How depressed are you today?

[listener1987]

Well I do feel pretty sad today. Like a 10/10 sad. Like my life is falling apart sad. Like wtf can I do to ever do to fix this sad. But I have to keep moving forward the best I can.

Awww Surrender <3 I'm so sorry! =( I know this was yesterday, but is today any better?


There's a new section on the forum called "Member Journals" - if you want to tell us about what's going on in your life I'd love to hear it! Only if you're comfortable, of course. It might be encouraging in this setting, and feel good to write it out. Just a suggestion!


I hope things get better soon <3

I would say probably 2-3. Apart from my sinus giving me some trouble, I had a relatively good day. I have come to realize that no matter how much there may be adversities, as long as there is life, there is hope and its no use moping over an adverse situation because it won't help. The best that one can do is motivate themselves in seeking a solution.

On a scale from 1-10? I'm probably on a 5 today, it could've been higher had I not finished my work today but I pulled through even though I didn't feel like it and I'm glad I did, I'm able to relax for the night which is amazing for me. Depression has been constant for me for the last week simply because of little things and sadly there's nothing I can do about it, I'll have to deal with it until things fall into place again. Arrgh.. life goes on I guess.

Today I'm actually feeling pretty good. It's a long weekend, so I've had my husband home this weekend and it's been helpful having him around - for company and for helping with our daughter. My stress levels don't feel too high, and that's a big thing that plays into my anxiety and then my depression - so overall for me right now I can't complain. I'd say I'm only a 2 out of 10 on the rating scale.

Not very depressed today. I mean look, there are a lot of things that can make me depressed right now. But, for the last few days, I have been able to achieve a couple of important things in my life. One of them relates to physically completing a variety of long distance runs. I mean my legs were killing me yesterday, but my self confidence was sky high. And then someone handed me flax seed oil, which increased bloodflow and removed even that pain. So, now I am confident I can run even more. And that just makes me soooooo happy

Today? I would say a low one. Actually, it should be zero since I am in good spirits. However, there's a little pesky cold that's clogging my sinuses which is why I put it as one. Anyway, it's almost at an end. I am already coughing up the phlegm which, for me, always signals the end of the infection.  I think of the phlegm as the carcasses of the dead germs which have been defeated by my immunity system.

Today was better than most days recently because I finally got to go out shopping. I've been delaying it for weeks now because my shopping day was always being cancelled because of some other plan popping up. After weeks of delay I finally got to buy the things I wanted to buy and I got to buy a good amount so now I'm feeling good and excited wanting to review everything I bought once I get some energy back.

The purpose of this thread is wrong. It's like asking a suicidal person what method would he/she like to use. Rather than how much we should ask why and how can the problems be solved, because that's the only way we can help people get over depression.

I would say about a 5. I am more frustrated than anything else, but I found I had a bit more money in my bank account than I thought, so that helped. I never feel that good, but I have felt worse. I need to get someone to look at my dishwasher as it has gotten pretty non functional. As a matter of fact it isn't really washing..so that is a problem. I will work on that in a bit. I did post my snowboard again on a yardsale site, so that is something I wanted to do.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say a 6. I found that I was reflecting on some matters that was not going the way I would have liked and it was somehat  worrying to me. The good thing however, was that I fought to shake of that feeling of temporary despair by changing the focus to the ways and means that might enable me to relieve the negative state I am in.

Today's been okay...  much better than yesterday was! But today I've managed to stay fairly neutral in mood, so I guess that's a good thing compared to what it could be...

Probably 1. Well I don't feel depressed today or sad. I feel thankful actually because something good happened today and one of my problems have been solved. Still there are things that gets me stressed like work stuffs to be certain. Even though I feel stressed, it's rare to me to become depressed unless it's a big issue or perhaps when I feel being neglected especially from the person I care most. I'm too weak in terms of handling my emotions to be honest. That's why I'm thankful I haven't been depressed lately.

Well I just got up. I had been having some issues with my neck muscles, and I thought I might be sick. However, I discovered I think, it is the way I was twisting my head to look at the alarm clock, which was kind of at an odd angle. Problem solved! I was sincerely worried about this for awhile. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I was having depressing thoughts before I got up, but knowing what the neck issue is, made me feel better..so hmm maybe 3.

I am depressed but I can't quantify the magnitude maybe because I am trying my best to fight it. I was hit by flu this Monday and adding to my misery is that my computer broke down. When ever I would try to fix the problem,  the flu would manifest.  Since yesterday I was in bed rest mode,  trying to get well physically before I tackle the technical problem of my computer. 


Last night I took medication. .. tranquilizer to calm down my nerves.  But I woke up 3 times in the middle of the night with my computer on my mind.

I have my moments.  When the bills start rolling in and i have to find a way to pay them is when I start getting depressed.  If I had a bunch of money sitting there, then it wouldn't be on the back of my mind haunting me.  As of right now, I have bills to pay and I'm struggling to pay them in a week.  The end of the month is just around the corner.

I was babysitting most of the day so I was really happy today. I was really depressed last night, though, due to family issues.
