You don't want this post from me, because I'm one of these who always go on facts, hard and cold and at times even efficient. But I've been in that hole, not being able to breathe or speak, so you will have this post anyway.

1. It will get better. You been here before and you survived, because you are that strong. You just don't feel it right now, but you will.

2. Drink. Dehydration affects mind, nerves and judgment. Water is your friend.

3. Make sure to eat. Melons works, strangely enough.

4. Move. Walking activates your endorphins. You already know this, but when being down on one's knees like that a remainder might very well be in place.

Cut yourself some serious slack. It's normal to not function when being in this state. You need some nursing before finding your feet again, but your feet sure are still there.

Thank you, and I read your advice and took it to heart.

I have for a long time tried to live the way my shrink say I should live, in order to survive....eat regularly, sleep during the nights and not during the days, do something productive even if only something very small, move about, even if it is only in my own home.

and I do try to follow this...

I think I cut myself slack, too much in fact, as I don't get my act together...on the other hand I do have an illness to fight so I don't often know what I am doing at all, or how I am feeling or not feeling. It's mostly a blur or a panic.

thanks for helping out!
hugs

I was in the same, exact place on Monday. It is now Wednesday and I don't feel great, but I feel better. You might feel a bit better by Sunday. Try to get through to Sunday and go into the woods then.

On serious amounts of meds, but no, not feeling much better to tell you the truth.

then again, I have to keep reminding myself, it's an illness, and it's circumstances that are there either because of the illness, or the other way around. I can't cope with any stress, and for me, stress comes in so many shapes and forms, there are so many things I simply can't deal with, or do. Or I do them and it stressed the living daylight out of me. Like being around people...I love it and I can be the seemingly happiest person on the planet always around people, but then I just fall in to a pitt and it takes me so long time to recoperate, longer for each year I am alive.

I don't see much hope of a good future for myself, none at all in fact.
