I see my pdoc tomorrow. Well a nurse practioner because my pdoc is out on maternity leave. But i am struggling with depression. I feel like i am failing at life and am a burden to my husband. I have no friends and no hobbies. Every thing i attempt to do falls through within a week. All i want to do is sleep or sit there and think about nothing. I feel like a zombie with no constructive thoughts. ---

I was like this the first few years of my sickness. I then choose to master a subject and to study it. I started working out really slowly. And I told myself I need to constantly move during the weekday and give myself a break on the weekend. No matter what I thought or how I felt I told myself to keep moving even if my mind thought it was stupid. I started doing stupid things around the house. Being busy during the week gave me a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Now I have habits and they feel more effortless. I still get bad days from schz, but I’m better than I was years ago. I hope you get over this hump soon. Feeling like crap sucks. ---

if you take a hot shower followed by a cold one you can raise your mood and dopamine naturally. It lasts for hours and is equivalent to a 250% rise in dopamine which is more than cocaine. I take 2 a day! and it works most of the time for me. ---

I’m sorry you feel like that, I get you because I feel like that sometimes too I would advice you to work out when you feel like that You can do a normal dance or aerobics work out but there are “happy” work out on YouTube you could try to lift your mood too If you have enough money I advice you to buy saffron on Amazon too It’s good for depressive symptoms You can drink it as a tea or put it in your food when you cook ---

Sorry you feel like that, i have a depression too, and it’s hard to give a good advice because people are so different from each other. I wish you (and i) feel better soon ---
