Having a bad night. Anyone want to talk?

Yes, definitely.

Thanks all, happy to hear from you. I don't really know, feeling kind of emotionally unstable today. Do you guys ever get that? Where you're perfectly happy for part of the day and then suddenly you're down?

Hey!

Hi

What is wrong?

You alright?

Do you know what is causing it?

Yes

I’m here for you too. My mood tends to change throughout every day❤️

Hi Tia, read Cat's comments, she's been there before and has really helped. Thanks Cat, I'm going to try, knowing that it's helped you gives me hope.

You’re very welcome guys. Another thing I do almost every morning and night is listen to music and write in my journal.

Maybe a few times. I feel down a lot, which is to be expected with our condition, and I appreciate being able to talk to people when I am. But if I get too depressed, I really have a hard time going out. I’m very happy you got to out with your friend?

Thank you, I'm glad I did that. Are you feeling down now?

Yes, I have that sometimes

How do you cope? It's been maybe ten years since the last time this happened. Just like the last time it doesn't feel like there's an obvious reason. I'm really trying to kick my bad habits but I wonder if I maybe haven't figured out what to replace them with you know?

I have had a very rough couple of days too. You’re not alone ?

Thank you, really. What are we going to do about it?

I’ve felt hopeless more times than I can count and gotten through it every time. It gives me hope and I hope that does the same for you too❤️

Hey I have to fall asleep too now, but my heartbeat is so fast that I cannot overcome it and just sleep.

Try to find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take some slow deep breaths. Then try to relax every muscle in your body from head to toe.

Is that like a general journal about your day? I haven't done that in years. Music is awesome, just watched A Star is Born and taught myself shallow on guitar.

Yes, but I also write about my goals and struggles. I tend to write the same things day after day, but that totally fine.

Having the same goals and struggles every day is probably a good sign. I went through a phase where I was too OCD to write in my journal because it would ruin the "newness" of the book, how ironic isn't that?

I’ve had a hard time writing and typing when my OCD is really bad. But hey, I love the newness of books too!?

Yeah? You too?

No, sorry, but I do get what you’re saying. My OCD shut me down from writing for a different reason. I have a lot of intrusive thoughts about just about everything I do and I suspect part of it is magical thinking. I always feel like I have to write things a certain way, so it makes it really difficult. It makes it hard for me to text people too.

I see, I really appreciate that you took the time to write today then.

You’re very welcome. I’m feeling better today than I was yesterday. It makes me happy to be here helping you❤️.

I'm glad to hear it. So am I, I forced myself to get out and meet with a friend, I actually wanted to but I held myself back anyway. Ever done that?

I’m actually doing pretty well right now. Thank you so much for asking. It really means a lot.

My pleasure, I'm feeling better today and want to pay it forward :)

It’s very much appreciated. I’m glad you’re feeling better?

Thank you, likewise :)
