Today I feel okay, but I'm hoping to talk to one of my close friends today. It always seems to cheer me up when I speak to this one person. I'm not relying on this person or anything, but this person seems to cheer me up whenever I hear from them.

This is why I'm glad I'm picky when it comes to friends. Cause this person hasn't let me down.

Tired.

Today's going pretty well. I'm in recovery mode, getting over being down in a trough that was deep. Great to be out of it. I must make the most of this momentum while it lasts.

I don't like being nickled and dimed to death. I don't like coin operated air pumps at gas stations, I don't like every store now charging for plastic bags, and I don't like doctor's offices that charge exorbitant fees just to get a copy of a single sheet of paper.

It was a gloomy day outside today and I felt the same way. I had tremendous depression and anxiety today. I don't know why. It seemed like it was a good day. It started off nicely as I went to my car and there was a shinny new dime at the driver's door. And then some little things that were burdensome at work worked themselves out nicely.

Things were a dud when I got home. I did the laundry. While going to the laundry room just before my wash were finished, a woman was waiting for the machines to finish. She was nice about it. And that's what happened with the drying, too. I felt rushed in doing the laundry.

Also, I wanted to watch Jeopardy tonight but was not able to because the station carried a stupid hockey game instead. As it turned out, that guy James who was winning big had lost. I wanted to see that. Oh well!

Well, it's only been three days but book sales are off to a terrible start for this month. As expected.

I feel fairly okay. I made a good dinner last eve for my bf and me. Doing breakfast now. I have to get out of the house a little later. That seems to always give me a boost.

My mother triggered me. I was trying to talk to her and she interrupted me to say the baby needed her phone. He was whining. I guess I'm not important enough. And I guess you don't care that he's 7 and doesn't respect you. I feel so depressed and devalued. I am angry and hurt. I just don't matter.

Hi, I’m new to this! Today I feel just okay. My friends want to hang out tonight but I’m not sure if I want to. I know I should want to but sometimes I just don’t feel like I have enough energy. This is been going on for quite awhile now. Does anyone else feel this way?

[Fuzzybear]

Hugs to all

I was feeling depression and anxiety again today. Another gloomy day outside, though I tend to like days like that. It's probably because it's very slow at work. I worked out after work for the first time in three or four months. It went very well, but I felt like I had put too little weights on. But it's very different in working out in my new place from the other place. I think that I'm going to like working out in my place now better than the old one. I felt better about myself after working out.

The depression is sometimes lately just there and I’m trying to go on despite it, can I just walk around it or maybe toss it out the window. No wait it bounced back up after being thrown out the window, it just staring at me now. No I’m staying busy, I’m going to work, walk the dog later, make a good dinner, talk to my friend, or my mom, or a friend on the phone. Good night.

I’ve been back at work for 3 days (last week was half term) and I am done in already.

[3rd rock]

Feeling very down because of poor book sales. I hope it will get better but I don't expect it will.

I had trouble sleeping early this morning from 2AM to 4AM. During that time I was awake, I was having some pitied thoughts about myself. When I got to sleep finally at 4 I had a very weird dream.

It was slow at work today. I was going to workout after work, but instead I went to an Urgent Care. I had little bumps on my skin that didn't look good. The doctor told me I had Pityriasis rosea.

im really struggling. 2019 hasn't been kind.

[Sunflower123]

Having a really bad time today.

[will19]

Very busy today with the usual stuff. Feel very depressed now because of my new skin condition that I was diagnosed with yesterday. I look very unsightly. I hope this thing goes away soon. I have been reading on forums about it. It sounds complicated with treating it.

[Rose76]

Feeling low today. Got a couple of things done. Very demoralized.

[Rose76]

If only I could sustain being in a normal mood for 3 consecutive days . . .

Depressive episodes blow over. I tell myself that when I'm in one. But now I'm bouncing back and forth between being depressed and feeling fine. The feeling normal doesn't last any length of time. It's great for while it lasts - maybe a day and a half. But it collapses too soon. I get over being depressed, but then depression slams me again. It's no way to live. Not planning any self-injury, but this is crippling. It's like trying to move around on ice skates when you don't know how to skate. I'm afraid of really falling apart.
