Have you ever felt that you would want to take a long dirt nap and wake up in a week or so? :( just escape from life?....if so how do you snap out of it?
-
I don't think you can wake up from a dirt nap. :o
I suffer from chronic depression, so when I get into those kind of moods, there's no snapping out of it. Exercise sometimes helps, but that's only if I can get up enough motivation to do it in the first place. I usually just have to ride it out.
I hope you feel better soon.

Used to never have them but here recently seem to be having more of them and it is mostly because hubby seems to be in a crabby mood more and more. Some days I think it would be better if I just went to sleep and slept for 3-4 days before facing the world again. But what the heck he would even crabbier, yes I understand why he gets the way he does and it is the worry about his prostate cancer. But if I find things to do and try not to think about bad things, Maybe things will get better But have a feeling it is going to get worse as more time goes on.

Vicky my son in law just had a tumor taken out he had kidney cancer. He also has prostate cancer but his Dr told him that he would die from old age before the prostate cancer would get him. His Dr said that that is a very slow cancer and for him not to worry about that. His Dr was more concerned about the kidney cancer but they got that all out. Tell your hubby to hang in there.

sure feel that way sometimes.was getting so sick of cleaning the kitchen I thought when im dead wont have to do it anymore.Then I completely turn the next day and keep up good with the mess. trying to be a neat freak its hard .
-
Yeah....I feel that way sometimes....try to find something to cheer me up
-
Yes !! More times than I care to admit!! But I try to keep pushing forward
-
Yep. It is hard sometimes. I try to stay busy when I feel like that.
-
I am grateful that I have not felt like a dirt nap in a long time.

Generally the fastest way I use is music. I keep several playlists with certain things in mind such as trying to keep happy. I listen to a lot of '80's music so the playlist is filled with things like Walking on Sunshine, Summer of '69, etc. If I'm too in a mood and the music just sounds like noise I try to combat it the best way, with laughter. I have a set of movies/cartoons that never fail to make me laugh. I watch one of those. By the end I am usually feeling a bit better. If all else fails, I take a nap, recharge and wake up to start fresh, or a least with a bit brighter perspective of a matter.

There seem to be more and more people fighting depression. I am not sure what the cause is. I think a lot has to do with the foods and crap that is in the foods that we eat. Spending too much time online. Just life in general.
-
I would not mind that at all, I would just rent a hotel room and just relax and do my thing no care at all for me though.
-
I have felt that way before. Going to church helps with snapping out of that type of feeling. Going for a walk and being in the presence of nature also helps me too.
-
I am so sorry you feel that way. There is a good purpose for your life. You are loved and in my prayers.
-
catseye1 sorry to hear about your son -in law hope he continues to improve. you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Take one day at a time. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I have depression and anxiety. It happens. Mine comes on for no reason sometimes. I do my best to distract myself with anything I can get myself to do.

Hello!
Yes, I've felt like that from time to time. With everything I do online and offline I'm continuously busy and when I'm not working I'm thinking about bills that need to be paid. Yes, I definitely need a long nap so I can escape if only for a moment. We all need a bit of a break just to refresh our soul so we can see the brighter picture.
-
Thank you everyone, I don't think this weather is helping either. I mean 1 day it's cold then it's hot then cold again. And rain so much rain....you all are Awesome, HUGS
-
I think just about everyone has days like those at times in their life. When I do, usually I just have to roll with it until the next day. It can be surprising what 24 hours can change. On the other hand, I have SADD, and in winter, those long, dark, cold days can last for almost a week sometimes. When it's like that, it's not good!
-
Yeah, my depression's been kicking my butt lately. :( I'm also burned out because of school, but I'm hanging in there. Yeehaw.
-
Yes I do feel that way sometimes but I try to push on.
-
I think 1imaginarygirl is giving you the best advice. If you just get out and exercise, you will probably feel like yourself again in no time. Maybe take a run or a jog for a couple miles. That usually perks me right up.
-
Yes I feel that a lot. I try to fight it by staying busy, spending time with loved ones, and going for walks. There are lots of things you can do but these are the main ones I do.
-
Thanks everyone, it seems to come in waves :(

I'm sorry to hear you are not doing well and hope you feel better emotionally soon. You and your family will be in thoughts and prayers as others have said. Like 1imaginarygirl I suffer from chronic depression as well so what helps me is humor and keeping a light hearted mood. I try to watch comedies or go to sites that will make me laugh. Reading takes my mind off of how I'm feeling by imagining myself in the story and seeing how the characters act things out. Sometimes I take a walk when the weather allows and I practice smiling a lot. I heard smiling releases something in you that encourages your mood. I hope that helps.

Thank you, all of you helped me in 1 way or another :)

When I start to feel a bit down I listen to uplifting music, pray and go volunteer to feed the homeless. Doing something for others less fortunate always gives me a lift. I also think of things I'm really grateful for because there is always someone worse off than I am. Hope you feel better.
-
Yes, I have been there and know how it is to feel that way.
But I will just not do it because I have a lot of better things
do than just take a nap.
-
A short (no longer than 20 minutes) nap and a walk outside.

IF I was able to actually just go to sleep for a nap and was woke up 20 minutes later I would be mad. That would just make me feel worse. I have ever understood people saying taking nap for even 5 to 10 minutes will make you feel better. It certainly would not me. Just makes me more tired.

I was thinking that this morning. I'm off on a Saturday. WHAT? It's an unusual day for me. But it's raining out so when I rolled over I had this feeling of ugh! I just wanna sleep all day. Than the stiffness in my back reminded me get up and move dummy - you're going to feel better when you do.

Well you need a cat. It will jump on your head when it wants you to get up and feed it. So you have no options to think I am going to lay in the bed all day. OR even lay in the bed a few more minutes. lol
