Pdoc seems to think flat is better than manic or depressed, and I guess he's right. Hell, even when I'm suicidally depressed, I still usually can't cry any more, not much in the way of tears any way.
@iloveanimals - That has to be so hard with your son. I'm sorry I don't have any advice in that regard, but you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
@JaneOnceMore - I hope the melantonin helps. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I combined melantonin and valerian to sleep even though it's not recommended to use both at the same time, but it was literally the only way I could get any sleep at all off psych meds. Desperate times. I hope you have fun at the party. I do envy those of you living in apartments/condos, etc.that have events for the residents. There are NEVER any resident events here in the suburbs where I live, not even on Neighbors' Night Out. I don't know my neighbors at all except to maybe wave to when I see them outside. Pretty sad state.
I'm doing well this morning, had another great night's sleep, slept pretty much 8.5 hr. straight. I took a power walk, had great energy. Ate breakfast and read with the SAD lamp. Made H's lunch, did a load of laundry, pretty much the usual. I drew 2 pictures today ( both in the creative corner). I need to start using a compass for the circles instead of just drawing freehand but I don't really like using compasses, rulers, etc when drawing. Not sure why.
I need to make lunch, and then I'm going to the library with my daughter so she can do her volunteer shift. I am SO glad my car is fixed, and I don't have to worry about it nearly stalling out at stoplights any more. Maybe we'll stop for Starbucks on the way home as a Valentine's Day treat.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I too have a hard time crying. But I cried really hard when I watched it ends with us. And thank you for your compassionate reply regarding my son. 💕
