Things to remember!
Added 2018-06-18 15:58:11 +0000 UTCAnyone who has seen my snap story today will know I have been up all night sick! ๐ท I have been in bed all day just genuinely feeling crappy and not having any energy to move or do anything! But I remembered, you gotta look after yourself! When fighting mentally, a physical illness can really effect you and your day but don't let it win. Fight back!
Here is a little list of things to try to remember when your physically or mentally ill or both like me today! I hope they can help in some way โค๏ธ
โข Do something you enjoy, even just one little thing!
โขwatch a feel good movie
โขtreat yourself to something
โข take a relaxing bath with extra bubbles
โขeat your favourite food (if you can keep it down!)
โขlisten to happy music
โขgo for a walk
โข read a few chapters in a book
โขstart watching a new series you think looks good
โขtake a nap
โขplay a game you like
โขor just message a friend or call someone for a chat ๐
It can be so hard to take that first move and get yourself going but I promise you it's better than being left sitting alone or lying down in bed with your mind overthinking! You deserve to be looked after, so do it!
Ive promised myself that tomorrow I'm going to try and make an effort to wear some pretty make up and do some 3D printing! Make a promise to yourself too ๐
Stay strong and please remember that I do really care about you, it's like another family for me coming on here and opening up to you guys and recieving lots of support back! I'm so thankful ๐
Take care!

I'm on the highest level of anti depressants, recently they even gave me another drug to combine because I feel the same way as you. Nothing makes me happy anymore, but things help distract you, which is very important. If you leave yourself in a state of being alone with your mind - te negativity will build and make you feel even worse. My strategy is just trying my best to give myself little things to do - you might not get much enjoyment but they stop you being left alone to fester bad thoughts. They say taking helps too, it's never helped me but everyone is different so please message me if you ever want to share anything or just a simple chat ๐ I really hope your medication is helpful to you! Don't be scared to tell your doctor if you feel it's not right for you r not working because there are many different ones that can help per individual - stay strong ๐

2018-06-20 11:07:53 +0000 UTCToday I started taking antidepressants. Not anything super strong but it's first time in my life I'm taking any drugs like this. Because basically nothing from the list your mentioned is working. Things that I like doesn't make me happy anymore, I can't focus enough to read a book and people around me irritates me... so fingers crossed maybe this will at least jump-start my brain to start producing serotonin.
