[Guest]

I don't know how to explain, I was feeling fine one minute and the next just really depressed and feeling physically sick
any ideas anyone

Kat don't worry about it we all do it just try and think of something positive I know its hard on a miserable day like today but if you are in a good part of Cumbria just look outside oops its dark now isn't it. Well just think of someting good or put your favourite music on. Try and spend sometime on yourself this weekend.
All the best

We all get days like that sometimes, take Tony's advice, it's good.

Kat, not just me then - I feel like Im on an emotional roller coaster lately, nothing is forever - this too shall pass.

Go for a swim or a walk: well it works for me.

Exercise is good, as Excalibur said, and so is Tony's idea of listening to music, or you could try watching a favourite film if you have a DVD player?

thanx for the advice guys, i feel in a better mood today.
It was strange tho yesterday coz one minute i was fine then..........
I've been doing alot of reading lately. I've got a few jobs to do 2day that might take my mind off things

Glad you're feeling a bit better today, Kat.

Hope the advice is helpful, and I can vouch for it all. Exercise is wonderful. Jut walking the dog does it for me, even if the dog doesn't want to go.

When you do feel down, keep telling yourself it won't last forever.

Next time you start to feel down, make a little 'me time' and take care of yourself.

Kat,

My advice is if you are having more down days than up days is to have a chat with your GP. Depression isn't a steady state, it comes in waves. I think that's why so many people wait ... and wait ... and wait some more before asking for help. Me included. Me especially.
