Ever have one of "those" days?

Wow...you and I have a very similar story. My life for the past few years has been just the way you described until I was diagnosed with depression and put on meds (Lexapro). This really snapped me out of the funk but I still have those days (very rarely) where I feel the same way as you do...it almost feels as though your body rejects the meds that day and you slip back into your old self...luckily for me it's never lasted more than 1 or 2 days at a time.

Oh yeah, it's either a hot "sticky" Sunday or a Monday with nothing to do. I hate those days because it's just a waste of 24 hours. Hahaha.

go get your nap ravenladyj. and i hope you'll feel recharged upon waking up. i do have those days, too. when i feel like my brain's not working much at all. i love in to myLot. and i find too many good discussions. but i just can't find my brain working on how to respond to them. i tried but my brain just wants to stop thinking words for awhile and relax. what i do is stay in bed for awhile. take an hour or a two hour nap. and then, i try to do some chores at home. mostly, i end up doing the dishes and doing the laundry. haha. great way of having the brain recharged, huh? anyway, hope you feel good soon raven!... anne

HuMan should have control on their behaviour. It is essential for every individual of us.. Every time we should remember our Aim as well as Destiny & only after that we will receive our expected moment. Infact we are individually a huge world & every time we keep our control in the hand of ourself. Only if we continue our positive (Moral) activities then we will feel that we are in right way then we will also receive a positive streanth that will force us for the next part of control & we will feel active & we will like to continue our activities.

I think I am in such a situation most of the times when I am not at work on something really challenging to the brain. I just feel sort of restless, as if it is so lethargic that doing this is out, doing that is also out. I would ruled out most of the activities I wanted to do. The mind might want to do something, but the body just refuse to budge, or it may be the other way round. Even when I want to go to sleep, the brain just refuse to let me sleep. It is not really tired, but I just do not feel like doing anything. So what I do? Just laze around, lie in front of the TV, let the time past by, minute by minute, hour by hour until it is bedtime.

yeah i know wat you r exactly talking about cuz past few years of my life have been exactly like that...since i got into my damn engineering program i have felt like this...i dont have much of friends cuz everyone's mean around...no one to talk to sometimes and parents getting on your nerves...it feels like S**t....i listen to hard rock to bail myself out of such times...it just helps me pull of my anger and frustration....it is a viscious circle that never ends once it has started so i would advice you to get out of it quickle...talk to friends,go to some place,party maybe,,,just dont let this depression take over you....hope u feel better....take care...bye

Oh lord yes have I had those kinds of days!!! They're really hard to explain too. I usually try to wade it out. I figure eventually I'll get back to normal. Sometimes I force myself to do something I know I love to do to see if that helps. Sometimes going to see family helps too (although mine are two hours away). And sometimes seeing my family brings them on because I miss them so much and I feel like I miss too much of their lives.

I have those kind of days every so often. It is like I am just here and there is nothing going on. Like I am a robot waiting for instructions. It is like I am hibernating with no past or no future. And maybe no reason for being here. I am not on any meds myself. And I do have some days that I kind of feel tired but at least I can still function. The only way I can come back to the planet is to get busy doing some of the things I usually do every day. It takes a lot of energy to get focused and to stay that way long enough to get anything accomplished. I sometimes have these days when on this site. There is nothing for me to do here and I go on and on with no real motivation. Strange.

i never had those days when i think i am not happy, i'm not sad, i'm not angry. there are many bad days when I do not feel happy at all. i feel very sad. nowadys these days have increased in numbers i think.

yeah, i do. once in a while. those are days when i feel just blah. like nothing is in my head, i don't want to do anything, i don't want to interact with anyone, there's no emotion but blankness.. and i couldn't give a damn what happens around me. ^__^;; how do i snap out of it? i don't really know. i guess by responsibility. like, there is still a little part in my head that is responsive and still knows what are my responsibilities to everything around me. so if that part knows its time to get going (either for work or some obligation), i would snap out of the blahness. ^__^;; and everything would go back to normal.

Blame it on hormones!! I've been having days like that evey once in awhile. I just cannot explain why is this happening... Sometimes I just feel sad out of no reason even frustrated at times...Sigh....

Well, i have experience that one where i feel numb, i dont feel anything, any emotions..and sometimes i like it, so that i wont be thinking of somethings that can hurt me or that can make me cry..

I don't have days like that very often, but when I do, I pretty much just don't do anything. I just lounge around and watch TV or surf the internet idly, and eventually I either snap out of it or I go to sleep and feel better the next day. I think if you are exhausted on top of feeling blah, a nap might be the best way to go. At least it will have a chance of giving you a little more energy! :)

Last time I had one of those days where I was just feeling blah and didn't really have the motivation to do anything was 2 days ago. However, I have the flu so in my defense I'm sick as hell and well I still feel blah. Yesterday was the first time really this week that I've actualy gotten up and did anything productive around the house. Outside of going to the bathroom and taking meds I've been in bed most of the week. The only other time I've really felt like that I was pregnant so I'm guessing if you ain't sick ya might wanna go pee on a stick just to make sure lol.

Oh I HATE days like that. I always seem to be able to feel they are coming the moment I wake up and set up on the side of the bed. It takes me a while to figure out how to get out of it. Sometimes taking a walk works, others it's singing really loudly with the radio (and really badly LOL), calling friends, go for a swim, or start a project I have been putting off. I can say I have to force myself to do any of things, the thought of them never seems to appeal to me. However once I get started it does seem to help and then I can start finding other things to do from there that keep me going all day. Just a week ago I went through this and I went from a 2-mile walk, to rearranging the kitchen cabinets, to moving my Fridge out and cleaning behind it. Then that went into organizing our CDs to...oh I can't remember, but I kept busy until bedtime and the day felt much better. Yet then again, sometimes none of that works and I end up curled on the couch with a blanket and the remote. Sometime I just have to give up and give in. :o(

I have these days from time to time too. I've been feeling pretty much the same over the last few days and I think it's because of the recent changes I've been making. I have to take into account what calories I'm eating and what I'm burning each day and I think my body is still trying to adjust to the shock of not being able to gorge itself on whatever it wants LOL. Of course, it could be that my inner child is kicking up a stink too and having a hissy fit! :P I usually do what my body tells me though. If I feel like having a nap, I have one. There's no point in trying to fight it, because if I do, I end up feeling even worse. If you can though, try and force yourself to get out and about, even if it's just for a short walk. I can guarantee you'll start to feel better when you get out.

been there and done that. Did you ever wake up knowing instantly it was going to be one of those days? How do you manage to function. When I am having one of "those" days I consider myself lucky to get my kids up, fed and off to school for the day if thats where they need to be if not they pretty much have free reign that day simply because I can't even think let alone pass discipline for their transgretions. I can't even get online simply because nothing makes sense my brain simply does not want to work its a wonder even the basic systems in my own body are working at the point it's like being on minimal life support. It usually takes me a few days before it passes I've been told it may be similar to bipolar disorder. As for snapping out of it I just go with the flow because I know nothing I try will work so I let it run its course. It does seem to be getting worse though lasting for longer periods of time than it used to. I have lived with it pretty much all my life and have no real clue what to do for it.
