Do you ever wake up depressed? You rollover and crack your eyes open and sigh. Here's another day. You wonder why you really are'nt dead yet and wonder why this life keeps going on.
How do you deal with it? What coping mechanisms have worked for you?

There are many times when I wake up in the morning where I just want the world to go away. I just want to curl up and not get out of bed or deal with anything. I force myself to get up. I know others need me to get them up and so I force myself to do it. Don't want to but it's the only way I would some days.

yeah. Thank goodness nobody needs me that much anymore. They used to. And I still have to be careful when I talk to my kids.

I wake up depressed almost everyday. There was a time (and it still happens every now and again) when I see the sun and the trees and the green in the world and I get very angry that I am still alive. When I get to that point, I know I'm in trouble.... Trouble with a capital T. I used to have a wonderful therapist that I could turn to to help me during these times. Since I have moved to a new part of the country, I don't have that support anymore.
The best way to cope, I have found, is to have that solid support system... either a therapist, good friends who will listen and not judge you, family, and activities where you can channel some of that negative energy. And then there are the days when I just need to roll over and go back to sleep. But that's me.

Usually I don't get depressed without apparent reason but reason for depression are not hard to find lol also I'm mildly depressed almost all of the time so it's not really hard for me to live with it.. When I'm deeply depressed and If there's no urgent things to take care of; I spend most of my day sleeping or laying in the dark but it's good to go out see a movie or meet someone if you can and not totally surrender to it.
