Today was another very slow day at work, but I guess that had to be expected. It seems like no one was there. But I didn't mind. I left work a little bit early today and got a bike ride in before it got dark. Though it took a little bit longer to get home than I thought it would.
Tomorrow should be a pretty dead, but loose day. It's a day before Thanksgiving. Traditionally over the years at where I work, in the afternoon before a holiday, I would go to YouTube and watch a classic comedy show that I used to like. That cheers me up. |

Though I'm still depressed, I did get a job offer today, and that is helping to lift me out of this messy mood. In fact, if all goes well with this work, then I'll be writing a success story...

The snow looks beautiful. Why is that so devastating?

Feeling really tired. Woke up after getting an appropriate amount of sleep but couldn't get out of bed for over two hours. Just dreading another day of being at home alone, trying to make sense of why I feel so drained all the time. Can't ever feel rested enough.
Trying to think of all that I'm thankful for so that my attitude changes, hoping that my feelings will change along with it. I miss being happy and joyful. I miss feeling goal-oriented and purposeful in life. Who am I now? What is my truth? And what it is I'm supposed to do in this life? Keep telling myself to stop thinking so much and to just be still so that the answers will come. |

Waking up with a heavy depressed feeling every day for some time. I see the doc today hoping to try another med. I am hoping I can find one that doesn't wreck my chances of ever having a relationship. Its been 5 years of trying different anti depressants all of which left me with 100% sexual dysfunction. I don't see much point in continuing with my life if that is the choice I have - depression or sexual dysfunction. And in case anyone ia wondering yes I have tried alternatives. Its been a while since someone has suggested I try something and I haven't already tried it or it isn't a ridiculous suggestion. This has to be some kind of cruel joke right?

The days are so short and the nights are so long.
Plus almost every day is cloudy. . . I just feel like we never get any light now. (Light? What's light?) |

Some days are worse. Some days are better. And the depression is always there.

Irritable, that usually means I'm getting a) hormonal, b) tired, c) anxious d) all of these. You've guessed it the answer is d) all of these.
I'm functioning but low and seeing my pdoc tomorrow, hopefully she'll have some idea of what meds to try next. |

It was not busy at work today, but that was to be expected. Got home early and took a bike ride. My only friend is out of town, but not very far. He is with his son and granddaughter. It would have been nice to talk to him by phone. He will be back tomorrow.
I plan on having the Thanksgiving dinner by myself tomorrow. I got a Cornish game hen and it's enough for just me. It's my favorite. Plus I make the stuffing myself (not Stove Top!). My friend will have his daughter, her husband, a granddaughter, and a few of his friends for dinner on Friday. He invited me. I'm thinking it over about going. It's not at a convenient time for me. Plus I get overwhelmed with family situations that are not my own. |

Depression gives way to numbness now for a few hours at least I think. I found out yesterday that I have CML a type of leukemia. Since I found out something is wrong I've been going between depression, scared, and numbness. I want the numbness to stay so that I can make it through this thanksgiving. Two families where I have to be careful of who I come in contact with because of the risk off infection. This ids going to be tough.

Just doing my own check in. Today is thanksgiving - but I have the day to myself. Oddly, I'm happy about that. I'm looking forward to some me time, and have even picked out a book to read and enjoy while I listen to a few of my favorite CDs. After the last year, I need a day that is just for me - and no, I'm not going out shopping!

MRI results are not OK, my condition has worsened. I am not happy with the treatment received so far. Tomorrow, doctors will see me and tell me what their plan is. I do not know what I am going to do yet, but regardless I will have to make a formal complaint. The silver lining is that here I am receiving good treatment for my depression. That is giving me the strength to face an uncertain future regarding my physical condition

I was too tired two nights ago that I didn't even reach for my meds. I decided yesterday I'd skip to start again today. I wonder if it's made my depression worse. In any case I've taken it now. I'm telling myself to hold it out, I might feel better tomorrow. But if I feel anything like I've been feeling today... depression is physically painful for me. I know something that helps. But it's not worth it. Gotta tough it out.
Apparently this is my 1000th post. Lots has changed since my first post, and then again not so much. |

Last night I slept almost 12 hours. But instead of being full of energy, I have a headache that is threatening to turn into a migraine. Not really wanting to go to dinner with the family. They're a loud bunch.
