I hate when the sun is shining you feel obliged to be outside doing something. Today my daughter begged me to come to a local play centre and because I've felt bad about not being able to take her out much recently I agreed.

She's in there playing her heart out running and screaming and I am on the verge of tears. It's so busy, there are so many screaming children, lots of people staring because it seems I'm the only person here who has come on their own. Everyone just seems so happy and laughing with their families and I resent it all.

Evaluna I feel the same way much of the time now. Classic symptom of depression. Extra frustrating because you know it's all right in front of you to step in and enjoy with the others, but it is like there is a force field that no one else can see preventing you from doing so. It prevents interaction and the passage not just of people but of laughter and joy. And yes you are stuck inside with resentment.

Hoping you can feel better, in the meantime I understand.

Hugs and hoping you can share a hug with your daughter afterward. In my current state I find I'm OK (surviving, not "good") when I'm with one person and I am crushed, fighitng tears, and can't breath, when I am with even 3 or 4 coworkers.

I lasted an hour and half then we had to leave which I felt was a fair amount of time. When we stopped at the shops she said to me you look sad today mummy is it because of me? I hugged her tighter than I ever have and explained that absolutely no way was it anything to do with her. I tried to explain that sometimes I have days where I feel a bit down but kisses and cuddles always make me feel better and she seemed OK. I felt bad that she was actually noticing my mood.

Luckily when we got home a neighbour wanted her to go and play so I got a few hours to myself. I just did normal housework and watched some TV. I suppose I've just managed to get through the day and I'm hoping tomorrow I can do the same.
