not to air out all of my traumatic laundry but a member of my family was recently diagnosed with a serious illness which caused me to spiral into a second depressive episode this fall lmao. i'm working on it with my therapist though and also looking at pretty clothes and outfits on here helps for now

i hope everyone else is doing okay! i live far up north so we're getting very little sunlight right now, if you're in a similar environment remember to take your vitamins and i can't recommend light therapy enough. take care!

fellow 'imbos... the US election has me feeling some typa way! (not good, constantly on edge, reminded of how much of this country is full of bigots and hatred, dipping into my xanax for anxiety)

Anyone else living with anhedonia--lack of pleasure from things, including activities you used to like?

I used to like cooking & baking, so today I tried a new recipe. Despite following directions, it was a failure. I got chocolatey cookie crumbs instead of double chocolate cookies. Other previous hobbies don't feel good either, like reading. I try to read but I feel like I just can't get into the story anymore.

I think I might have some sort of weird reverse seasonal depression, which is fun. It rained for the first time this season on friday and I had my most productive day since...well, since the last time it rained. I think I just need to live somewhere where it rains more lol

yes unfortunately this has been most of my quarantine mood... although for me, its partially because im still forced to do education, which just isnt the right thing for my motivation right now. i hope we can both get through it :(

I did for a very long time. It is, or was for me at least, a symptom of deep depression. The funny thing is that for a long period of time, even though i knew i was deeply depressed, I didn’t acknowledge to myself how the things that used to give me so much joy didn’t do anything for me any more. But i did them anyway, hoping that one day things would change and I’d find joy in them again. I didn’t really have any other hope at the time. The realisation came though when i was surfing one day, it was a beautiful day, there were lots of people out having fun and i just wasn’t, and i was screaming (at myself) and my brother paddled past, stopped and looked at me blankly and simply questioned (without wanting an answer) why i was so angry. I realised that i was unhappy to the core. My depression had permeated so deeply that I struggled to enjoy much at all and from I gradually stopped doing the things i previously found pleasure in. But I have found pleasure in things again after getting on top of my my depression though I haven’t found the love or find the same degree of pleasure in all the things i used to enjoy doing, my perspective and interests have changed.

Which is supposedly exactly what you are supposed to do. I believe the professionals call it "behavior activation."

I have mentioned on here before that I've been inpatient in psych hospitals, in "partial hospitalization" (day programs), and "intensive" group therapies. These all said that you're just supposed to keep on keeping on, so to speak. The problem, in my opinion, is that forcing myself to do something I used to enjoy not only doesn't make me enjoy it again, but it also doesn't address the root cause(s) of depression.

Perhaps I will send you a DM to discuss it more. Thank you for sharing.

Ah, yes. School online can be very different than in-person. I am not currently in school, but I did have some online classes in university. So, I understand it's a very different form of learning. I think some people do better with it than others.

I'm so tired of having meltdowns over small insignificant things I'm so tired of feeling bad and lonely. i can't take my meds lately because they're making me nauseous so I'm just not well atm and i don't know what to do until my next doctor appointment.
i always feel like I'm not a good person and i feel that there's not much of a reason for me to even exist when I'm stuck not being able to take my meds like this and it's just so stressful and scary feeling like I'm not able to control my stress and my episodes and I'm worried i could really mess something up
