Time stands still

By Kyle Saturday, May 05, 2012

I'm slow and sluggish at the moment. Nothing seems to help me my mind just keeps wandering aimlessly. Totally sucks.

 

I may not mind it so much if anything good came from it but really it's like wasted effort. Nothing good comes of it. When you can't focus you turn to tunnel vision.

 

I can't even write a good post but this works for catching up I guess.

 

Have a good day, everyone. I'm very tired so I'm gonna go to sleep.

Hi Kyle,

 

this feeling that you have is like a mirage. It is your depression that has convinced you that you will feel this way. The best thing to do, in similar situations, is to put your gloves on and tell your depression that no matter how it wants you to feel you will  do the opposite. If the depression tells you to go to bed and not get up and spend the day there ruminating you do the opposite. You get up and engage in something constructive. Is it possible to do the opposite of what our depression tells us to do? My wfie and I do it all the time and it works. It takes a lot of effort at first but it comes easier after a while. Even deeply depressed people can function well and do everything they need to do. Not everyone can do it but a number of people can. I think it is a matter of mind over matter or midfulness.
