Another Hard Night

[happyannie]

Im having a bad night a continuation of a really bad day, Ive really been struggling with my depression lately, more so than ever. 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.

I have wonderful medical support and my family are just brilliant for looking after me, for that I will be forever grateful.

Thanx for letting me vent BB, I really appreciate this forum.

Hi Annie

Thanks for the kind compliment about the forums and good to see you too!

Im sorry that you are having a dark day Annie.

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.

If I may ask you if you have been getting frequent counseling ? That usually 'refreshes' a tired mind even until our next visit.

It takes a heap of practice and time but 'Calm and Genuine Acceptance' of these feelings will reduce the depression big time.

Has anything happened recently that may have triggered the depression? Sometimes no trigger is required of course.

Just a tip for you Annie......Always avoid 'fighting' the depression....it only compounds it (you probably knew that anyway)

You wont be alone here Annie

my kind thoughts for you

Hi Paul

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.

Im still seeing my psychologist and psychiatrist every fortnight, I have an appointment this Tuesday so hopefully that will be helpful it usually is.

Thanx again for your support
