Either way, I knew what you meant.

Shoes, sorry to hear that you are feeling crummy. I'll echo what everyone else has said and add one little thing. Most of the time when I feel that way it's my mood but there have been just enough occasions over the years that sometimes even months later I discover that there was really something wrong. And it was usually my thyroid. The meds for that just don't seem to always stay stable. Or another way to put that is that my thyroid varies in its needs (explained to me by an endocrinologist). Feel better soon!

Hi Marchers (thanks for the pic, Marcher 13):
Back from the shore.
Shoes, my friend, I have to admit, I am where you are. I thought mine was seasonal but it is back with a vengeance and I'm not sure what to do about it. Very dark thoughts at the moment and my insomnia is going full tilt.
I am going to see my doctor because I can't go on with the not-sleeping and I really need my mood to lift.
Wish I had good news to report - those of us who struggle with clinical depression know the routine and I have to wait this out.
Big love to all Marchers.

North, sorry to hear you are under the weather, too. Clinical depression is no joke as I know only too well. Good to see a doc as this is persisting. Sometimes our brain chemicals get out of whack and need a boost. Unlike some meds, these require much patience, occasionally superhuman patience and a good doc.
Even though this isn't unambiguously on topic, I do believe that dealing with feeling this crummy state is so very relevant to the sober journey we are all on. Support may not fix but does help!

Head for the doc, north. Before indulging in some recreational, mind-altering substance, I used to say, "Better living through chemistry!". Now I'm saying it to keep me off of recreational, mind-altering substances.

Good morning Marchers It's good to see you North and I am very glad you are going to the doctor, I'm with Sass and Trachy on this. Mr Marcher battled with depression for several years in the late 90s, the difference when he finally went to a doctor was amazing, as the doc said the chemicals in the brain can't be rebalanced without diagnosed help.
Life where are you? How are you going?
Have a good day peeps.

I'm sorry that you are going through a rough time shoes and North.
So that's a few of us at the same time ~ I guess it's par for the course.
I am finally learning though that I cannot shut people out. That leads to misunderstanding, hurt feelings and disaster. I never realised before yesterday that me not handling my depression can end up doing damage to other people besides me.
Unresolved pain (for me) can make me crazy, and then I get hostile. That is very, very bad.
I definitely need to get the chemical balance in my brain right again. That's for sure.
Love to all of the Marchers,
V xx

The last time I was down a few months back, I found that just writing it down here and recieving so much love back helped me to make the effort to do the things I knew would draw me out of it. Exercise and fresh food and even smiling whenever I thought about it really makes a difference. As does playing my favourite music really loud and singing and dancing along. I want to crawl under the covers and block out the whole world, but inside even the darkest cloud, I know I am a survivor and ultimately will do what I need to survive. I am fortunate in that my GP does allow for me to adjust my medication to a certain extent. My goal is to be able to stop taking anything but at the moment I am maintaining a status quo which suits me.
Anyhoo, Shoes, North, big hugs to you both.
Dee, good to see you, I hope life isn't too fraught at the moment.
Big hugs to everyone, I'm still struggling to get round to reading and posting at the moment, not that I have more than usual going on, just seem to be taking longer doing stuff. Xx
