Hi everyone,

I hate to be a bother, but I would really appreciate hugs or kind words right now.

I haven't been feeling good (mentally) the last few days, I've hardly been outside since Tuesday, basically cooped up in the house. It has been raining LOTS, and for some reason rainy weather makes me really depressed.

I was planning on talking to my pdoc about how I've been feeling at our next appointment, but then today I looked at the appointment card and it said "September 20th, 4:00pm" I forgot about my appointment! Now I have to wait until Monday to reschedule, and I don't know if I'll have enough meds to last until the next appointment. And now I won't be able to talk to him about how I'm feeling.

I'm not even close to being suicidal, but this is always how it starts. I slip into a depressive episode until I can't take it anymore. I don't want that to happen. I'm just hoping that my depression will lift as soon as possible, the meds I'm on have been working fantastic so far, don't want them to crap out now.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Hey, (((((((((((((Melissa))))))))),

You'll pull out of it, you know you will. You'll do just fine. You've been through all this before. You know you'll feel better, the weather will clear up, there'll be sunshine outside and inside you too.

It's very strange how it's so hard to believe in sunlight when it's raining, hard to believe in calm, sunshine optimism when one's little boat is beset by night storms. We've all been through it a thousand times. Before and after. Black and white. Sunshine and showers. Always believing in what we're living this instant, never being able to feel and believe in the change we know is coming.

But it's coming, Melissa. As sure as God made little green apples. The dark is followed by the light. For everyone. And for you. Take care.

((((((Melissa)))))) I am sorry your feeling like this.. You are not alone.

Give yourself just a second longer, take 1 more breath, take 1 step closer to the corner of the block you're walking around. In one of those moments, or steps, or breaths, you'll discover that you've begun a new path.

You have gone through this so have I only rainy gloomy days make me happy and I get depressed on shiny happy sunny days but when this happens you just have to try to be positive n matter how difficult because it will help you mentally. I want you to know that most members of PC are there for you if not all there are many caring people and I would give you hugs if I knew you but I don't so you can have virtual hugs instead.

it doesn't sound like a rant to me, sounds like you are down , for lots of reasons, plus, you need to see the t and you forgot. just when i need him the most, he is not there... i love rain, as i am in a desert area, (more ways than one.) if you don't get outside, maybe do something nice inside, like music or tea... i would really panic if i didn't have meds, or even thinking i might not have meds... hope you do ok, your in my thoughts. i send hugs, and would you please send rain my way? thanks.

Hang in there, not long till Monday ((((((((( melissa.recovering ))))))))

Keep telling yourself it is just temporary and call your doc as soon as you can.

Big hugs.

A bother? NO WAY! Missing appointments? Been there! (And showing up at the wrong time... oh yes.) When Monday comes and you call to set up your appointment, see if they can do a refill to see you through till the appointment day. You surely don't need the stress of meds being so low, and I'll bet they'd do that. It would certainly help to ease your mind while awaiting your next appointment.

And of course you can have hugs!
