I had the day off today. Did a little shopping in the morning and got some things that I had long needed. Very happy with what I got. Took a 2 hour bike ride today. Feeling depressed that the three day weekend is over with. Last week there seemed to be some tension at work. I feel like I'm not looking forward to going back. But there's nothing stressful, as far as I can see, coming up this week. The maintenance man will be off starting Wednesday until Monday following Thanksgiving. It should be the last time he will be taking time off, as far as I know, until he retires next spring.

I am doing a little better tonight, than I have been. Things went ok at my Primary Dr. apt. today, so that helped.

Every day I run out of time.

Had dental work so tired now and able to eat soft food. Mouth feeling painful a little bit, but not too bad.

I don't understand how so many could be so cruel but they are...
It's a sad world and a sad reality to discover who the evil mongers are.
I wake up sad every day because of them.

I keep drifting in a sea of apathy, unhealthy eating and smoking. Oh god, I just wish I could find something I could like and turn into an interesting job.

For me apathy has been the most destructive part of depression as it can lead to so many other things. Unhealthy eating is easy to address so start there. Smoking less so ( and i've never smoked) but people give up all the time. Start getting into positive habits and gradually tick off all those self sabotaging things you do that stop you leading the life you want. Feeling good about yourself is the first step to getting out of depression imo.

Thank you! I really need a schedule. I believe I'll start tackling both overeating and smoking. I'll try eating less and better and cutting back on cigarettes.

my day has been quite boring, with the only exciting part (or semi excting part), watching muppet's christmas carol

I love that movie

still... just feel blah

not really sure why- just my life sucks I guess

[Rose76]

I'm tired and sleepy. It was a long day.

Now if I can just fall asleep . . . and stay asleep . . . for a reasonable length of time.

A pretty good day at work today. It's a four-day work week. Next week will be a three day work week. Just love it!

This morning at work, I moved the chairs around in the auditorium to neaten it up. A couple of hours after that, I felt lower back pain just like last week. When I got home, it felt a little bit worse. I was going to work out but decided not to. I felt bummed out about it. At least I went to the pool area and it helped me to feel better. I'll try to work out tomorrow. I'd rather had done it today and Friday instead of Wednesday and Friday.

Too much going on at once. I had dental work too yesterday and my face is all puffy and my jaw sore. I felt I had to have a few cigs this morning although I was cautioned about dry socket. Financing issues. Life can be such a struggle but I have hope for that light and to change myself as much as possible for the better.

I seem to have turned a corner. I’m working out and socializing again and I’m interested in things so those are good indicators.

We have a thanksgiving meal at church tonight and that’s got me thinking about the holiday. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been researching vegetarian dishes to surprise my daughter with. It will be nice to have her home.

Warm wishes to all.

Had a busy day. Wasn't able to relax much. I did get a nap in so that was good. Will try to relax tomorrow.

It took my full dose of meds to give me a decent sleep last night. In pain but otherwise depression is at bay for now.

[Sunflower123]

I drove home in rush hour traffic because PT ran late. It made me nostalgic for my days as a CPA/MBA in corporate America. I even miss the 60-80 hour work weeks during tax season. I plan to go back part time sooner rather then later (hopefully).

I’ve been without my Xanax ER for about six days and I took 2 a few hours ago to get it back in my system. Pleasantly zen and relaxed right now.

Warm wishes to all and hugs to those that need them.

[Deilla]

Had a good day. Saw my med provider and picked up meds. Relaxed with some online games and a few of my hobbies. Took a couple of naps. Might stay up late and play more games. I have no where to go tomorrow.

[Rose76]

My stew came out good. I still have piles of paperwork to sort out and address. I need to learn some skills for keeping organized.

I'm continually behind in bureaucratic things I need to do . . . paperwork stuff. It is my biggest problem. This creates too much stress. I need a better system.

[fallaximago]

I gotta go to the bank once again today and I can't even bear the thought of having to take a shower. I must, though, so I'll do it.

once again circumstances have got in the way of things... today I was actually meant to go to town to see the switching on of the christmas lights

but it's not happening, and honestly, not sure much is.

apart from having a gross shower this morning, I'm just sat here listening to music- and that's how it will probably remain for the day
