I'm so depressed and my house is a mess. All I can do is shower. Sat around all day. I think I'm depressing the dogs. I can't even fool my husband. I just can't seem to get out of this rut, I feel like I'm in quicksand. This depression is out of the norm for me so I have no idea how to get out of it. I just keep catastrophizing, which makes it so much worse.

I'm still a bit stressed over money. I see things I need but have no money for yet. My disability check has not kicked in and I have a nine yr old with Xmas dreams. I have a eighteen yr old with dreams of me helping with buying a cash car. I don't believe in Xmas but I don't want to ruin it for them. My nine yr old I want to get a game system. Because someone broke in our townhouse in September and stole ours. That's it from me. Her dad and other family members that celebrate will have plenty for her. My older daughter could careless if she gets her gift after Xmas day.

I've been also been low today because I'm abt to get rid of my 1 yr old dog. I've had her since April 2015. She triggers me

EPA 900mg in a tiny little sachet.

The technology's there, my insurance won't pay for it, even if I were to pay out of my own pocket, they won't sell it to me, it's a prescription drug. Too....bad.

It's almost midnight, still have lots to do.

My husband and I ended up sick with some sort of stomach bug. Good thing we don't have to cook a lot for Thanksgiving. My daughter and her boyfriend went over to his family, which is fine. I just hope this thing is short so I can decorate tomorrow.

Mood is blah today, but to be expected.

To all of my American friends, have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.
Give yourself a hug, and give thanks for who you are

My day was gd. I don't celebrate holidays but my oldest daughter wanted to get out. We went to Cracker Barrell. You could order anything you wanted from the menu. Afterward we chatted before she had to be at work. We didn't slave away in the kitchen or deal with "any' family. I went home home any started watching a movie marathon.

glad all this thanksgiving stuff is out the way.

though i'm in the UK and don't celebrate it, it sure annoyed me reading about everyone's positive lives and how much they have to be thankful for

i hate my life, so yeah... made me realise how much i didn't have in my life- and upset me

feeling very low today. have not got much (anything) done.

can't even think of something positive to post about in the positive things thread

Today is a bad day. Mood level is low and anxiety is high. Not looking for it to get much better with my husbands shenanigans. I need to just go sleep and start over tomorrow. If only that were possible.

A bit hyper today with putting up the holiday decorations and stuff. Lots of music and whatnot. Not looking forward to going out with all the Black Friday shoppers, though.

Though for two weeks now I've been trying to convince myself otherwise, I believe I am becoming hypomanic. Why deny it? Because whie I enjoy the state, while I can look forward to a period of happiness, I don't look forward to the regrets and depression that inevitably follow.

The good sides are great. My depression seems behind me and replaced with some elation and hope But, my credit card has been run up the last several weeks and I am now experiencing a bad case of buyer's remorse. FInally, I have become irritated and have a significant case of high expectations, black and white thinking, and frustrations in those aaround me.

Hiding from all the mad holiday people and the shoppers. If I could stay in and not leave my place until after the New Years I would be a happy person.

despite my low feelings for a lot of the day, i actually was really productive in the evening.

i've been having a problem with my TV, so went online in to a live chat to see if anyone can help me

long story short, i ended up talking to this tech expert who said he can help me with my problem- and at first i sidetracked a lot, (a hell of a lot) even ending up telling him my mental illness history (just why?)

anyway at the end of it all, he couldn't help me and said he'd have to transfer my question to another team and i should come back to chat next week for an update

had a go at him for not being able to help me (just why?), and left

another night on the sofa. no rest at all

My days are spent in depression and anxiety. I don't know what is wrong unless my meds have just quit working. I always go watch my daughter run her dogs in agility trials that or close to home but couldn't even bring myself to do that today. I'm sure part of it is the weather but still it never stopped me before. I'm just so depressed.

Just listening to music and goofing off on the computer. I'm waiting for my husband to get up from a nap so we can do something outside of the house. I can't drive and his MS meds are messing him up. The Christmas tree is up and I smile when I see it.

Agitated and frustrated because I can't get my mind focused on one freaking thing. It's like I got mojo but can't get it directed into one direction.

been feeling down today. (for most of it actually)

i did get an early christmas present- which was a new game, i do like it- but hell it's difficult to show it. the reaction of the person who got me it was like.. well don't you like it?. i can take it back, and i'm like.. no, no!. i like it. it's just seriously hard to show it when you're not feeling well

grocery shopping arived this afternoon. so i have the joy of putting that away... i can't wait (sarcastic smile)

not even bothering with a roast tonight- think i'm just gonna get a pizza takeout, (i've not eaten pizza all week!)
