Debbie Cousinsの日記, 2019年 11月 1日

Debbie, I feel for you. I went through a bout of depression and poor sleep, the only thing that worked was for me to fake it at work and improve my self-talk.  

Oh he’s not out of options hun! There are lots of meds out there. I’m on my third mood stabilizer and he kept saying ‘there’s one more we can try’ but I looked them up and there are dozens for anxiety, bipolar and regular depression. I too have days where I just don’t want to do anything. In fact, my floors need vacuumed and I haven’t done it in two weeks. 

❤️ 

everyone has some good days and bad days, as have i. i completely understand how you feel, but you have to patient and give you some time to heal, emotionally and physically....you just have to give yourself some time. and don't forget, love yourself and God loves you too :) 

my heart goes out to you. I just push through days like that and I don't have them as often as I used to. I'm on 2 antidepressants. Have been since 1998. I find keeping busy on those days helps alot. Also reaching out to my friends. I can give you my number if you want hunny. I'm a good listener 😉. 

aw that stinks. I know the feeling <3 have you heard of CBT? the book "Feeling Good" by Dr David Burns has helped me build more positive self-talk 

Sending positive energy and light your direction. Having been in the dark depths myself in the past, I know this struggle of yours is hard. You are NOT alone. We are all here for you along your journey to better health. (((((hugs))))) 

Change of season is hard! 

Sending positive energy your way!!! You are not alone! 

Debbie, you are not alone on that someday I don't want to wake up but I push myself and i am a spiritual person so I pray a lot.  

try reading "The Magnesium Miracle " by Carolyn Dean ( even if you have already tried magnesium, it needs to be pico magnesium. the book explains better than I can.  

Debbie, I'm sorry you are struggling. Sending a hug & good vibes to you ❤💕 

thank you, Debbie Cousins, 

.. I know that feeling .. just want to wake up in another day. One day, you will, really. Hang in there. That's how it happens.  

Hugs & support. Wish I could click the support button 100 times. 

Sometimes antidepressants can have the wrong effect - maybe you could find out if that is happening - wishing you all the best 

Saying a prayer for you! 

Debbie, maybe you've heard me say this before, but I struggled with depression most of my life. I had many diagnosis but no real help, though I tried a lot of drugs and therapy. When I went Paleo, I felt much better and figured out that I need to be gluten free (later at my insistence, I was tested for Celiac). Then I eliminated all sugar and all grains, and I have not had any depression since then; not a day. Many people respond well to keto for mental health. Look up Dr. Georgia Eade. She's a psychiatrist who treats people with low carb for depression, etc. She's got good YouTube videos. I just wish I had figured this out sooner. I stay strict keto more for this than for weight loss, though the two go together. Hope this helps. My heart goes out to you; it's such a downer to feel blue all the time. 

Debbie, I have high anxiety and PTSD. I manage my anxiety with a small .5 dose of Xanax every morning to ward off any panic attack I might end up with, can take more if I need it. Just like I went days without my water/ blood pressure pill, I was out of my Xanax for a few days longer. I was at work last Thursday and ended up in a room with my heart pounding, total tears because panic attacks feel like your going to die. My coworker went to the pharmacy for me and grabbed my prescription. I worry too much, it’s the person I am and I have gone through things. There’s a stigma on mental health and it’s disgusting. Thank you for being so open luv❤️ 💜💚 

Thank you, everyone, for your kind responses. I managed to resist the temptation to make Tapioca Pudding today; therefore, I didn't eat any. (Maybe if I stop CAPITALIZING "Tapioca Pudding" it will stop being so important to me!) I stayed within my RDI for Calories, got in my Water and my 20+ grams of Fiber. The day has finally come almost to an end, and I've survived better than I expected to. Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts, good advice, and prayers.
