kitty-eared-girl's Journal, 03 February 2014

Rough start to the week. Woke up feeling quite depressed, to the point that I piggy backed off the fact that I'd been coming down with something while at work last week and called out today. I was mad at myself for doing it, but I didn't want to get to work and have a break down at my desk.

It's been a long long while since I've been this down. The sad this is (no pun intended) that there's nothing going on for me to be depressed over! I've got the most supportive, loving guy anyone could ask for, and he's also the best friend I've ever had. My job is going great, and I'm thankful everyday to be employed considering the countless friends I know who are struggling to find jobs or are stuck working for minimum wage. We're even making progress towards moving out of our tiny apartment into something bigger.

I talked to mom this morning about it and her first words were that I should consider making an appointment with a doctor regarding it. Depression runs on her side of the family, and she's on medication for it presently. I've been on pills before, even been diagnosed with PMDD, but that was years and years ago. It was hard, but I was happier when I managed to wean myself off of the meds. Its not that there's anything wrong with being on medication, I just don't feel good while on it.

I'm wondering though, if I'm feeling this way due to not having hit the gym in over a week because of being sick. When I started exercising regularly I felt a boost in my overall mood, and I'm sure fighting being sick didn't help with this either.

I told mom I'm not going to run to a doctor right away, as this is the first time in a long time that its happened. I'll seek help if it persists.

Happy Monday!

Get in the gym asap if that helps boost your mood. Maybe you feel better when you are doing something healthy for yourself. Also, look up some foods that boost serotonin levels. Best wishes and feel better!

I suffer from depression. I have been off meds for 3 years. I find I have days where I am just down for no reason. It happens. Having great people to talk to helps. I find it worse when I am not in the gym for a while. Know you are not alone, and you know yourself better then anyone. Sounds like you have great support!!

Thanks! I've been getting back on track with the gym, the mood still undulates between tolerable and "holy crap I don't want to do anything becuase I'm so down". Today is the first time I'm back to work since last Friday, and I'm fighting to make it through the day.

Here if you ever want someone to talk to, sometimes it helps having someone that will not judge you for feeling the way you feel!!
