Good Days

[IamThisOne]

I was just wondering if those of you going through depression ever have good days. Today was probably one of my good days. I didn't really get happy, I just didn't feel anything all day. I guess just empty. My brain wasn't on overdrive with horrible thoughts, I've just been in a fog all day.

Sometimes I don't feel right when I get like this because I am so used to being miserable. I've grown used to sitting on my bed all night anxious and crying with thoughts of suicide flashing throughout my mind.

If you have good days, what are they like?

good days are when everyone pretty much leaves me alone, I don't get worried or upset/emo, I'm working on the car or at the gym, basically I just get to be free from negative thoughts.

When I can just be free. No one to tell me what to do or bother me. I barely show any signs of social anxiety when i'm having a good day. Playing sports is really what makes a day perfect for me. I love to just go to the gym and shoot some hoops or pass football outside of school with some friends.

I have good days... I go through extreme highs and extreme lows, many of my "high" days I am very hopeful and feel as if my entire future I can do whatever I want with. These highs come to me when I am remembering the freedom and youth I have, and that there's a way out if it when I want to begin to work on it. I also think of all the people in the world and the different opportunities and unique individuals and relationships that i'm going to be able to form once I break this barrier... I think of the world and the cultures i'm going to get to explore, the landscapes I have yet to see, tribes I have yet to learn from... the eternity of nature. These days I know as hopeful days. (Of course, I don't feel like this in the public eye, but these are the days where I tend to test myself and venture outside)

A good day for me has pretty much nothing to do with me..

It all comes down to what situation other people create. That situation will decide whether I'm capable of getting to do the things I need to to have a good day.

The things I need for a good day:

• Good night sleep,
• Recent shower (sounds straight forward, but sometimes I can't),
• No tension (verbal fights/shouting),
• No migraine (I tend to get them when I relax),
• Preferably no more then 1 person in the house,
• Any weather except a dull gray sky (that's Sunday weather, blagh),
• No upcoming social meeting,
• Nice old fashion homemade dinner.
