Very nicely put,i know EXACTLY where your comming from.To take a walk without anxiety forcing some kind of destination on it.I personaly miss fall,right when school started,the smell in the air,the cool breeze that makes a sweater just enough to feel perfectably comfortable.
The smell,and feeling of halloween,the tingiling when u see stores put out halloween items,knowing its that time again.The feeling when u see it starts to get a wee bit dark around 5pm.
Lets not even START with Christmas.Holidays and seens brough all types of smells,and feelings,each one distinct and each one such an INCREDABLE JOY.
Needless to say that is all gone since depression came,now its always one big straight road,it dosesnet matter to me whether its july or november,theres no smells,no feelings in my the pit of my stomach.I wonder a lot if aside from the depression itself,is the medication going to block those feelings from ever comming again even if my depression is controlled.
Also,about the sleep deprivation,i also notice even a 2-3 hr sleep resulting in a very early am wake say 5-6am is ok too.
When i pop up at 6am and accept two hrs of sleep im productive from the onset and stay so all day.
ITS THE FULL 6-8 hr sleep that kills me,i wake like someone has been jumping on my head all night,i dont pop up and beging doing stuff,instead i seek my bed again,it takes a bit of time to get moving,and its just all togther crappy.
NO sleep,or a short 2-3 sleep early am wake up,definatly a contrast for me than a FULL nights sleep,which is what most will actualy recomend,yuck.I recently did a post on this exact thing!
