Feeling very “off”

Lately I’ve been feeling so off. I’ve realized I’ve been having more “bad” days. Long story short I’ve been living in pain for over a year and was told I need back surgery. Due to the pain and injury I’ve had many restrictions. I’m unable to do a lot of the things I normally do and I’ve been just sitting around mostly every day not doing much. I almost think I’m slightly depressed. The surgery is about a month away but I just feel like all my emotions are finally hitting me. Like today I felt so upset and lonely and almost spaced out. I’ve been trying to stay positive but I just feel overwhelmed.

Do you watch any shows? Do you have a journal to write something down? Your thoughts and feelings? Or are you just lounging and doom scrolling on your phone?

You should look into Postcrossing! It’s a super fun website where you can send and receive postcards all over the world. Mail was something that really helped me feel less alone during COVID and has continued to do so. It’s a nice little surprise in your mailbox and always a crafty hobby. I’ve been where you are and sending all positive vibes your way!!🫶🏻

i hope you can find a hobby that is peaceful for you and i know chronic pain is so stressful but think of it—in just a month you’ll begin a new life with reduced pain ❤️ i have a chronic illness and have found joy in art and birdwatching and reading. i know the feelings are so tough. not being able to live like you’re used to is so hard. good on you for noticing these feelings and sharing them and still wanting to keep your head up.

I’m going through the same thing. But I don’t want surgery. I am depressed because I can’t function like I used too and my pain is daily. I’ve been taking pain pills but worried now I might be affecting my liver or kidneys?? I’m feeling insecure all the time and so depressed.

Just don't have it in me to go anywhere, it's been a week. I've gone out once to grocery shop because I had to. I can feel myself getting worse I think. I have been doing a lot of avoiding. I have been avoiding doing things all summer. I hit a wall last week, I had a really bad day and nothing triggered it, it was just a down day. I did a lot of reflecting and realized how okay I'm not. I'm not at my rock bottom, I've been there before. I'm functional for the most part but I'm not okay. Scheduled an appointment with a psychologist last week. It's on the 31st. I'm nervous but hopeful.

advice pls!!

For the past 4 days I’ve been waking up severally depressed and feeling unemotional. I feel weak and my head hurts so much, the past week I was struggling and crying all day due to intrusive thoughts. I cant even fight them now, I know I won’t do anything but I used anxiety as my safety barrier. Now that it’s not there it feels like something terrible will happen. I overall do not feel okay and I’m scared to go to the hospital due to being hospitalized since I have suicidal intrusive thoughts. I just turned 17 and I’m scared but my therapy starts tomorrow. I just feel so weak and depressed I can barley think right since I just woke up

Stuck

I feel like crap. I am out in medication but I know it is not a fix all. I know I still have to work on this and I am still going to have tough days I am just so scared that I am not living my life ti the fullest. I am just really tired. I am trying my hardest though. I am scared the most about not being happy. I have had to live one day at a time before. I don’t want it ti get that bad again. I feel like I am just stuck in this infante loop. I am happy, then normal then horrible then slowly I pick myself up again and I can be happy but I miss out on so much while I am miserable. It is the worst feeling. It feels like nothing can fix this, all my fears are true and life has no meaning. I have am having a really hard week. I am sick, I m trying to socialize, I am doing work, I am away from home. It is just really hard right now. And I am scared it is going to just get worse
