget ambition, what's that? lol. I gotta say though that right now, I'm thankful that I haven't fallen so low yet as to loose my ability to think straight; I mean, that's difficult to do right now for me, and to process things, but that little bit is all I have for now, so I guess I'll hold onto it for as long as I can :laugh:

AM, thanks....god I really needed that...I've been feeling so lost, and aimless....doesn't help that the sky is always grey around my area....could it be SAD that's triggering this? Any thoughts? I don't really know anything about it, so I'm gonna try to do a little digging on that.....

Hi Azure,
First of all I want to say good job for holding on and doing the best you can do!:tup:

The weather really affects me alot. I know that I have talked to alot of other people that have the same problem. I have such a terrible time in the winter. I feel so much more depressed in bad weather. I am not sure why. I think one of the reasons may be that I am not free to be outside as much. Also, everything slows down and I have more time to think. On top of that the holidays are in the middle of the bad weather and those are a trigger for me. Every person is different, so I am not sure about how things affect you, but you are not alone in disliking gray skys.

Chin up! Hold on and keep going.
