Happy Birthday, @will19!!

I went back to work today. It was very busy in the morning. Kind of a nice environment now as it seems like I don't get pestered as much. There were more people at work today than I thought that there would be.

Belated happy birthday will19!

Lately I been having some really bad days and it taking a toll on my self esteem because I feel like I can't do anything right. I feel like I am getting depressed again.

Hugs to all

Today was my usual Saturday. My friend and I didn't have lunch today as I had hoped. It was because he had to help his wife out with a project and still not feeling well. He was doing a lot of coughing, so it was just as well we didn't get together. But still it would have been nice.

Feeling very blue right now. I guess it's because of the holidays being over and back to reality. It's weird for me to feel that way even though the holidays in itself didn't have much meaning for me. Also I am dreading doctor appointments coming up later on.

I'm really really down today. I feel alone and depressed and I just want to sleep.

I’m glad the holidays are over, yet kind of sad they’re over. There is always the next holiday to look forward to such as Valentines with eating my favorite food, chocolate, then St Patrick’s Day with another favorite, corned beef and cabbage.

This SSRI withdrawal is giving me the kind of headache that feels like my entire head is encased in a big block of ice.

I'm watching the sun rise right now and feel hope that I can make some positive changes.

It's been so long since the last time I got into deep depression.

[3rd rock]

I slept for less than two hours. I'm extremely nauseous and I have a headache, as well as resurgent sadness. I need to get back on my sertraline immediately, and nuts to my doctor's tapering schedule. At this rate I'm going to be hallucinating in a day or two.

I went out yesterday and bought some stuff for myself begin feeling really depressed.

Not much of a day for me. Just went on a three hour bike ride and that's it.

It was my birthday recently and I was all alone. I binge ate the top of a dominos pan pizza (the crust is so thick). Then the next day I finished it. Lately I’ve been feeling so fat (I think it was after I went home) but I can’t stop emotionally eating I’m about five pounds overweight and have no clue as to how I’ll lose the weight.

I have no friends and don’t have enough motivation for self care.

I want to start trying to go for a walk by the beach every weekend. I signed up for pole classes. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out twice in a weekend. It’s so draining.

I haven’t had a haircut for over a year... I finally made an appointment. I want to look like I care about myself and i want to look like I have potential.

I realized even if I fulfill my career track I’m not as thrilled by it as I could be. Now that I’ve been training for promotion at work, I realize the step up is dumb. Maybe I’ll step up and then leave. Without a thrilling job, life is just boring. I see no point in it. I was upset by this thought. I really am not functioning. It’s always been like this. Maybe I’m “high” functioning. But I can’t keep up with it.

[jrae]

been really struggling with the basics lately. I'm not getting things done and I don't care anymore. it's like nothing really matters

[Breaking Dawn]

Dear @jrae, I have felt the way you are feeling now, so I probably understand. I hope with all my heart that things will begin to lighten up for you very soon. A lot of things matter. You matter. Hugs & love to you!!

I have got 2 years to become successful. I will succeed by the end of this year. I will publish at least 2 more novels, at least 1 of which will be groundbreaking. This will enable me to return to academia and earn my Master's, then more. I will continue to pray extensively on this subject.

[3rd rock]

Obviously I'm not going to become successful, not within the next year or two, certainly not ever. My novels will continue to be ****. I will never return to academia, never get accepted into a master's degree program because it's been too many years since I graduated with my undergrad degree and my novels are **** and will continue to be ****.

[giddykitty]

Feeling "up" and optimistic today! Been awhile for that. Happy though!

Very depressed.

It's a Monday following New Years Day. It tends to be the worst day of the year to be at work. Everyone seemed to be pretty glum today at work. It was very slow for me today. Did laundry after work.

I’m at my wits end as to how to handle a coworker that I frankly can’t stand.

I don’t know how to handle it and I’m worried I’m doing it wrong. I’m scared of the consequences of not handling it right.

not feeling good.

which seems to be the general outlook on 2020 so far

[3rd rock]

At present rates of income growth in my writing, e.g. over the past few years, I will earn about $21,000 this year, $172,000 next year, and $1.4 million the year after that. I won't, but it's a nice thought. This will have made exactly 10 years since I graduated from undergrad, which I will refer to as my own personal 'lost decade.' Again, it won't happen, but it's a nice thought.
