Depression


I'm feeling down today. Have been for much of the last wee

I just had a good vacation, but I really don't want to be back at wor I want a vacation away from myself- just leave, and leave myself behind. Forget all the things that bug me, irritate me, annoy me. Dispense with my habits and flaws.

But I know that's not going to happen.

Before anyone suggests that I get help, I already have. I used to feel like this all the time, but now it's just an occasional darkness. I'll hang in, and get through it.

But feel free to send me hugs.

Last week was my melt down week, so I know where you're coming from. Sometimes no matter how much help is offered, how many family or friends tell you it will be ok, we just have to lose ourselves. I lost myself in music that I liked that made me cry until I couldn't cry anymore and I fell asleep finally after days. When I woke up the sky was blue , the air was fresh and it felt like a new beginning. I know this doesn't help you, I wish it did. Find strength in what you love.

I've been there, too. Each person who has commented so far has made some really good points. Follow the things you love! Turn on some music that really makes you feel good! Allow time to play it's role in healing! And as someone else has said, this site isn't exactly a pick-me-up place in it's totality, so being here will likely only make you feel worse by all of the rudeness, discouragement, frustration and negativity that mostly surrounds us all here! Take time away from here for a good long while. Allow yourself to go through the motions of meltdown and then tomorrow is a fresh new start. Engulf yourself in the things that you personally find enjoyable, positive, relaxing and fulfilling. Trust me, I've been there before and it's no fun. Hang in there, my friend. Things will get better if you take everyone's advice.

Hugs coming your way.

We are going into out 9th week of lockdown, with the possibility of not being able to be with our loved ones for Christmas.

The week before I was to start a new job, lockdown started. I live on my own, and staring at the four walls was sending me into a deep depression.

I decided to go to the local park and sit in my car and have a picnic. I've progressed to not having a picnic, but walking around the oval a few times, Although this has helped, there are still the odd days/nights,I can't stop crying.

It's my sons Birthday and I'm not allowed to see him. So far three other friends and two more up coming, Birthdays we have not been able to celebrate.

I hope things get better for you soon.

Thanks, everyone. I'm feeling much better, now.

Actually, I felt much better a few hours after posting this. I went to work, read some emails, found something that absolutely infuriated me, ranted and raved and frothed in private for a while, then realized that the thing that so infuriated me actually didn't apply to me this year, so hey! I'm happy!

I'll still take nudes, though.
