I'm tired and depressed. Not getting anything much accomplished.

Deilla · Jan 07, 2021 at 04:12 AM

I'm exhausted. I'm less stressed but still shaken up pretty badly.

I don't feel so tired this day and hope to make good use of the little energy that is available.

I guess I’m depressed that tomorrow is my last day of group. And then I’m by myself. I know I’m going back into therapy, but still. This is coming from someone who refused the idea of an outpatient program for literal months. And I was against it up until my second day when I thought “this may actually be helpful.”

I feel almost OK.

I don't know.

I feel tired today. But I'm getting a little bit done.

My computer has crashed, taking my work along with it. I'll probably get it back at some point but it's very frustrating.

I'm feeling very tired and sad right now. I have no energy. I'm depressed because career change has proven fruitless. Amazon wields considerable power, and it applies that power very inconsistently, to the detriment of independent authors like me.

Baked cookies, then baked biscotti. They both were quite delicious.

I am tired, stressed and sad today.

The day didn't get off to a good start. I had to wait two hours to use the laundry this morning. That hasn't happened before. There's been a wait before but not that long. So that put me back a bit.

Feeling down now. My friend and I had an argument about politics. He brought it up, not me.

I'm feeling like there are things coming up to dread, nothing to look forward to.

I have my usual Saturday night blues. Dealing with PMDD as well. These thoughts are not any worse then they usually are. But they are still there. And my dysphoria is real bad right now which makes the depression even worse. I’m ok though.

Deilla · Jan 10, 2021 at 01:43 AM

I'm tired of the same things day in and day out - self-care, pet care and housework. I'm not doing anything meaningful with my life. It's depressing. I did have a thought to work on some music this morning. I guess I could give that a try.

Sunflower123 · Jan 10, 2021 at 04:23 AM

I feel pretty good today. Thankfully, my SAD has been mild this year (knock on wood).

Mountaindewed · Jan 10, 2021 at 01:12 PM

I’m super down and anxious right now for no reason. Probably just PMS. I just took my second Xanax and I ate lunch. I’m hoping both helps. I actually started a pretty interesting book and I read 40 pages in one sitting. That’s an improvement from binge watching the same shows and mindless PC scrolling I have been doing.

I'm sorry to hear that, Delia,

! Are you tired of your painting as well? And your cats? Hope often comes from something to look forward to. Are there something in your life that you want to try, but never dared to do? Can you do it if you plan well? Is there a cause you would like to fight for? - some kind of religion, the right for the people of the future to have food and clean water, perhaps an organization that fights for Peace may have some interest for you, saving birds or animals or other ....

There is also the opportunity to work as support for others (and at the same time support yourself). The Depression and Bipolar alliance is one such organization. With them you can even interact and feel community from your PC in live time (see, hear and talk with them).

What about planning a cheep vacation for the time after the vaccination?

This is an extremely difficult year, you know!

Please stay at your feet, the vaccines are around the corner, a few months more and it will become better!

Take care, Deilla!

I feel OK (enough) today. I have relaxed myself with Netflix programs about Nature in USA and South America this day (it took hours), but it was the only thing I found myself able to do. It is could outside, snow and slippery.

I have eaten healthy as well!
