I been fighting depression again throughout the day.

will19 · Oct 10, 2020 at 04:13 PM

Kind of a day with some disappointments and not feeling good emotionally. Yesterday my friend's wife tripped on something in the driveway and cut herself up pretty good. She had to be taken to the hospital. She's home now, but it's very hard to talk to my friend now. This all happened suddenly.

Another thing that was a disappointment is that I have decided to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the store I shop at because there was a very long line outside to get into that store today. I got home and realized that there's not much food I have on hand. It will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend wife and that you were disappointed when you tried to go to the store.

Today I went to the grocery store at 8AM. I preferred the 8AM on Saturday, which they don't have anymore. There was a line to get into the store. The wait was around 10 minutes.

Took a three hour bike ride. Also talked to my sister; but it only lasted 5 minutes. We didn't have much to say to each other. It was very disappointing.

Feeling very depressed for the whole day. Just nothing much going for me. I'm also considering leaving this site for good. I feel like it's not making me feel too well and not as good as it used to be.

I was feeling positive. But now, not so much. Maybe I just need to go to bed.

defenetly a bad day and a bad start to the week.

no sleep, agony in my back, through some clothes on (abandoning most self-care activities), sat here and cried- and the only thing I can look forward to is stuffing my face later with sausage rolls and pizza

it's ****ing tragic, but that's my day. that's what's going on

Washed a white shirt 2 weeks ago. Have not ironed it. I think I won't either.

There is not an ironing fairy in this house (or only sometimes

I'm having a bit of a hard time at the moment. I so look forward to the moment when I notice that I'm out of these woods. I visualize a peaceful glade.

I'm feeling very sad. I'm nearing completion of my current project. I wish I could write about stories that don't involve mental illness in one way or another. But all my stories involve at least one character with some kind of mental illness, even if it's not the focus of the story. It's frustrating to have a very limited range.

Someone lied to me today. It was over something minor and inconsequential so I'd rather just forget about it and move on, but my mind keeps going back to it.

Deilla · Oct 13, 2020 at 01:36 PM

I feel good at the moment.

Sorry to hear about that. That seems to be so familiar to me; it happens to me a lot more than I want it to. Whenever someone lies or says something that's not nice I want to forget about it. But it's very hard for me to get it out of my mind.

I’m pretty down in the dumps today.

88Butterfly88 · Oct 14, 2020 at 03:07 PM

I'm feeling somewhat depressed and agitated today.

3rd rock · Oct 14, 2020 at 05:23 PM

Waiting for a phone call that's already 9 minutes late. I'm absolutely terrified. I hate receiving phone calls, I need to make them, but I hate them and if I don't do them I feel like a failure. I guess this is more of an anxiety post than depression but whatever.

Turtle_Rider · Oct 15, 2020 at 06:40 AM

I am sunk down so low again. And that's because of the old same reason.
I should've worked harder today. Tomorrow is a deadline of a project. But I have no motivation to work. I spent half of the work time laying on bed, thinking. I am wishing to make a move or change, but there is nothing I could do. It is beyond my control. All I can do is waiting. But what if my chance have ended by now?

Sounds like me... But then sometimes thinking in bed leads to new ideas. Before sleeping, telling yourself to solve problems may work. I didn't even know about this, but apparently your subconscious can be instructed to go to work this way and give you results the next day or soon thereafter. There's a whole science to it.

Nonetheless, I know the feeling of having no motivation and wishing just to stay in bed all day. Sometimes the pressure is overwhelming. The current work-from-home situation only worsens this, since no one is even checking up on me.

Deilla · Oct 15, 2020 at 01:32 PM

I feel like I'm dong pretty well today. I'm relaxed and I'm in a good mood.

Fuzzybear · Oct 15, 2020 at 04:48 PM

I have been experiencing some emotional ups and downs

I was told by a Christian lady (not anyone here) to be less ''intense'' with my emotions.

My personal experience is that emotions are not easy to turn on and off, and not like a tap, on command. Reminds me of when I was so unacceptable at age 9 months for crying when left alone in the dark.......

Fuzzybear · Oct 15, 2020 at 04:51 PM

In one of my threads, a while ago, which was supposed to be about music,... specific bands we are listening to, people posted for MONTHS... things like ''listening to the radio''.

I tried to, gently, let them know my original intent for the thread.

i did not accuse them of REPEATING THEMSELVES since that would not be kind or thoughtful.... I do not enjoy upsetting or triggering others...

I do not understand people who ENJOY hurting others

does anyone know why some people do this?

(not anyone on pc)
