Hi I am very depressed tonight,it is starting to lift a bit but I have felt bad.I have been trying different strategies to try and feel better,I watched TV,to distract myself,I listened to my Hazel o connor cd I ate mint magnum ice creme and pomegranates,and I cosied up to my cat and was stroking her.All of this helped a bit,and I am hoping I will feel better tomorrow when I wake up.

I have to go out tomorrow to the post office to get my money and go to the bank,I am having coffee at the coffee shop and getting some food bits from the M&S food hall.Then I will come home and put my orders through and pay some bills online.

But tonight has been hard cos of the deep low/depression and the night is not over yet.I am going to watch TV now.There is a program on called First Dates about couples dating and another one after that called Tattoo Fixers about people with awful tattoos that want them covered up.Both are distracting and take my mind off my depression.I can ring my mum as well.

I can feel so very bad with this depression but rarely suicidal thankfully.
I am riding this storm as best as I can.

It's nice to see that you manage to keep yourself busy from the depression.
I'm working on that, too.

I hope you're feeling better in the morning. Good for you, for finding ways to at least distract yourself from the depression.

Ice cream and pomegranates are very worthy diversions especially if you are "peeling mr.pomegranate " , brings back memories of sitting on the porch eating them with my mom .keep on riding , time is on your side,depression can't last forever .
