try and read a good book or watch a funny dvd, anything to distract you from the negative thoughts. tomorrow, try and get out and about, even if it's just a walk to the park.
big hugs hun-i know how you feelx

I'm sorry to hear it mom. I'm on ADs but suddenly I'm feeling crap again and my brain just won't stop churning the negative stuff. I want to be bludgeoned with a mallet!

I keep telling myself to keep active, smile even if I don't feel smiley, get out in the fresh air every day, eat regularly and healthily, change every negative black thought into something more 'grey' etc etc etc - so far none of it is working!!!

I just want to slump on the sofa curled up and sleeeeeeeeepp! I'm also addicted to MN again - and that's another symptom of my depression. KIck me off someone!!!!!

Redsky I stay on here whendepressed too as it stops me facingall that i should be doing. Get of right now. You know you need to. Go and have a bath and go to bed. Or read a book. And then go to bed.

GOOOOOOOO!

(Is she gone???)

redsky · 27/08/2006 22:20

I need to lose weight too. But in depression mode I don't want to eat, then when I do get hungry pig out on biscuits, bread, crisps etc rather than proper meals.

All my limbs ache too when I'm depressed - do you get that?

redsky · 27/08/2006 22:21

i didnt realise other ppl have the problem of negative thoughts going round and round in the brain.i thought i was nuts so i told my councellor(if u seen the post my councellor told me to think positive)and now i just think im weak and pathetic cos i have no control over my own mind.
i do find the distraction thing works to some extent,though.and this site is addictive.i find myself going on the pc during the day which i never did before.
