I always feel down?

Question

its not just the Monday morning feeling, I seriously feel awful. We have had a really bad year in our family and I think it is finally getting to me. What do you suggest.

Answer 1

I don't know what those circumstances are but maybe you just need to let it OUT.

SCREAM, YELL....cry, punch your pillow...rip it to shreds. I'm sure, though it won't make your problems go away it'll alleviate any tension and/or anger and you'll hopefully be able to look upon your family problems a little more focused without anything getting in the way....such as anger and upset.

Just a thought.

Answer 2

I know what you mean we have had a terrible year as well my mum passed away my grandmother a month before and my uncle a month after i keep busy and try not to think about all the pain i go to the gym work what ever it takes so things are controllable take up a hobby or go the gym long walks in the fresh air retail therapy is good well it works wonders when did you last have a holiday in the sun?anything but don't let life drag you down if it gets unbearable please see your doctor for support, things will get brighter so please don't stop trying good luck and all the best i hope i helped a little you will wake up one day soon and think life is great. x

If the problem is bereavement - then counselling does help - they are trained to listen to you and you can talk to them easier than risk depressing your friends. Helping others in any small way you can take your mind off your own problems. Things will get better with time but if your down feeling has been going on for weeks go to a doctor for a diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I won't advise the doctor. I 'll suggest exercise, friends and taking care of yourself. Pop classic fm on and listen and also do some light exercise like a nice long walk. Also your can buy special lights that can treat S.easonal A.ffective D.isorder, just have a search on the net.

Also drink lots of strange juices and buy a book about juice making, fruits and veg can be very helpful for your health.

Answer 5

See depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his partner, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com and avoid antidepressants (page 2V refers, & antidepressant websites: page 2). All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as herbal remedies (none of which have been conclusively demonstrated to work with severe depression). If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even many weeks to become effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, in which case I'd take them).

Answer 6

Sorry you're feeling blue, I'm not sure if your a guy or girl, but I'll give you a hug anyway *tight hugs* ^^ I know how you feel, i feel really down sometimes, all i can say is keep your chin up and always look on the bright side of things, there is always someone worse off then our selfs. How about a hobby or something to take your mind off things?

Answer 7

That's ok, it's normal to feel down when things get rough. But, don't wallow in it, try to keep yourself up with exercise, support from others, going easy on yourself and doing good things for others too.

Know that this is not going to last forever, it will change and things will get better in time. If you don't have a relationship with God, perhaps you may want to ask for His help. He is there for you.

Answer 8

ok well depending on your age...you can take a anti depresent but what i would recomend is going to see a psychologist. Maybe you just need someone to talk to about any concerns or problems in your life? Going to see a doctor such as this can often release alot of mental stress on yourself and can make you feel loads better.

this is whtat i would recomend.

Answer 9

hmm... this is not the first time.

well, seeking pro help works wonders.

but sometimes, taking it easy helps you to relieve yourself of stress from med fees :)

firstly, lead life normally, take everything that turns out bad for you as passing wind and a lesson learnt

try to find some positive sides to it.

eg.: if you think your food is bad, tell yourself at least next time i wont buy this set meal again.

if your gf/bf dumps you, tell yourself that she has missed out on the best thing in the world.

etc.

think positive:)

Answer 10

Set some simple goals for yourself that you can complete. You always feel great when you ran that extra mile, or learned to do that special thing. If you can afford it, donate lots of money to charity.
