temporary down times
So every so often i can start to feel really down and weepy sometimes just for days, but sometimes for a few weeks. i often find it difficult and slow to recover when bad things happen, and a lot of the time seriously lack motivation and have a negative outlook.
I have been to the doctors about this and a number of times they have suggested counselling, but i feel embarrassed and very guilty about how i sometimes feel because i really don't think i have sufficient reason to feel so low.
A lot of the time i am fine but after years of this on and off, i am just starting to consider tackling it as it can be quite isolating and i feel i have to pretend to be 'jolly' at times when i feel nothing close.
i was just wondering if anyone had been through the same sort of thing and if they had done anything specific that seems to have helped?
(i'm not suggesting this is anything terrible and i know people have things so much worse, as i say it comes perhaps in clusters.)

Don't worry- you're no alone in feeling this way. I get it sometimes too! You feel really down for a week or so and then you feel better again. The thing is, moods and how we feel often works in phases. We experience periods of happiness followed by times of real self doubt, and I think it's pretty normal. It often depends on what is going on around us and what is happening to us at the time. If you're having a real down period, try to remember that it won't last forever, though I know it's really hard to think that way when you're feeling in a bit of a bum situation! x

To help the situation, I have done the following:
Cried- often it's a great way just releasing the stress and anxiety etc that you're feeling at the time. I often feel a bit better after a good cry!
Talked to friends- surrounding yourself with people who you can trust and know can cheer you up is a real good one.
Gone for a walk- gives you a chance to escape and think things over.
Listened to real loud music- good for venting frustration and can often solve problems.
There's loads of other things but I think the key thing if to talk to people you know about your problems. Don't keep it to yourself I've bottled stuff up in the past and it relly messed me up. Getting an outsideview on the situation can really help you ee more sense and put your problems into perspective. Hope this has helped! x

I'm with Sophieeeee here. I can understand how you're feeling OP and hope you feel better soon. But the suggestions I would have given are pretty much exactly what Sophieeeee said.
