It's been a horrible day. I don't think the main shock has sunk in yet.

I feel a bit stupid. Well a complete idiot actually! My exam today I thought was at 1pm....turns out it was 10am. And I realised this at 9:50...takes 20-25mins to get there. So no exam for me. I'm going to mope now and feel sorry for myself

Get in touch with student services. You most certainly have mitigating circumstances for this to not be held against you, which can easily be proved in writing by your gp and/or the hospital. The uni will no doubt arrange a new time to do the exam.

Luckily I'm doing it through work and just do day release for studying and exams and you get to pick and choose when do to each exam so it's just a case of rebooking it. It's not the end of the world, just makes me feel like a bit of a fool.

You're not a fool... can only imagine what a whirlwind this past week has been for you, it's forgivable for things like a missed exam to slip. Take this time for you

Fatigue brought on by persisting low-grade depression...somehow I have to get the energy together to find something to enjoy today...it's all just so terribly sad to me and by all I mean life...

I feel desperate because he has made it known that he does not want to stay and remain the interim pastor the full term he promised. That means he could leave before the end of December. He says he is called to be a leader in the secular world, and probably out west. I can't lose him. I haven't told him how I feel, but if he is leaving, I feel like I need to say something.

Awakened too early before 5am today, unable to return to sleep.
Physical wellness is off, tired of feeling crummy all the time, concerned.

Kind of feeling sorry for myself that this depression persists. But isn't that okay? I would feel sorry for anyone else in my position. Not that the self-pity gets me anywhere, but I think it's a normal reaction to my situation. I also seem to be filled with so much more anger lately - - angry that day after day I have to endure this depression. No end in near sight either. Just isn't fair.

StarStrike · May 13, 2014 at 12:11 PM

Well today's been a bad day. When will I get a good day?

PoorPrincess · May 13, 2014 at 12:27 PM

new gal, perhaps, just maybe if we go with our anger at this and start talking to ourselves saying "Enough is enough! Enough already! Let's put a wrap on this and get done!"
Not that it would happen instantly, but might at least rouse some energy.
I've been so beat and depleted I stopped my own pep talks. Not good.

Nammu · May 13, 2014 at 12:35 PM

I exist, and for once I mostly like the weather. It's cold and raining, perfect except for the high humidity. Days like this make me feel more alive, lots better than humid hot days that leach me of energy. The racing thoughts are better but not the depression. Last night I thought about going out in the lighting but too many people survive lighting strikes. If I try I must succeed, no hospitals ever again.

My energy is not really too bad. It's my motivation and enthusiasm that are really lacking. For some reason, unlike many others with depression, I don't seem to feel tired, so at least I'm glad for that.

HelpForToday · May 13, 2014 at 03:00 PM

New here.

Feeling as depressed as I've ever been - can't get out of bed, and sleeping most of the day and night. I work, but very pt, and manage to just barely do that. Went through a breakup and am devastated, and see no hope or way out.

May 13, 2014 at 04:10 PM

Feel very miserable.

PoorPrincess · May 13, 2014 at 04:54 PM

This feeling tremorous, shaky and quaky inside and out has got to cease.
I cannot live like this. If this is the just coming onto Cymbalta crumminess,
this is just really unacceptable. I want it to work for me again, it worked for me last year.

TheOriginalMe · May 13, 2014 at 05:14 PM

I hate being stuck. I hate having to go back to the doc telling him yet another med isn't doing it for me. I hate this "so what" rut that I can't escape. Meh

Rose76 · May 13, 2014 at 05:35 PM

doing pretty well today. Busy.

Bigmike727 · May 13, 2014 at 05:41 PM

Still haven't found that wallet yet, I feel like a klutz for loosing it.

JustTvTroping · May 13, 2014 at 05:47 PM

...Meh...the mood change did not disappoint.
I'm going back to where I don't really feel...human. It doesn't happen as much as it used to (thankfully), but it's still there. It seems that even when I was a toddler, there was something off, there was always something that made me feel different. Maybe it's just how I think and view things, especially now...
