Depression and regret *no triggs*

Post by VowsOfSadness » Mon Jun 13, 2005 3:41 pm

I know depression makes you do this and I try not to talk about it but I think I should so that it will go away. i shouldn't pretend that I am all alone in this. Okay here goes....

Do you ever get happy and do things and you don't regret them, they are little things, but later on when you are depressed you feel bad about them even though you know you shouldn't? Things that no one would give a second thought to you dwell on for days?

Yeah it is kind of sucky. But I have noticed sometimes it goes away in a few days or hours other times not so fast

I was wondering since this is coping what kind of things could we do to cope with these feelings?
-I will post back with my ideas when I think of maybe five of them

yea that happens to me alot too. Pretty much everytime i have a good day or went out and have fun, i'll end up feeling guilty for being happy like i don't deserve to do fun things or be happy, or deserve any good things in my life. At this time though no ideas for coping with this feeling

Yes, I do it too. It's made even worse because when I'm 'up' I can do really stupid things that when I come 'down' again, I regret, feel guilty about and hate myself for for days, weeks, months...

For me, I'll usually regret the fact that I said something or didn't, or that I looked a certain way, or that I acted a certain way. It's not the fact that I feel I didn't deserve to have a good day, it's more that I nitpick what I did to people or to myself that makes what used to be a good day seem like a sin.

its the opposite with me...what happens is im really up crazily hyper and cant stop laughing and than its starts like the 'down' phase. i know its starting and it lasts a few days till i hit the bottom than things sloly start improving agian..but it always feels like its so hopless and desperate when im down. like whens it ever gonna stop..i used to really believe this wud be the last down time when things wud improve i'd always thin this isnt gonna happen again it cant cos im happy and i was pathetic to be so down but than i gave up on that. now i just wait till it ends and just pick myself up and try to not dread the next 'down' time... sorry went a bit off topic here :oops: :oops:
