In reply to feeling low...need some support, posted by dimple on January 28, 2006, at 6:55:06
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so low. I can sympathize as I am going through some anxiety and depression now too.
I heard this is very common for people with anxiety disorders and depression to feel good during the week when they are busy and then to feel overwhelmed and unhappy on the weekends. I guess weekends tend to be a time when more people socialize, so maybe that is why you feel this way. Have you talked to your doctor about this? Maybe you need a med adjustment. Perhaps, if you make a definite plan for your weekend then you won't feel this way. For instance, Saturday could be a day when you do some baking or organising and Sunday is for a craft or something. Maybe having free time is overwhelming and you need to plan it. I know myself that worrying is a waste of time but that is one of our problems, right? Don't beat yourself up for your anxiety and depression. I know that's easier said than done. I am not really knowledgeable about these things, I'm trying to figure out my own problems but so many on here are very knowledgable. I wish you the best.
