I don't really post about myself on here often, but sometimes i guess its good to even just get your thoughts out as opposed to them swirling around all the time. Basically, i feel as ough i've kinda taken a small step backward, for a good while, i've been taking my twice daily antidepressent, and things in life have been bad, but i've been stable, mood wise. I've not been better, but i've not been worse. Now, with no obvious trigger, i suddenly for the last while have felt very low, vulnerable and lonely. And it is just so frustrating because i just wanna curl up in bed and hibernate. Also doesn't help that i have an ATOS medical coming up, my friends are all at uni and going out etc, just feel pretty meh.

Everyone has worse days at some point, it's certainly nothing to feel bad about! If it persists, though, it might be worth talking to your GP or someone similar about whether or not your medication is working for you.

I'm sorry you feel things aren't going well for you in this moment in time. Unfortunately that is often how things go. Very few people only take steps forward. Is there anything you can think of that might distract you or give you a few moment's relief at all? Sometimes just a small thing can help you gain at least a few minutes peace from the crappiness. You're still young, you still have time to do your own stuff and have fun, even if it's not possible right now. It seems like you have some good friends from MiLO. They may well know the feeling and be able to talk to you and listen. I'm here to listen if you like. You seem like a good person. I hope things can start to get better soon.

Hey Joe, I know you don't post here much about your personal struggle. So, it is great to see that you have managed to do so. You mention that there is no obvious trigger, so maybe these feelings are down to the ATOS meeting coming up? Assume you are feeling pretty anxious about that. Have you had negative experiences with ATOS before? I am asking as you said you felt low, vulnerable and lonely that along with your meeting coming up screams to me that you are feeling helpless. So, maybe think of what you can control within your life at the moment and use that to help make you feel more in control. Doesn't even have to something big it could be something small if that helps.
But having said all that it is equally okay to want to curl up and stay in bed for a bit Joe, nobody (worthy of a mention) will judge for it.
