feel like crap-3 days in bed

Hang on Victor. No feeling lasts forever, it will change. No matter how dark the clouds, the blue sky is still there, always! Keeping you in my prayers tonight, friend.
 
Hang on my friend, you're reaching out and we are all here for you.

You've supported many of us in the past and now it's your turn to lean on us.

Wishing you peace and healing

Hey there victor. Feelin' ya here, had a pretty crap weekend. Never got out of second gear. Lots of wanting to sleep. Lots of wanting to hide out, avoid people, kill time. Lots of hiding from your own thoughts. I feel these things pass in time. Let your sleep and your idle times be the points where your subconscious mind churns away on your problems, and before too long, you'll know what you need to know.

Until then, hang in there. It's easy to forget that you don't have to feel this way all the time, and that better times will come.
 
Sorry you are down. You must live near me - it's been raining most of a week now. No sunshine. Shorter days with fall. Lol. Seriously though we are all reaching down to pull you up and out. These things too will pass but sometimes we just have to take that first step toward. Do you have someone you can call on?
 
Victor - i hope you are willing and able to seek professional help. there are times when we need an expert. our good wishes are with you - but you may need more than that.

please avail yourself of whatever resources may help.
holding you in my thoughts and prayers,
Lee
 
Hi Victor,

Sounds like you are in the middle of ancient stuff. Perhaps you can make friends with this darkness, and come to know yourself better. When I'm moving through really dark times it can be difficult to remember it is not all that I am.

Your first job is to take great care of yourself. Only after you've dipped into the well to satisfy your own thirst can you have energy to give to others.

I can't know what you need, but the purpose of my words is to say I care what happens to you and I'm sending you love and support.

Victor (and not victim),

One of my favorite bible quotes, (which was used in an entirely different context than what I take from it), is And It Came To Pass

It didn't come to stay, it came to pass.

Sometime when our feelings of despair and hopelessness wreck such havoc on us to the point it affects us physically, the only thing we can do is reach out. Reach out for understanding, empathy, caring to someone who knows what you're talking about. We may not know how to cure the symptoms, but most of us know the feelings very well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this really dark time. My hope is that you will very soon arrive on the "victory" side.
 
Victor,
I am so sorry that you are going through these all-too-familiar feelings of hopelessness and despair! It is a scary, lonely place to be; however, if you are like me it can be strangely "safe" at the same time. I struggle with major depression so have an idea what you are going through. I know that when I get that low and can't physically get out of bed and want to isolate, I remind myself that I can't wait until I "feel" good enough to do something, I just have to "do" something regardless of the feelings. This gives me a sense of empowerment if I can maintain it long enough. Little steps sometimes...I cannot wait for myself to feel better before I engage it has to be the other way around. Once I begin to take care of myself again and act on the question, "What needs to be done right now?" and actually take steps to do it (sometimes I have to break steps down into steps) I find that I begin to come out of the depression. It may not feel like it now, but nothing lasts forever..."This too shall pass" Be patient and kind to yourself.
Sending my love and support your way,
John
 
Victor- it had been almost a year now that I was in one of the darkest places I had seen. Circumstances forced my hand. Although it was one of the hardest things I ever did I listened to my 23 yr old daughter. I let her take me to the 'hospital'. It was only through that where I found the IOP program. And subsequently my current therapist that have all made the combined effort plus MS that had been a turning point in my recovery. My wish is that you be well and find hope once again. No place is really too dark for those who love us. We only think and fear it is. Their strength is greater than we know or give them credit in times of crisis.
 
I've always found that music helps shatter the ice when I go into a really dark spiral of existing, just treading water in time watching the hours crawl bye so quickly and realize they amount to nothing.

I have a few pieces of music I always get to shattering the illusion with, usually because I'm at the stage where I'm listening to anything to try and destract myself, and then hit something that hurts. It's usually more painful than not, and results in crying, but worth it afterwardd.


I know the experience of music is an important one for you Victor, maybe that would work.

If not, fare enough, though feel free to share anything your able to or not as the case may be.
 
It's strange because I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you posting here much lately. I'm very sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad. I agree with dark empathy, maybe music can help? Or journaling? I really hope you find a way out of this soon.
