I had a quiet day. I have the worst awful stomach ache and i'm worried because they usually last about twelve hours to several days. I'm able to drink water and eat digestive biscuits, so i am determined to do that, as dehydration and deprivation just made things worse last time.

I found out my former brother-in-law died in March, just a month after my former father-in-law. It made me sad because he was just in his sixties and it was cancer. My poor former niece, losing her dad and granddad within a month of each other.

I had a nice time looking back thru my Facebook page. It cheered me up to see how active and engaged i used to be. This current two-year bout of mild depression has really taken the stuffing out of me. I thought i might be embarrassed at the posts i made during hypomania, but was relieved to find i just sounded really joyful. I like being that person but she is too expensive and unsustainable.

@Blue_Bird:

Sorry to hear you broke up with your boyfriend, but you sound very sensible, that long-distance relationships are not too worthwhile.

@June08:

I get morning depression too, so that makes four of us here. I feel better in the evenings. The afternoons are so-so. Glad parent night went well. It's hard to remember people you don't see on a regular basis. Glad your homeroom class is getting along nicely.

@Crazy Hitch:

I'm glad you're trying to improve your work situation by looking into primary schools. That takes courage! I know the obstacles are hard, but all you can do is keep at it.

@BeyondtheRainbow:

Sorry to hear about your anxiety. I hate anxiety worse than depression.

@Blueberrybook:

Glad to hear you are feeling relatively well and hope the drive to the library with your daughter at the wheel was not too overwhelming.

Hugs to all!
