It occurred to me, this morning, that the bulk of my depression (as well as a lot of my anxiety perhaps?) is situational. The problem is those situations aren't going to change. So I'm just stuck with the whole mess. Oh well...

Oh, my goodness, @Skeezyks. Is it because this thread hasn't been posted on in a while? Or is it something in your own life?

Well, I know I'm weird, but I realize that's just part of being my real self. And I am me, whoever that is. Some people believe that what we are really doing every day is dreaming & "life" isn't real. So I guess I shouldn't get so sad or apprehensive about things? I mean, if I'm only dreaming all this... But then, what about the pain that feels so real?

I've been wanting to post an update of sorts for some time, but it's taken me a while to find what felt like the right moment to do so and the right place to put it.
A few weeks ago, I checked myself into the psych ward for the 1st time ever, where I stayed as an inpatient for a week. By requesting this myself, it allowed me to feel some sense of retaining control - something that has always been important to me. I have to say, that it really did help me, insomuch as I was able to get some physical & mental rest and come back from the downward spiral that I knew I was losing my fight against. So, I find myself back to where I had been a few years past - in recovery, but daunted by the (largely situational) challenges ahead, whilst trying to keep my headspace in a good place. Wish me luck! |

I'm feeling depressed. I tend to post less when I'm feeling this way. Me & the voices have been listening to beautiful music & singing to the lyrics on the internet. I expect to feel better later. I try different things. I hope all of you will feel better, too.

What sort of music have you been listening to? If you'd like to share?
I'm going to try mindfulness (again). I try a bit here and there but haven't got very far with it. __________________ |

Not much going on in the Skeezyks' world. Same old, same old. I am working on getting myself off of clonazepam. I'm halfway there and, so far, so good. I have to try to do this because it's becoming increasingly difficult, for a variety of reasons, to get to my pdoc's office every 3 months especially during the winter months. If I can get myself off of the clonazepam, then I can leave my quarterly pdoc appointments behind.
I mostly listen to what's termed "relaxing music" on YouTube. Three of my favorites are: the "relaxdaily" channel, Peder B. Helland's channel, and the BGM channel. Beyond that, I have lots of favorite songs. But one that really gets me where I live, as the saying goes, is (of course) "Nobody Knows Me at All" by the Weepies because... nobody knows me at all... even me... __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."
