I feel bad :(

That is when you need to go the most, when you are feeling crumby. And let the doctor know how you feel...

Hugs, Karen...

You are worth the effort.

If you do not go to the docs, or continue the class, the spiral down will only continue.

Free class? Who cares if you leave early? Priorities have to be met. No guilt here. You can always retake the class or another one.

Fight those negative ruminations in your head. They are only thoughts and emotions. They can not hurt you. They are not true. Breath....concentrate on the truth and repeat it to yourself.

Peace and streangth

Cry and let it out. You are going to feel better. It just doesn't seem that way right now... See a doctor or a therapist... nip it in the bud before it gets worse...

We are here for you...

Hugs, Karen...

I think once you see your therapist you will start to feel well, and once you see the psychiatrist, hopefully they can give you medication or adjust what you are taking now if you are....

Depression is a beast... It gets in to the cracks of our souls... Don't let it stay there. Do talk to your therapist, let them know how bad you feel...

I hope that you feel better soon...

Hugs, Karen...

So how are you feeling after your therapy?

try some self compassion, you deserve it.

Peace

I hope that you feel better Chris. I would rest and relax as much as I can... Do some self nurturing. Always remember, you are a good person, no matter how you feel. Depression makes us feel pretty crummy... Hang in there...

Hugs, Karen...

I do, but mine is because of fibromyalgia. I have really bad fatigue. Though I understand it can come from depression too...

Try to get a regular sleep cycle. Going to bed and getting up at the same time daily. Or nightly... I am getting up really early and going to bed early. Can't get out of this schedule...

I hope that the fatigue goes away. I find vitamin D3 helps some. And walking when you can. It gets your endorphins going...

Hugs, Karen...

D3 helps us when it is winter and the days are shorter. A lot of animals go into hibernation in the winter. Because of the shortness of the days they know. I think we are effected a little by not getting as much sun. The vitamin D3 gives you the same as you would get from sunshine. But it gives you energy and helps you to feel better. Most people take 1,000 to 2,000 iu's a day. I take 5,000. But mine was very low. You can get that checked in blood work at the doctor's office. Or you could try a low dose, 1,000 iu and see if it helps you feel better.

I Hope you get some energy. I hope that you feel better. I only sleep about six hours a day now. I use to need eight. But I think I changed with my age. The older we are, the less sleep we need.

Hugs, Karen...

I would ask the doctor if you can try it. I don't know if it is not good to take if yours isn't low. But I always took 1000iu a day, and when I found out I was low, I started taking 5000 a day. I Need to get it checked again.
