For the last few days I felt like I had turned a corner, and was trying to pick myself up. I made an effort to leave the house, socialise with friends and do things with my daughter trying to keep the very small positive feeling I thought I had.

Today I feel like I'm back to square one. It's 11.30am and I'm still in bed. My daughter is playing games and watching TV between her and my room and she seems happy enough but I know I should be up, dressed and finding something to do. I just can't face the day. I've even sat here thinking if I can get someone to take my little girl for a few hours but what good is that going to do? Seem to swing from.high to low and can't find a middle ground.

It's such a pain in the butt. I find that sometimes when I do the things you were talking about it will snap me out of it and sometimes I might feel better for a little bit and then right back in it.

Forcing myself to go through the motions can be torture. If I am not in a super severe depression and it is like bad moderate then forcing myself to go out and do things with my daughter or friends will snap me right out of it but only like 50% of the time. It does always pass for me though.

We went to the shops and got some bits we needed. We're meant to be having a couple of days away with a friend at their caravan and whilst I can literally think of nothing else I would like to do least I know I have to.

I had a chat with a friend today and while she gets a little bit of how I feel I didn't really feel like getting too far into it. She's a great friend but her life is always talking about finding a man etc and I have no desire to talk about this whatsoever. My daughter has gone to play with the neighbours so I've got a bit of time to myself. I'm just reading and enjoying the silence!

I like to think of the silent sounds that travel as God. The quieter it becomes, the more you are able to hear
