Waking Up Depressed

[Noumi]

I don't know if this happens to other people but I wake up depressed.
=/
As soon as I awake I have this feeling inside, low self esteem, frustration, like really really depressed...
Why?
:confused:

I know how you feel. Lately I've been somewhat shocked if i didn't wake up feeling like that. You're not alone.

I have no idea why. i guess im as lost as you are.
Just try to make the best out of the day, get out of bed and do something that makes you happy!

[Noumi]

Yeah, I try so hard to be fine the whole day but at some points without even noticing I get a little sad. I have the feeling I might suffer from clinical depression. I'll have to se a therapist to confirm that.

I have chronic depression. I'm generally sad all the time. It's not as bad now as it was when I was younger, but that's only because I've finally started getting used to it. Anti-depressants don't work for me but doctors kept trying to give them to me so I just told them I was better and didn't need them anymore.

Some days, about 2 or 3 days a month, it can get really bad and I feel like I'd like to die, but I've never seriously considered suicide again since I tried it that one time when I was about 20.

The only thing that seems to help is music. But ironically sad music works the best. Somehow it makes me less sad, or feel like my sadness is ok because it's natural for lots of people to just be that way. I would like to not be depressed anymore but I've been this way more years than not and have trouble remembering when I didn't feel depressed.

Gosh I'm sorry I took your thread and used it to just talk about myself. I guess I really am self-centered sometimes. I hope you feel better someday. Maybe medications would work for you? Or maybe you just need a friend, or to spend more time with your family? Try listening to some music in the morning? Coffee? :)

Don't worry, Jacklinger, it's great that you shared your story with us.

I think that whats causing me this is all the criticism I get at work.They're always making fun of my personality because they say it's like childish. They say I'm to quite and I have to talk more. I'm also so sick and tired of hearing that I'm too skinny and I need to gain some weight... I mean i'm trying! =(
Why won't they just leave me alone!? I know I shouldn't care what they think about me but I'm really really sick of it. I think a lot about suicide, and I constantly have a lot of negative feelings like hate, revenge and resentment.
By the end of the day I feel so ugly and like a loser.

Oh hun, I totally know how you are feeling, I wake up every morning feeling the same way, its got to the stage where I literally have to force myself to get up out of bed, while ago I was really early and on the go all day, now I just feel so lethargic all the time. In my case I think it has to do with me coming off my antidepressants as soon as I was discharged from ED unit. Don't like taking tablets much, prefer to go it alone in that respect. I try and get out and go for a walk every day, helps to blow away the cobwebs and I come back feeling slightly better in myself.

yeah, its such a bad feeling, you just wish you could go back to sleep, so im unconcious to the feeling

[lory]

im in with this, i woke up this morning..thought of my boyfriend straight away (who is currently living across the world from me)..then i realised he wasnt there and just burst into tears.
well, this morning i guess that was a pretty sad thing for me..but other mornings i wake up depressed without even knowing why. and it really really sucks.

good to know we're not alone eh :)

I think it's just really really easy to be sad and really really hard to be happy. You never hear anyone say happiness loves company.

I feel like this randomly throught the day, every day. I get to the point where I feel pathetic for being sad because its not like I live under a bridge or anything. Horrible stuff happens to people all the time and I'm sad for no reason, it's ridiculous.

So I overly focus on the good stuff. If 20 million crap-tastic things happened that day, I try to focus on the fact that I got a good parking spot before class or work. Focus on the day if the weather is nice. Focus on happy things. Being sad is a cycle.

Smile at people, maybe they won't smile back but when they do it's nice and 2 out of 3 will lol
