Have you ever had days where you just don't like yourself?!


Question: I've been having more and more of those lately. I feel sad a lot. I have no motivation or discipline. I feel physically uncomfortable and sore. I don't want to do anything productive.

I've been like this for years, but it's been really bad since December.

I don't think I suffer from depression because there are days of the week where I feel OK. But other days, like today, I just want to be alone and crawl into bed. My fiance suffers from depression, and he has little to no self esteem. I have low to healthy self esteem. It just depends on the day.

But I just feel like there's something not right with me. I don't know what it is.

Well it does sound like you may have a case of depression. There are not only different types of depression but also many different symptoms. The fact that these feelings have been increasing in intensity since December means to me that you may want to go see your doctor or a therapist. Even if it's not a solid case of depression that you have you are still feeling lousy and talking with someone who is unbiased and to whom you can say anything might help you get some stuff off your chest and help you feel better. I've been there, I think we all have. I hope that things get easier for you. Maybe try going for a long walk with your fiance? The sun and fresh air might boost both of your spirits!

Talk to someone.
talk to a doctor or something because you should be taking depressants, thoughts of suicide much?

I think we all have those daze... I know I have them often, the trick for me is to fight the lethargy associated with 'em... I do push ups and sit ups... take a swim... play with the cats... frag folks in some online game and before I know it I have forgotten all about it...

Could it be depression? It does make a person feel lethargic and melancholic. And sometimes it feels as though you've put on a hundred pounds...your body just feels so heavy. Maybe you could get it checked out?

Yeah, I have had those days, but I fortunately have seemed to come out of it within the last few years. I really have no idea how I managed to do it. I think because I have been through a lot of really tough stuff over the last three years.. it put things in perspective for me, and possibly made me realize that life is a lot better and a lot more precious than I was giving it credit for. Moping around is a waste of your life.

Could it be a seasonal thing?

You said it's been increasing since December... Maybe you need a bit of sunshine and a good vacation. Feeling run down and unproductive is a common symptom of seasonal affective disorder.

When I get depressed and feel bad, I read the bible. Especially, psalms or 1 corinthins. And I always feel good after knowing the promises that god has in store for us. I think u should get rid of ur fianc
