CoCo2009 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 When I get off of work I just want to go home, Walk my dog, eat and watch television. Just want to be alone watching dvd's or surfing the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallingAllAngels Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's not unhealthy for now. I went through a period where all I did was want to come home and watch TV. I was depressed, and it worked for me for a while. Just don't let it last too long. Be gentle with yourself...you'll be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Fury Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 sometimes I don't want to be bothered with people either. Is it an every day thing? Do you want to be alone all the time, or do you sometimes want to be around friends and family? there is nothing wrong with needing "me" time. I would say unless you're depressed and reclusive and never want to be around other people, there's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time alone sometimes. Especially when you're tired from work.

CoCo2009 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 well I mostly always want to be alone and yes I am depressed Oh lord this is bad huh? I feel happy when I'm alone because I just got my own apartment and like not being bothered with anyone. I have even started to tell my boyfriend I want to be alone. Maybe I am going through a phase?

KiCkiT Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I went through a phase like that...Well, I'm still kind of in it. In my experience, it gets worse and worse with each passing day. Is there a specific reason you are depressed? Maybe if you tackle that, it can help you break the cycle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoCo2009 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 well I'm taking something for depression I don't know why I'm depressed. I have a lot of problems within myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's okay hon for the short term as long as you feel okay while you're doing it. Don't overthink it. If it goes on longer than 6 months, then I would get concerned.

Aurian Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Some people are happy spending time alone and find that the best way to recharge their batteries. However, if this is a recent change and you are pushing away those close to you (boyfriend) in order to do so on a regular basis, then it might be depression. Maybe you need to speak with a psychologist? Someone who can help diagnose your depression (be it from something bothering you or a chemical imbalance).

itsallgrand Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A good home yardstick is to go through a mental or even written checklist and see if you have been, or are, neglecting things that are important to you and that are important for the future. With depression, the first thing to go is work for the future. Don't give up on that. A down cycle of resting at home and recharging is fine. I go through those a lot. The important thing is that you aren't giving up on things you really want in the process. feel better soon. Is this your first time living alone? That can bring up stuff, with all the changes and trying to get into new swing of things and balance again. So some time for adjustment is normal. Some time just enjoying all that space for you too.

CoCo2009 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 what so funny? Well baked chicken or something. Its probably unhealthy because I really don't want to eat most of the time. I am losing so much weight and I really don't need to be right now. Kinda bad but whatever I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoCo2009 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I just want to give up and stop living. I'm tired of all this bs I'm doing everyday. All I do is post on this board everyday that my life sucks. I know people think I'm crazy because some have stopped posting to me or replying to my posts all together. I dont' have money to go to therapy. I barely have 40.00 and I need that. I am taking these stupid zoloft pills the doctor gave me and they aren't doing a damn thing. I wake up crying every freaking morning and I just can't stand this crap anymore. Im done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im done. i'm not sure anybody here is going to help your mental state. i think you need to calm down and take a deep breath. please don't say you want to stop living. that's no answer to anything. maybe the medication is making you this way. i'd try calling the doc's office and explain how you feel.

ImThatGirl Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 In Love~ I wasn't laughing about the thread. Just that when I read your post, I immediately thought is this emotionally healthy? And Ghost jumped in with the physical health points. Dunno - just a different line of thinking than I was on. I say take some time for yourself. Work towards training your mind away from anxiety, panic, and frustration. Work on taking one day at a time and self control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Ghost. You need to get in and see the Dr. Your loss of appetite is a sign of depression. Certainly a sign of not wanting to live anymore is DEFINATLY a sign of depression. Life is a precious gift. C'mon now. You can pull it together enough to call the Dr and make an appointment! You're here for a reason...we all are. Call your doctor and post and let us know how it goes, won't you? ~Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
