Feeling like such a failure tonight.
Not driving / having a car precludes many job opportunities etc. AND I just had to borrow money from my parents.

I feel like such a failure. What's the point of me?

I can't stop crying.

It was a horrible day. I am feeling very depressed. It's to the point where I am having trouble functioning at work. I'm quickly losing hope that this depressive episode will ever end.

I feel good today, minus the pain in my chest. Depression has somewhat subsided; I just wish I had plans/something to do!

((((Shadow-world))))

There is plenty a point to you. You are a good and kind person. You are going through rough stuff. I have to catch up on threads. I take it this is work related. That does not define you. Plenty of people have been very successful in their careers, while leaving a wake of destruction behind them in people whom they neglected and hurt. I'm glad your parents were able to help you, and I hope they did it cheerfully. Life will bring plenty of opportunity for you to help them. To me that's part of what Family is about - mutual insurance. No one member is left to suffer alone. Everyone has everyone else's back.

This may be a time for crying. It won't always be that. But I won't tell you to cheer up. You are in pain and nothing cheerful about that.

Still down...not crying, but feeling rather, uh...medicated. I'm not sure if this is better or not?

Since Saturday afternoon, I've been doing real good. Wow - almost 4 days in a row. That's like a recent record for me. I am really feeling the best I've felt since January.

At first when I heard about getting approved for the SSDI (that was in June,) I felt kind of uplifted. Then I went right down the tubes again with feeling like a failure yada, yada, yada. Now, I'm saying; "Okay, you know you don't face losing your apartment and ending up in a shelter. So start making this apartment fit for human habitation and see if that doesn't make life seem better." So I have been wacking away at the accumulated chaos, and I do feel better. And I am on a roll with cleaning and organizing. (This may be a bit of hypomania, but it sure is productive and sure feels good.)

((((Re)))) I can relate...I am starting to think all the frustration, hurt and anger bottled up (depression) can only stay inside for so long...breaking out now in the form of major nerves (anxiety).

In order to stop this exhausting cycle, perhaps we need to address the base feelings ... we cannot be as STUCK as we feel we are...what is a good action item to calm us down and get us hopeful again?

Just suffered a big setback, and I'm reeling at the moment. Up and down, up and down. Damn it, how can some people be so cruel? Glad that I'll be seeing my counselor tomorrow

I'm so sorry to hear that....I've also been dealing with that nasty combination lately, and it sure can be overwhelming (had a respite yesterday, but not so sure at the moment). Sending good thoughts.....

Wise thoughts Rose....thanks. And the subject of "hope", speaking right to my heart on that one today. I don't know about you, but for me it is so very elusive, seems to come and go on its own schedule, without any particular regard to my wishes. Guess we've still got some work to do on that one? Hugs.

I'm really having a tough day today. My meds are not right. I've been anxious all day, starting from the time I got up this morning. I took a nap hoping I would feel better this afternoon. It's evening now and we are going to get a good rain tonight it looks like.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Feeling a slight lift from the increased medication dose although I still had a meltdown on Tuesday. However, it probably takes another week or so to fully come into effect.
I might go up a bit more with it in a week's time. Let's see.
