Thank you. :) I'm trying. I hope your doing well
Sometimes the day can be daunting, just take it hour by hour or minute by minute! :) you got this!
Thank you. And yea it's not easy I feel like I'm fighting a battle with my self. And would be so much easier to just sleep the day away. But that's not possible lol
@SammyC77 Hi have you tried to do some art, pictures, play with colours, write a poem about how you feel, or just a paragraph or two? Go to a park, watch nature, turn on radio, magic 5.4 read a good book, I mean whatever you enjoy reading. I was in Thames-mead library trying to edit a document, but the air-conditioning so cold, even I told them they didn’t turn it down, they say they were hot. But, '5 women were just sitting, chatting and doing nothing, how come they were hot? In fact to work we should be hot and sweat the day away. But here, they often do that, even in winter these 5 women, supposed to be working they turn on the cooler. As if the library is only for them, its funny they get paid for that, this is Tory parties full employment narrative. Isn’t it funny, I had no choice just to pack up and go home, that is dreadful not funny.
Sleep is so very important. Make time for it, and if you need more as you repair, take it! Feel better.....
My son and I do lots of crafts and ALWAYS playing outside. So I definitely keep my self busy. But I just sometimes don't want to do anything. And even when I get a good night sleep I'm still so tired.
Sammy it does take time. Perhaps getting a physical from your doctor will give you overall peace of mind about your health. But sleep is good. If you need more, sleep more. If you want down time, take it. Listen to music, read, sit in the sunshine with a lemonade. Take pleasure in calm, simple things. I find that the answers tend to be found......in the gym. When I dragged myself back to the gym, suddenly I started getting HUNGRY again. As I ate more, and slept more, I gained some weight back. As I gained weight back, I started having more energy.....which was used at the gym, which made me feel better.....and, repeat.
Using opiates wears us down. Then, quitting opiates wears us down! It's a ride that leads to exhaustion. It is what it is, just rebuild, repair.....and however that looks, fine.
I just recently had a physical. And everything is okay. Other than still taking depression meds. And I should be on anxiety meds but if the fear I will get addicted to them they won't put me on them. So I have to deal with the panic attacks. But other than that I'm pretty healthy. I also just think im worn out between school and my son. Really haven't had any time to my self. In a long time.
Carve out time for yourself. If the depression med aren't quite doing it, maybe an adjustment. You'll figure that out. I hope you're having a good day today.
I'm feeling the same way. I have no motivation....not sure what is the deal. I understand.
There is depression.......I get moments, bouts of it. It's like dispair, and grief, a touch of doom almost. It's a giant "everything sucks". That's the lack of opiates talking. That's the brain still reaching out to say hey, what's the deal? Where's the opiates? I hate that because it lingers long after the big victory over withdrawals. And it's the part I wasn't ready for either. I went into the battles of withdrawals armed for the physical, then I got blindsided by the psychological.......I guess, besides giving ourself space, and time, we have to forgive ourselves too. It's ok to have regrets, but we can't carry real heavy burdens around forever. It just drags us down. You know, whatever your thing is.....that might be my thing but you all have your own.
