I feel like Ive got a battle going on in my mind constantly, there seems to be a good voice and a bad voice and they fight all the time, which is very difficult to live with, its happening all the time for example, I will try to do something positive which is good but then the bad side says no your not going to do that which pushes me down again. I was wondering does anybody else feel this way and do they have any advise.</P> <P>I have wonderful medical support and my family are just brilliant for looking after me, for that I will be forever grateful.</P> <P>Thanx for letting me vent BB, I really appreciate this forum.</P> <P>Annie</P> Sat, 18 Feb 2017 12:16:43 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/another-hard-night/m-p/271486#M29154 happyannie 2017-02-18T12:16:43Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/another-hard-night/m-p/271487#M29155 <P>Hi Annie</P> <P>Thanks for the kind compliment about the forums and good to see you too!</P> <P>Im sorry that you are having a dark day Annie.</P> <P>Having a tired mind will let our thoughts run all over the place as yours are now. I was exactly the same as you with these awful feelings too.</P> <P>If I may ask you if you have been getting <EM>frequent </EM>counseling ? That usually 'refreshes' a tired mind even until our next visit.</P> <P>It takes a heap of practice and time but 'Calm and Genuine Acceptance' of these feelings will reduce the depression big time. </P> <P>Has anything happened recently that may have triggered the depression? Sometimes no trigger is required of course.</P> <P>Just a tip for you Annie......Always avoid 'fighting' the depression....it only compounds it (you probably knew that anyway)</P> <P>You wont be alone here Annie</P> <P>my kind thoughts for you</P> <P>Paulx</P> Sat, 18 Feb 2017 13:25:17 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/another-hard-night/m-p/271487#M29155 blondguy 2017-02-18T13:25:17Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/another-hard-night/m-p/271488#M29156 <P>Hi Paul</P> <P>Thank you for your advice its always appreciated, I started some new medication 2 weeks ago, but I dont know if that could be a trigger.</P> <P>Im still seeing my psychologist and psychiatrist every fortnight, I have an appointment this Tuesday so hopefully that will be helpful it usually is.</P> <P>Thanx again for your support</P> <P>Annie</P> Sun, 19 Feb 2017 00:21:12 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/another-hard-night/m-p/271488#M29156 happyannie 2017-02-19T00:21:12Z
