Not depressed, but lazy today, which is a kind of low-grade depression.

I feel very sad. I have no energy or motivation to do anything.

The days lately have not been making me feel too well. I'm feeling like there are events coming up for me that I dread and not much to look forward to. Also I have been feeling depressed about pay cuts. I'm taking home less money now because of new taxes.

+1. That's been a constant feeling. I wonder whether it'll be realized at some point, but it probably won't be anything expected.

As of now, all of a sudden today, I have some doctor appointments coming up very soon. It should be for the next two weeks. I got a call this afternoon to have an MRI scheduled. It's going to cost money out of my pocket, even though I have health insurance. I have other check ups as well coming up and I'm hoping they will be OK. I have anxiety because I have had some problems before with these kind of check ups. And I have health anxiety anyways to go along with it.

Other than that, it was very slow at work. I feel like I'm coping a little bit better at work lately. Maybe it's because I've become used to it and the end of it is coming within a few months from now.

Good luck with your doctor appointments, @will19! I have my fingers crossed for you. It will be wonderful when you find out everything's ok, & I hope your anxiety will transform into relief & relaxation.

I did my usual Saturday stuff this morning. This time it seems like I got things done sooner, which leaves with with a little more time to myself. I'm starting to feel a little bit down now that all of the activities are over with. I plan to rest a bit and then go on a bike ride. Most likely I'll be watching a movie tonight at home like I always do

The day got off to an interesting start. After breakfast my coffee grinder didn't work. I did everything I could to get it going, but no dice. So I had to go to a store a bit of a ways to buy another one. I bought that grinder only two months ago. When I went out of the door, someone had put three small chocolate hearts on my doormat. No note with it though.

My sister called and it went alright. Though she can be pretty depressing because all she seems to talk about are people dying. Plus she repeats herself a lot and tell stories that drag on and on. And I spoke to my brother. He called unexpectedly. We had a pretty nice talk.

Took a long bike ride after lunch and then that's about it for the day.

I’ve been doing pretty good with my depression. I stopped taking all psychotropic medications in 2018 and it was the best choice for me. After being misdiagnosed when my original diagnoses was always depression. I’ll never go to another mental provider again.

I found several things that work for me as coping skills.....music, coloring, reading, blogging, traditional Indigenous music, praying to my ancestors, chatting with folx, soaking, knitting 🧶 etc.

My main challenge at the moment is lack of energy for things I need to get done. But I seem to have improved my attitude, so my mood has improved.

I have been dedicating myself to a new change in direction for my work. It's only been about a month and a half--far too soon to tell whether this will be successful or not. I promised myself to keep at it for six months, starting January 1 of this year, before deciding whether to continue on this new direction or abandon it to reassess. Early returns are mixed; better than expected, but worse than hoped. I'll just have to keep at it until the end of June, by which time I'll have perfected a series of methods and will be better positioned to crank out the work on a more regular basis.

It was a slow day at work, but I guess it had to be expected because it's a holiday, even though I went to work. Tonight the signal for my TV just went out while I was in the middle of watching a show. That has never happened before. I don't
have cable, just an antenna. It had worked for so long and then suddenly the signal went out. There was no warning about it and the wires seem to be properly connected.

I'm doing well this morning. I got about 6 hours of sleep. I've been relaxing and doing some chores. I got the most difficult one out of the way first.

It’s too early for me to start my day so I guess I’ll go back to sleep soon.

my depression has not been treating me well lately at all my but I am pretty convinced Seasonal Affective Disorder. I haven't been really diagnosed with it....but frankly every single winter....I end up feeling down and worse then I typically do....along with the fact I would be taking meds or not.

I don't personally think quarantine has helped much of anyone! staying at home all the time not going outside as much, not seeing people face to face its really rough to deal with.

Finding it difficult to ask for what I need - maybe I should be more forceful. Nope, gentle reminders usually work or at least I should try that first.

Dear @ann bog, I have been like you all my life. And I really do feel more concern for other's wants & needs, because I don't want them to hurt. I always put myself last because I had this feeling that they needed to feel valuable, & they should have that. I felt love & at the same time, I felt less than those that I cared about. That was so wrong. After all these years, I'm realizing that each one of is important. Each one of us has a purpose, whether we know it or not. You are very important to many people, some being strangers, & you will never know how important you were to them.

I'm up when I should be sleeping. So I feel disappointed in myself. But I need to give myself a break. I've been in bed for 6 hours off and on so far. That's better than normal.

I feel a bit tired and maybe a little sad. It's time for me to go back to bed. I'll probably meditate a while and cuddle with my cats.

I`ve been feeling really down and irritable. I haven`t been on the Rexulti that was prescribed for me because it wasn`t approved for some time now. I don`t think I would go back on it now because the withdrawals were very unpleasant and I don`t want to go through that again. My doc also had prescribed a new med to see if it would help my depression but I had to stop taking it because of the side effects. So here I am stuck in a state of depression . But hey it`s not like the meds were doing much. I guess I just needed a little room to vent .Thanks for reading and hugs to all that want them.

Not feeling up to par today. I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for this morning and didn’t make it and need to take my brother to the eye doctor later and I’m not up for that either. Having a bad day.
