Extreme homesick feeling for the past

I guess we all miss the past at one time or another JoDoe… But living in the now is the best way to feel good. Focus on what is going on during this moment.

I am glad you don't feel like hurting yourself. That is never a good thing.

I am sorry you feel homesick for the past. I hope that this feeling goes away. Is there anything particular that was better than now? Just curious.

Take care JoDoe and welcome to the depression forum.

Hugs, Karen...

It is really difficult for us with health problems. Especially when you are looking back on a time when you were much more healthy. I have fibromyalgia and diabetes. I pretty much got use to the fibromyalgia, but the diabetes has been recent and it takes a lot of time out of your day giving shots, checking bloods and making sure you eat when you should. If I go too long without eating, my blood sugar drops and it is scary to me. I would love to go back to a time when I felt better. But I try to look at the past as the past. I feel fortunate to have felt better at one time. I feel okay for the most part now, but I still have to do all the things for my blood sugar every day. I imagine in time it will be normal. So I know how you feel I think.

Joe, you will get through it I am sure. Try to focus on good things no matter how small they may seem. Keep posting, it helps.

My friend, I can understand why you would want to revisit the past

because there were some really good times for some of us.

Not to mention we were stronger and probably better looking

to, however, we can never get those days back, no matter how bad

we want to be there, it can never be so try to accept the things

that are around you. No, matter how different it might be, it's

all we have to work with my friend.
