Been working on my paper for almost 12 hours straight now. Okay, most of the time I've been distracting myself with music and videos, but I have gotten some done. I'm sort of summarizing the studies for my paper. When I finish that, I'll actually start writing my paper! Ugh. Why is it so hard? I used to love reading and writing, get lost in books, think about a writing career... that was a long time ago.

For some reason I want to see how long I can go without sleeping. Bad idea, I know. Might make my mood better. Probably will make my mood worse. Who knows?

Slept a little later than ususal.
I have no motivation today.
Tomorrow I will be working outside and hardly feel like going out today.

But may get to a movie and check out some flooring.

I really am not up to much today.

It seems that every year without fail, my emotions take a dive around October or so. That's not to say that I don't feel depressed/empty during the rest of the year, but it just seems to get especially worse around this time. Winter is stressful enough when you include the holidays, but I have quite a few anniversaries coming up, or that have passed. I can't do this anymore. I need to figure out a way to take care of myself. Winter is here, whether I want it to be or not. I just need to figure out how to deal with it. Ignore my rambling..

Had a crappy night's sleep last night but out of bed and waiting for my 9 a.m. T appointment to begin.

Not sure at all what I'll do today. I spent most of the weekend with my husband, and it was nice. Today I feel lost. Hoping a job will come through but also very nervous about my ability to function in the work world right now.

Depressed and anxious again. I didn't think that I'd be back here, but this time the depression is being outweighed by anxiety about an as-yet un-diagnosed digestive problem. With colon cancer in my family history, I'm fearing the worst (anxiety), then thinking about whatever I can do if that is the case (depression)...

Lately been completely in the dumps, like I was back in September, had an S attempt this week, was turned away from the hospital a few days before. Today I get to see my T and hope I can just get through the day.

I feel awful

Stayed up two nights in a row (slept around 5 or so hours during the day) to get my paper done. Yeah. Didn't work. Another extension!

Slept on and off around 9 hours. I'm exhausted and out of it.

Today was the first time in eight years I left the house to go to work. I still have my job with my husband's company that I do from home, but I am now working part time at a pet store. It was hard this morning to leave, but it was great to go. It was three hours of watching videos, ADD HELL!!! I made it through and next shift will be better.

I am so sorry about your dog. It is a harder loss than many people realize and I understand what you are going through.

Hi, long time no post...

My medication stopped working like it had been. It's still doing something, but I'm feeling really bad. I've been having images of me getting hurt popping into my mind which hasn't happened since I started. I told my therapist last week. It's probably stress due too the assessment. I get the results tonight. I'm excited, scared, worried, etc.

tigerlilly mentioned their neighbours hose was broken in to. 6-7 years ago I was checking on my girlfriend's (now wife) apartment while she was visiting her parents for Christmas and I went into her place and it was trashed. Someone had forced the window open and had stolen a bunch of her stuff and her kids stuff. When I arrived the window was wide open in the middle of winter. Luckily her cats were still there. I felt horrible calling and telling her about this. The cops were useless.

I'm glad I got out of the house to deliver brochures for the volunteering I do, made it to an AA meeting and out to lunch with folks afterward. Still no word on the possible part-time job I'm hoping to get.

Doing good emotionally still over up. I've bren asked the past few days if I drank my lunch at work. The 18th can't get here soon enough. I've got to find out why I've gone to my opposite extreme. So depression wise I'm good. I'm starting to think my therapist might be right about the manic thing. It's gotten worse this week. hoping my brain will shut off longer than it has in over a month tonight.

I'm managing to keep my mental state in decent shape . . . despite that my s.o. isn't too concerned about being nice after I spend the day helping him out.
