In reply to how does anybody here deal with feeling like....., posted by sleepygirl on July 4, 2006, at 23:47:15
I don't know what to say about this, except that I have a fair amount of it myself...
I guess I try to find some sort of balance, between the avoidance and the enjoyment and the overwhelmed feelings. Operative word being "try," since I spend a huge amount of time in both avoiding and feeling overwhelmed. In between, though, I do find some enjoyment.
I can't say that I've got anything like passion right now, though.
You know how I describe it to myself? It's as though I've dug in my heels, and am being pulled forward against my will. Can you relate to that?
I'll be interested to see what others have to say about this. I keep thinking that if only I worked hard enough, I'd do better. But you know what else? All of this is part of depression/anxiety for me. I think that if I could get meds working well, it would improve.
Hope there's something there that helps a bit...
