I am a bit low tonight.I slept all day today from morning through the afternoon and evening,it is now 22.25 and I am wide awake.I am going to be awake for at least the next five hours,so gonna do the washing up and make a chick pea casserole for tomorrow's dinner.

I am trying to be patient with myself and not beat up on myself for sleeping through the daytime.It is one of those things that gets messed up and I have to put it right.I am depressed after all it is hard to keep things straight when we are depressed,I have also been anxious and worried about my benefits assessment that is happening on 22 June.

Depression eats up your mental health and drags you down and stops you functioning,any chore is a big effort even something like brushing your teeth can be like climbing a mountain.I also find it hard to deal with depression when I am alone and lonely...I sometimes wish I had a partner to help and encourage me.

Hopefully this latest bout of depression will lift for a while and i'll get some respite.
