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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

...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...

Ever know someone, too well? Sense, that underlying 'optimism', of my exh. From overheard conversations of son.

Just bought a ream of paper, giving me the tenner i need for sons field trip....you go son!!! No taxation without representation...

And an eagle has been spotted...

Determined, this is me, constructively using my underlying anger emotion

I'm feeling hopeless about a situation and it's incredibly depressing. I'm thinking about calling my therapist, but maybe it's better to wait until all hope is gone. What could she do anyway? Nothing can be done because nothing can help.

Was so exhausted last night, went to be at 8, could barely keep my eyes open. Been so full of anxiety for the last month or so, jumping at my shadow almost… and getting to the point of being worn out… would really welcome apathy and I think it’s coming on.

The dog made me smile this morning. Wife leaves for work before me and sent me a text to say she’d made a pack lunch and put it my pannier (I cycle everywhere)… got downstairs and had a look… was nothing there. After a bit of investigation, I found a couple of moist chewed sandwich bags, all the while the dog was following me and wagging her tail. Didn’t have the heart to tell her off… put her in the kitchen where she stays during the day and carried on getting ready. Remembered I left my phone charger in the kitchen, opened the door to more bedlum, she’d found a number of food tubs that were well back on the kitchen counter and had positioned them untouched around her mat to have a good chew at her leasure… just gave me that look of ‘and?’.. just laughted, put them out of reach and left for work.

Pets, what would we do with out them :hashface:
