feeling stuck

Hi, my name is Display.

I am feeling very stuck today. Down and like there is no hope to get better.

I have gotten stuck playing Solitaire on the computer. that is what i do with all my free time, of which i seem to have a lot.

i don't know what else to say. people make suggestions for things for me to do, and all i can think of is "No".

don't seem to be able to take pleasure in anything.

thanks for listening,

Hi display,

Sounds like you are having a depression low at the moment.:( I know that I am getting down when nothing sounds like fun, or of interest to me...especially when the my usual favorite things are not even appealing.

I am sorry that you are not feeling well right now. I know that it is hard to break free of the stuck feeling...the more dowm you feel, the more it is tempting to isolate and do something comfortable, like staying on the computer...but of course the cycle just contiues that way.

I think that it is about finding a balance between doing what is within your comfort zone, and pushing beyond it just a little bit, to get out of the rut...even temporarily.

Try to get out and go for a walk if you can today. Or write your feelings (or thoughts, dreams, hopes...) down in a journal. Try doing what usually makes you happy, even if you don't feel like doing it right away...you may find that once you get started, you will be enjoying yourself.

If you continue to feel down, please consider making an appointment with your doctor/therapist to talk about this, so that you can discuss options for feeling better in the long term.

For now, know that we are here for your support. We understand, and are cheering you on! :)

Let us know how you are doing soon okay?

S.C.
