:(

I'm sorry you are feeling bad. I hope the happy faces will make you smile.

Hon it is obvious when something is wrong. You are usually so good at explaining your feelings. When you do not and just give emoties, you must be in pain. Hope you begin to feel better.

Not sure what to say....but I can do a head stand & make you laugh

thanks all ... can't concentrate long enough to write, hence the sad-face post. Can't do anything. All I can manage is staring blankly at the wall. It's scaring me.

I've been there. It gets really scary when the wall starts staring back...

maybe don't worry about if what you say makes sense in any kind of coherient way...just type what ever pops in your head...

start with only one word if you need to...or even one letter...wait a few minutes, then try 2 letters & so on...

Ohh don't forget to shower & brush your teeth & stuff....I know when a person is really depressed that goes down the tubes too

Sending a big hug your way

It's lifted a bit. My concentration seems to have returned. Although at 2am I'm not really sure what good it's going to do me... I'm not sure what's been happening, it's been a really strange few days. My sleep is messed up -- although I got some over-the-counter sleeping pills that seem to work pretty well -- my appetite's been almost non-existent, I've gotten nothing done, and I've just been REALLY out of it. Here's hoping that tomorrow looks a little better.

How are you doing today?

Thanks for the hugs, all. I've REALLY needed them these past few days.

I'm not really sure how I'm doing now, to be honest. I feel a lot of nothing, which is probably an improvement from how I was feeling before. I woke up bright and early this morning, and I remember being glad because I could feel that my mood had lifted considerably, but I was so exhausted that I fell right back asleep and slept the day away. I think the bad days sap out all my energy, even though I was more or less catatonic during them. I still can't get up the motivation to do much of anything -- I spend a lot of time just staring at the wall -- but I've been forcing myself to eat at least two full meals a day, and I've been getting dressed when I wake up, even though I'm usually so exhausted I just go back to bed. Still, even though I'm still incredibly low energy, the worst of my depressive horrors have passed, and I'm grateful for that. Despite the bouts of depression I get, I know that without my meds and the counselling I get that they could be much worse and last much longer.

Thanks again for everyone's support, you're all amazing.

I'm glad your starting to feel better. I find it can be really draining when I am not able to do anything because I feel depressed. Take care of yourself.
