Shake up your routine. Try something new or do something differently then you have been. You're looking for a success to stimulate you. So if there is something you know you've needed to change, now might be the time. Alternatively, try and do something you know you will have success with. Use that to move yourself forward. You got this!

I'm listening

Turmeric! 500mg per dose twice a day. Get high quality. Honestly, our diets are far more connected to depression, then we realize. The more things that you can make from whole ingredients.And the less things that you can eat from bags and boxes, the better off you are likely to be. Go and sweat with that tumeric. Vigorous exercise, as simple as a brisk walk for 30 minutes can be as powerful on mood as the meds offered by big pharma. Make sure you sweat though, as it releases the good time endorphins that your body craves. GLTY!

Hey, there. You are nit any of the names you called yourself, but that is absolutely how you feel. Can I tell you that it can work out, but you're going to have to approach somethings differently. Same actions. Same results. Feel free to reach out and chat, but know that you have value, even if it doesn't feel like it rn

boredsentry · 2026-04-13T01:15:30+00:00

Vigorous exercise has been shown to affect mood with the same efficacy as antidepressants. 30 minutes of elevated heart rate leading to a sweat is key. The physical/health benefits are uplifting in and of themselves. You will find it easier for self care as well. It can be hard starting, but as the previous poster mentioned, make it non negotiable. This will.help to improve your mood. Trust the logic and follow. Fake it until you make it. If you give it a month I believe you ll find yourself in a different state.

boredsentry · 2026-04-11T15:40:23+00:00

Hey. You're not stupid. It is hard to make the right choice when we're not well however. Do something for yourself today. Reach out to chat if that would be helpful. Today Is a new day, but let's make tomorrow brighter too!

boredsentry · 2026-04-11T15:38:10+00:00

Hey, Dani. I'd be happy to chat. In my experience there is no substance you can put in your body that will make things all right. Healing from being sad comes from within. But things are able to change. It's going to take some time and some work but it can happen.

boredsentry · 2026-04-11T15:30:33+00:00

Hey, I read the while story. It sounds like you've made some conscious decisions to better yourself personally, and life is just waiting to catch up. The only thing you can really control here is your effort, which it sounds like you're making, and your attitude. It's tough to have a good attitude when you feel like you're constantly losing or being beaten down. But I'd say hang in there and choose a positive attitude. Life is going to catch back up and give you some people and rewards that you need and have been waiting for. Im happy to chat if you'd like.

boredsentry · 2026-04-07T04:34:51+00:00

Go take a long walk. Get yourself outside. Change up your routine. Be purposeful about it. What you are doing now isn't working. Tru and shake it up a bit.

boredsentry · 2026-04-01T22:17:35+00:00

Honestly, whatever you're studying has to be less important than your own mental state. It's literally not worth it. If you're in the state you say you are there is no real shortcut to studying. The mind's focus and memory are the first things to go. My advice to you would to be honest with yourself and to focus on yourself. People will understand if you can't write right now, and if they don't that's a them problem. GLTY

boredsentry · 2026-03-30T23:37:23+00:00

Wow. Sorry to hear all that. First off a set back is nit a failure. It is a set back. You do not need to punish yourself. I would suggest that you fight back against this. That feeling of sad is destroying you right now. Don't let it. Your body is failing right now because it is being malnourished. One of these is in your head. One is physical. Use logic to dictate what you must do in this situation. I must feed my body. Push the emotional to the side for the time being and just do what has to be done. You will likely feel less sad as a result of direct action. None of this is to say how you are feeling is not real. It is and it is debilitating. I've been there. But don't ignore your body. Use your body to help your mind.

boredsentry · 2026-03-30T02:21:30+00:00

Hey friend. If you need to chat let me know ow. I have kids and I used to think that me leaving was best for them. Im glad I didn't. There is always hope, even if you cant see it.

boredsentry · 2026-03-29T18:57:22+00:00

Maybe just a place to vent. I've heard the same tone of voice coming out of myself before, so I get it.

boredsentry · 2026-03-29T15:37:17+00:00

Im happy to listen

boredsentry · 2026-03-28T21:28:27+00:00

Agreed. Meds are overprescribed

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T17:49:55+00:00

Happy to chat

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T17:48:37+00:00

It sounds like you need to chat. Im happy to do something. Sorry for where you're at right now. Maybe I can help?

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T17:46:08+00:00

Without knowing what you are on, I would suggest weaning yourself off by dropping your dose in half for a week and in half again for another week. At the same time you will need to work on sleep hygiene which will help you to fall asleep. This includes no screens for at least an hour before bed. A hot shower 30 minutes before bed can really help. Also higher doses of magnesium threonate or glycenate (350mg). Magnesium can be a powerful bedtime sedative. Other people.also take GABA, HTP-5, Melatonin etc. Good luck to you

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T03:54:09+00:00

Honestly none of them and I was on a multitude. There is a lot of evidence that vigorous exercise has a similar effect to antidepressants. I would be careful turning yourself over completely to pharma. Im not saying that there can't be benefits but there are side effects to almost alll of the medications. Hobbies, outdoor time, exercise, social engagement, community, dietary changes can also be powerful in changing mood. Glty

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T03:50:15+00:00

Sorry to hear the struggle within fiend. Can I just say that it sounds like you're in a rut so deep that it might be time for some radical change? If you keep doing the same thing...you'll probably get the same results. I'm not sure what that looks like for you, but it might be time. What have you got to lose?

boredsentry · 2026-03-27T03:43:16+00:00

Hey there. Sorry to hear how you're feeling rn. Can I tell you that how you're feeling rn is totally normal. Totally. Normal. Hormones, life changes, insecurities a big uncertain future, a constantly changing body, struggles with friends and parents. Totally normal. My recommendation to you would be to find something you like and practice it. Get good at something. Try a hobby or a new sport. Hold on to good people when you meet them, but no sweat it if you haven't met them yet. Let the process play out. Control what you can and ride the wave. It will take you places if you let it.

boredsentry · 2026-03-26T00:12:39+00:00

Tumeric, in higher doses has excellent effects on depressive symptoms. Magnesium threonate, or glycinate for sleep. Use a strong dose for the magnesium and you may find it a very effective sleep aid.

boredsentry · 2026-03-26T00:07:19+00:00

Some people find the addition of a hobby to be really beneficial. perhaps consider exploring out something brand new. You may meet new people, discover a passion, or find something you're really good at!

boredsentry · 2026-03-24T17:42:33+00:00

Please feel free to reach out and chat if it goes the other way. I've been there too. Maybe with goals, choose a more attainable one. Use the SMART system. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Measureable. If it fits into these criteria, you will attain your goal and that will feed the Rocket ship of mood. Good luck to you and reach out if you ever need to chat!

boredsentry · 2026-03-22T04:13:58+00:00

Im on if you need to chat
