Of course, it maybe time for a meds check, and if you have a suicide plan, please call 911 and let them help you.
However, all of that notwithstanding,
I'm going to propose a radical thought. It just may be ridiculous, but here goes.
What if it's okay just to be really miserable every now and then? I mean, just try and relax against it, don't fight it, or try to end it, just accept the fact that right now I am miserable.
and that you may be miserable tomorrow, but you may not be. I don't know. And then leave it at that.I get the miseries too, they wax and wane just like the moon sometimes. I'm down for two weeks, then I don't know what happens (a solar flare or something equally as random I think) but one morning I wake up and things are a little lighter. And then I regret all of that energy that I wasted trying not to be miserable. And just feel grateful that I don't.
I think it all sounds very Zen, but maybe that's one way to handle it.
