Feeling Low

Hi all.
Just wanted to check in. I'm having one of those days where you try sooo hard to keep positive. I'm fighting a cold, feel all foggy and my throat is killing me. Partner is away on business and the friend I called is too busy to talk. I'm feeling loney. Feeling so unmotivated and sad. Also worried about money. So many dentists and doctors to see, so little way to pay for it. I keep asking my dad. He says he really wants to help but then seems to imply that everything is too expensive. I know he wouldn't balk if it were for chemotherapy but because it's a psychopharmacologist and he doesn't understand this stuff he just can't relate. It makes me feel unimportant. No one would ever choose to live this way if they didn't have to. I wish I could communicate that to him somehow. Feels good just to put it down. Sending good thoughts out to everyone here...

Hi, Elana05! Depression, loneliness, troubles, AND
I doubt anyone would blame you for trying to channel some of the energy you are currently investing in trying to be positive rather into efforts to take care of and pamper yourself. May you get some good rest this weekend!

I honestly dont know what part of depression people out there cant see. Yes its psycological, it cant be seen in an image or in blood tests, or palpated, or on a monitor, but what part of being confined to a bed, a house, unkempt, unmotivated, in tears, out of touch,....cant people see? Im as sad for you as I am for myself and everyone else here. I hope you feel better soon sweetie

Hello, Elana05. Tell your Dad you feel unimportant when he balks.

Hope you feel better soon.
