My therapist has suggested a plethora of ways for me to pick myself back up when the lows get really low. I'm sure you're familiar with most of them, take a walk outside, listen to your favorite song, do your breathing exercises, etc. And to be honest with you, these tactics usually work. The problem is that I don't want them to cause i don't want to feel better when I'm in these lows. They're rough and heavy and heartbreaking. But if they're so unpleasant why are they so comfortable. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense to find comfort in discomfort and perhaps I'm not wording this feeling properly. But there's something so inviting and familiar about the near depressive state I find myself in.
