I have become very depressed. I had a friend over for Easter, and our being together did not go very well. Christmas had been similar. One good thing is that I refuse to let the next major holiday that comes along be a reason for me to jeopardize my mental health.

Up through Monday morning, I had been doing pretty well for weeks. I was moving along on what I need to do about my claim for SSDI. I have quite a bit of paperwork to do now. I became very depressed over not getting along with my house guest. Now I am down in that pit again. I tell myself that I will not be here forever. I always do recover. But it takes time. I am feeling awful right now.

I have the responsibility to do what the law firm needs me to do to advance the claim. Tonight I won't be doing anything. This can't keep up. I am disappointed in the law firm. That makes it even more important for me to do my part. I have to get over being this dispirited and move on. I know from experience that it takes me time to recover. I can't take forever. I can't mope around for a few weeks. Things need doing.

PC has helped me in the past. I hope that with the kind support of the many at PC who have helped me before that I can speed up the process a bit and get on with things.
