I've spent most of today writing code with tears streaming down my face. This should not be taken as a comment on the quality of my code, but probably does indicate that I'm not exactly out of the depression woods just yet.
Urgh, that sounds pretty unpleasant. FWIW today did turn into a Bad Day, I'm in a foul mood, but no tears as of yet - just didn't make it out for social stuff. Again.
Don't keep pushing yourself into this. Stop. Step away. Take a holiday, whether it's a day, a week, a month, decide how long you think you need, then don't let yourself/make yourself do any work in that time. And don't feel guilty for not doing it.
If there's stuff you find enjoyable, if not just zombie out in front of films or something, and try to get outside everyday at least a bit, sunshine and fresh air can really help. Try to make an effort to eat properly too. That can help. Multivits and minerals if you can't quite manage though.
You've recently been beaten up, and I doubt you've let yourself recover. If you can step out of the cycle now, and let yourself heal you can probably end up with less time depressed and struggling over all, even though it means for now stopping completely.
Sending you hugs. As much as I proclaim myself to be "cured" (because I'm able to leave the house and function relatively normally etc, compared to when I was "properly" depressed and exceedingly non-functional), every so often I have blips of epic meh and spiralling negativity, and it takes me back. So, empathy.
*HUGS* Sorry to hear that. :-( Yesterday seems to have been One of Those Days for a few people; myself included. Take very great care of yourself hun, hope you feel better soon. x
ah, don't we all. i have a tendency to pretend it's all situational and not do anything to stave it off in a "normal" month, that is until i discovered boxing circuits :) they're pretty happy-making.
