Title: Dysphoric nature acting up for no reason
Post by: lauren3332 on May 25, 2009, 11:14:40 PM
So, today I was at the mall and I was completely angry and depressed all day.  Does anybody ever get episodes where your just down without there being a particular reason?

Hi, My GID is constantly jabbing me. Its a constant battle to fight off the depression and try and just get on with life. I usually think of people who seem to be worse off than I and that helps me to be more appretiative and thankful for the good things I do have. But yeah the GD is constantly there. :'(

Like CoolJ, I tend to focus on the other great things I have in my life, the other blessings that exist and it tends to make me feel appreciative, humble, and less worried about what I don't have.  This dramatically lessens the impact of my GID "attacks" because I don't spend a lot of time focusing on them or the things I've "lost" or "won't ever have" etc.

You are not alone.

It's important to stop and take note of the fact that we live in stressful times. The economy's bad and will remain so for a long time to come, there's a lot wrong with our politics, there's social confusion on many fronts...all of this takes a toll, and more so when we don't quite notice it consciously but still experience it at subconscious levels.

Feelings come and go, like waves on an angled beach, and sometimes they converge to make an extra big splash. It's perfectly okay to realize, "Oh, okay, I've just got the bad feelings piled up right now. Is there something constructive I can do for myself? Or maybe I just need to keep as much inner quiet as I can, avoid big drastic mistakes, and wait it out."

You can't control your feelings, but you can control your reactions to them, and on some level depression is a choice. After a certain point its out of your control, but normally you decide wether or not to dwell on it.
