I’m not sure I’m just dealing with depression today. I think I am having complications from my surgery although they may turn out to be just minor. The depression is for sure there but I think what I am feeling is largely physical. Last Monday they said it was likely there would be an issue that would need to be resolved this coming Monday. I think I feel sick because of it.

When fall and winter arrive I get a bit nervous about my depression returning. I’ve been doing really well the last two years. I have not been on any depression medication or any antipsychotic since the fall of 2018. I created my own coping tool box which I also have to stay up on my autoimmune diseases and rare diseases. I have Hashimoto/Thyroidism/Graves Disease which definitely does impact your mood and emotions. I had a great conversation with my teenager today. My teenager also has Hashimoto and other autoimmune diseases and rare diseases as well. We both acknowledged that changing our foods, eating certain foods in moderation and regularly being active has made a big difference in our moods. Our mood is not such a roller coaster. The last few days I can feel how my body is starting to become symptomatic. Weather changes are a big challenge for me. My fibromyalgia pain and fatigue is not shy. Yesterday and today the nausea has been terrible. I drink a lot of caffeine free loose herbal teas. I’ve been very diligent about taking my vitamins and supplements. We recently moved and today a contractor installed grab bars in my restroom. I walk our dog frequently. Being out in nature helps keep my depression away. My legs have been in a lot of pain so I don’t walk too long. I really miss going hiking and look forward to resuming. I sometimes get overwhelmed juggling multiple chronic illnesses and having to stay on healthcare specialists to provide continuity of care.

Today has been the usual routine Saturday. At one store that I like to shop at, I waited about 15-30 minutes in line to get in the store. I had time to kill for waiting.
Last night my friend and I argued about current event things. It didn't make me feel too good that we are at opposite ends, but that didn't surprise me. And I didn't lose sleep over it. Once again, nothing much planned for the rest of the weekend. The cleaning, going to the bank, and shopping are long over with now. NOTE: A special thanks from me to those on here who have encouraged me to keep on going on PC. Last week I was very down. |

I locked myself out of my truck in the parking lot at the store today. I tried to unlock it myself with some wire, but couldn't. I had to call a tow truck. It cost $65 CAD, which seemed like a reasonable price. In the future I will try and find a long lanyard, or use two lanyards, so I don't have to take my keys off the one hanging around my neck when I drive.

Felt very down upon waking. Went to work (my job here needs me to work some weekends). Didn't speak to many people at work, although I would have liked to have, since it might have lifted my mood a bit. Finished my tasks and then left for the day.
While I was at work, I messaged a friend in Germany who is a qualified doctor (cardiology unfortunately, rather than mental health!) and I told her about how I was feeling low. She was supportive as usual and asked about my recent change in medicine and suggested I go and see a specialist here again. I was in absolutely no mood for a workout in the evening, so I opted to go to a local Haagen Dazs cafe for coffee and cheesecake instead. Did some crosswords while there, which would have been pretty relaxing were it not for the continual stupid OCD thoughts that keep troubling me. The thing is, I know they're totally irrational but I still can't shift them. While I was in the cafe I messaged one of my work friends, who I'm due to take a work trip with this coming week, and ended up telling him about my depression. I've never spoken to him about it until this point. He was pretty supportive and we arranged to go for dinner together during the trip. I've resolved to be more open about my depression from now on, and to tell the people I'm closer to, should a suitable time present itself. I usually keep it hidden and try to put on a front, but I'd rather the small number of people closer to me know, as I do need the support. The exception here is my parents and sister, who I won't tell, because I know it would cause them a great deal of worry. And they're in the UK so it's easy to hide it from them. It's been 7 weeks now since I finally managed to quit Paroxetine (3rd time I'd tried). I'd been taking it for 5 and a half years and, apart from a few low periods, it had worked well and kept me feeling pretty good. Now I've stopped, and the depression and OCD have come roaring back with a vengeance - so much so that I'm seriously considering going back on it. The thing is, I'll feel like I've failed if I do, since coming off it was a real struggle. Overall, it was kind of a tough day, with OCD and depression both affecting me badly. |

I’m worried about my depression and ending up IP due to medication. Not anything immediately though. I’m just worried. Probably for nothing. Can they put you completely in seclusion from other patients if you have medical issues?

I'm a bit worried this morning. My cat spent the night with the vet. She may have a procedure done in the morning. I'll be happy to get her back.

Suddenly just a few days left to move, with massive work still left to do. Plus job woes. Doesn't help the #$!+ depression.

Down again today - I continuously fail at nurturing my husband.
Also just took the PC Depression Test and scored for severe depression. Now I feel worse. |

Despite the fact I’ve been in a dark room all day with the curtains shut and rain pouring outside, I feel pretty good today. My self esteem is good. I am just very tired from lack of sleep.

I just learned I dodged a bullet from three years ago. This gives me a little hope. I'm thinking that maybe my current rejected application is a blessing in disguise. But it barely makes me happy. What's the blessing of pandemic?
Yesterday, I read about what they have made in the past six years. I feel so pathetic. I have nothing good to compared with of except graduating. I couldn't even finish my projects from 6 years ago. I'm just a big mouth loser. |
