Ups and Downs

[samtheman]

Do you have days/periods where you are more or less anxiety and depression free. You can pretty much doing anything you want, then other days where you feel totally rubbish?

Last week I felt excellent, content, happy with life. This week I feel totally hopless, I've went out and tried to get on with things but it doesn't get any better, I still feel rubbish, on edge, in a mood.

Sadly this week I am off work on holiday, I wanted to go out and do things with the kids, which i have done the past couple of days but it was just not enjoyable while I am in this mood, then next week when stuck in work i'll be full of regrets.

Its just a constant up and down. However I've found little things like someone paying me a compliment can snap me out of it, yet I don't seem able to snap myself out of it.

Do you have these problems?

I can totally relate Sam. Maybe you're thinking too much about going back to work and that's putting pressure on you to enjoy your holiday. I know that may sound silly, but I think that's the case with me sometimes when I have to go to a party or social event - I'm so worried about whether or not I'm going to have fun etc. etc. that I end up feeling miserable - not enjoying the party and feeling terrible afterwards (especially if I didn't go!)

Hope you feel better!!

I also think routine is good for me. My mind has too much time to wander and create reasons to be anxious when I've got time on my hands. Wish I could just relax!!
