Answer 1

I have been feeling bad for over 2 years now and at the moment it feels worse. I am suffering with PTSD for which I am receiving counselling and this does help to let some of it out.

I am especially bad at the moment as I am going through the grief part of my condition and still dealing with the trauma. On top of that I had to have my knee operated on about a week and a half ago so I can't even escape in my car to be on my own. So I am feeling really trapped like you.

You definitely need someone, a friend or family member to talk to and let out your emotions and whatever is getting to you. If you find that too difficult to do maybe try counselling its sometimes easier to talk to someone who does not know you and will not judge you in any way.

Hope you start to feel better soon

Answer 2

you sound allot like me, and ive also had a pretty bad week, especially yesterday, i was under allot of stress.
its so difficult to give advice on things like this because these feelings are hard to change, especially on top of depression as well! just try to relax, and do something you enjoy like reading, drawing, watching the TV, make plans for tomorrow if you can, that way you'll have something to look forward to, and it will see you through tonight, then things may look better tomorrow as tomorrows a new day.
if this is an on going problem the best thing you can probably do is see your doctor about it and maybe have counselling.
but i do know how your feeling and its very hard.
i hope you have someone close to you who you can confide in cos that will also help, if you stay positive amongst other things, you will get YOU back.
good luck

I felt that way last night, then had a real long talk with my best friend and am feeling a lot better tonight. A couple other things that have worked in the past for me were running or finding some project to totally emerse myself in. If you wanna talk, feel free to message me.

Answer 4

i know how you feel... when the world gets ontop of you. the only way you can over come this feeling is by letting it all out, tell someone its the only way. even if you have to break down infront of them in tears. once you let it out you feel you have acheived something and it makes you feel better. this advice may seem stupid but it worked on a close friend of mine. if that doesnt work just talk to someone and dont keep bottled up. you need to face the world not hide from it.
i hope that helps a bit

anti depressants can take up to 4 weeks to get into ur system, if u have been diagnosed b4 then u shud no the signs of depression flareing up and need to see ur doctor, prevention is easier than the cure. in the mean time, read, watch tv, draw, garden, do house work...anything to keep ur mind off feeling down.if u dwell on the low feeling then u will get worse. think positive things and get ur family to support u.

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?

Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."

Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.

When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.

So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.

With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.

Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.

The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.

For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?

If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.

I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.

Answer 9

i know how you feel, but don't worry. things will get better...they always do. you have to find comfort in how things will be. think positive and don't live in the past. It also helps to act happy even if you aren't. eventually uour mind will be as fooled as the people around you and accept happiness as your true feelings.

Answer 10

i also feel the same way but for a different reason im think about something for depression
