I don't know if that was what brough me down, but I was as far as I could go in nursing in the emergency room. I had tried to go back to school to get higher in my nursing, but I was required to take a advanced math class that I couldn't get through. It has all changed from when I was young. I tried twice before I gave up, and realized it wasn't going to be.

I just took a 5 mg valium....I am realizing how I got myself into so much stress...
I am feeling more kindly toward myself....I failed miserably according to what I expected....I was going to be the top psychiatrist in town...I broke down to be a suicidal guy in bed....but here I am at 87 yo and still talking about life...

I must say that the world out there doesn't look very nice...not only are people killing each other but who knows what nature has in store...but we can do some things to be happier...I am still trying...

I felt more awful than my “usual” today...

I’m definitely not a “leader” - never wanted to be

(((((((( little turtle ))))))))

I’m going to try to “feel better” now, coffee and berries

(None of that “magic medication” to make me “feel better”)

I'm an empath so I can relate. I can walk through a crowd and feel each and every emotion that the people there are feeling. It is overwhelming. That's why I rarely go to parties or where there are large crowds, unless I can shield myself. I can understand and empathize with our sensitivity, little turtle.

Hi little turtle,

This depression and anxiety is worse ... I wasn’t expecting this latest occurance

There are too many mean people who pretend to care... too many scary things ..

And I’m just a fuzzy bear

I wish I didn’t have to consult any medics irl, it isn’t only me who they don’t help in this forest

They treat us as if we have no value.. and then when scary medical stuff happens.. we “just have to deal with it” - of course

Even though we don’t even want to be on this planet at all

My depression's got worse and I m feeling very tired all day.

My depression is mainly biological, the social context is not going to change as long as I don't move out to somewhere else very far away and I don't have the money....so meds are the only solution for me. But all meds don't work and some of them have scary side-effects, like akathisia or agitation. I guess I would need more of prozac, I am on 20 mg, but last time 40mg got me agitated. So I don't know what to do.

I feel frustrated and hopeless. Am I going to live this life of an invalid forever? Won't I ever be able to go out again, go out to places I used to enjoy(like coffee shops, libraries, shopping malls, movies), go back to school or take up a job and be happy? Why does life have to be like this? I can't go on.....
