Just feeling lost

SLO — Sat, 16 Sep 2017 10:32:50 GMT

Hi, so iv been feeling really numb. One moment I'm happy and the next I plummet in to a deep down sadness that I hide from everyone.

I have the the most amazing life a boyfriend who loves me, friends and family. I shouldn't feel like this and yet I do.

I just want to be myself again but I feel like it fading and I'm scared.

Doesn't anyone have any strategies that help at these moments that help them. Please and thankyou

SLO welcome to beyond blue I have been around a bit because I am not you all I can suggest is try to find a comedian you like and get some pod casts of there work to help lift your mood Me I have found comedy works for me finding a good book can help sorry high and low spots are normal for depression the highs are good the lows are a bummer I really hope you pick up soon

Take care

HI SLO and welcome to BB

its brave of you to be sharing this with us so well done!

jsut becasue you have good things doesnt mean you cant have anxiety or depression.

having those supports there are really good though

would you be up for talking to one of your family members about how your really feeling? they sound supportive so i would give it ago with someone you trust

you can always speak to your gp as well and tell them how your feeling and get a mental health assessment done to be refferred to a psychologist

are you still in school? would you be open to speaking to your school counsellor?
