First of all, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for being so friendly and constructive. You've made me feel very comfortable :).
Today I was very anxious, and I haven't been eating or sleeping properly. The eating is actually worrying me a bit, because I feel no desire to even think about eating... and I've got this godawful headache that's threatening to turn to a full-blown migraine. I decided not to go to yoga and I know that was the wrong thing.
Something has been troubling me lately. I don't know if anyone can relate, but I sometimes get the feeling like it's my fault that I feel this way.
No matter how much I tell myself that I can't stop the depression, or the anxiety, I feel like I'm doing this to myself. As if I'm somehow trying to sabotage my own recovery, or like this is a choice I've made.
And at the same time, I'm still trying to tell myself that nothing is wrong. Six years of denial from myself and everyone around me is a hard thing to shake, except those days I'm in a right state and it's easier to think "This is not how this should be".
And I feel so lonely, so much. I have all these friends, wonderful family, my partner, but I feel like I have no one to relate to or to confide in.
And I am in a state today and I don't like myself very much.
I'm just having a sulk.

I hope you are seeing your psych soon... the feeling that somehow you have done this to yourself .. is not a good sign... you are doing well challenging it... and remembering that you have loved ones helping you.. that is a good sign...

Feeling alone is part of depression...

hope this is helping ... i am not sure what else i can do to relieve your worry...

take care

Hi Vivica
You are not the only one that feels the way your feeling, i can relate to most of what your diary is saying.
I also feel sometimes like I am sabotaging my recovery, when i'm feeling good i look back at the bad days and think how the hell can i have depression and get like that, there is just so much that does'nt make any sense.
On my good days it just does'nt seem real.
Take care vivica

You need to see your psychiatrist asap because you are going through fairly normal feelings with depression/mental illness. What is your official diagnosis - I have so many things wrong with me you could write a book.

Eat something please as it will help the headache - as a migraine sufferer I know the importance of eating regularly so please eat - even if it is a banana.

Go Viv!!!
