Since I have been here playing arcade and posting my mood changes I thought it only appropriate to explain being here again.
I have been good for a long while but recently I am facing some challenges that are the last thing I expected. I have lost partial vision in one eye suddenly - and the same is beginning in the other one. It seems to be a confusing case of autoimmune activity without any confirmation from tests that I have an autoimmune disease. There is more but this is my worst fear. I have been vigilant to find resources and investigate my options as I am self supporting and live alone. I drive carefully but have had a few concerns here and there. My usual way of coping is to withdraw but I am being encouraged to outreach instead for support. I have to admit that I do feel better talking about it rather than sitting in my head. Aside from my eye sight getting worse - I fear my depressive thoughts will sink me into self pity (as my MD just reminded me of what happened last year when he tried to help me with something else). I would rather cope and live my life to the best that I can. Thanks for reading and support in advance. |

Since I have been blogging I feel like I am not that stupid. However I do want employment to do something more worth while to get a car. I do not own a car and we need a little more money. I love my son and I want to be a good mother to him.
Please, read my poems that I write and look at my pictures. I love God and I want to give something back to the world. I am very sorry for all the problems I have heard in the news. God bless America and God bless me and my family. |

^????????
anyway - i think you're right, it is important to get support. I have found that the best thing for me to do in a depression is the opposite of what I want to do (lay in bed forever). i'm not very sociable which is why i come here. I do hope you figure out what's going on with your vision, and that it is not permanent! keep talking to us, we can at least offer a virtual hug and support :-) __________________ Of course it is happening inside your head.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
