yeh i get that we all have bad days. But with mental health the bad days seem to take there toll more. Sometimes lasting more than just one day.
How can you explain to someone who doesn't have mental health issues. Who isn't prone to prolonged periods of feeling so bad that even getting out of bed might be a chore. When the dark cloud arrives it will be the one that decides when it leaves. You can call it every name under the sun but it's still gonna be there.
I know when I get days like that I take myself away from everyone and really don't have the energy to do anything pro active. Most of the times it's either sleeping or watching you tube. Some people think I should do more but how do you explain it in the correct way that you don't sound that your just making excuses that all you want to do is nothing.
Previously before I was diagnosed I would sleep for periods of time during the day - mainly the afternoon. I still do it some times now. It was one of the symptoms I went to the dr with when I first said help. Something isn't right.
How does everyone else deal with there "bad" days? Do they let them win or do they try and be proactive through it?
As I was told by my nurse even managing to get up on a bad day is seen as a victory. It's just little steps and how they are perceived.
