I called Uber for a ride to the ER. I'm here now. At home I was dizzy and could hardly walk straight.

I suspect I may have something serious wrong with me. I wasn't prepared to find myself incapacitated, maybe permanently. I almost can't walk.

[Breaking Dawn]

God bless all of you! And thank you for being here!!

Oh boy. What happened?

[Rose76]

I'm getting worked up for anemia.

I'm getting good care and glad to be here.

I worked on a couple of projects today. That helped me to feel good. I'm relaxing now and enjoying my evening.

[Kelly68]

Well the owner gave me 3 or 4 days notice, I'm both excited and nervous. My backs hurting, I know this is going to be a huge challenge. I haven't slept well in weeks, and I like almost 10 hours.... I got 4 last night. I'm so anxious. My nylons broke as I opened them tonight. I know that sounds trivial but I had a dress I wanted to wear. It's stressful to pay for these things this month, like new tools. I'm worried I might let her down, because I was busy cleaning and wearing myself out at home.

For the past six months I have been working on writing erotic fiction. I've changed to writing erotic fiction to try my hand at a more popular genre of writing.

In 6 months I've written and published 33 sbort stories. I'm working on my first erotic novel which will be finished by the end of this month. I hope this will finally be my ticket out of misery.

I was a boring day today for the most part. Did not do much. I have no appointments of any kind until three weeks from now, which is an appointment that I'm dreading.

Good to hear!

[Deilla]

I don't have a lot of energy today. All I can manage is self-care.

[Breaking Dawn]

I need to keep myself distracted to minimize sad feelings, so I've been playing games, googling, & watching tv.

This job is demanding. They started me right away trying to go as fast as the young experienced in the system they have. It may take me longer, but I got some pretty wild hair to start with. Today I had a man get upset that he didn't get what he wanted. I tried so hard to give him what he asked. I kept my cool, but when I heard "worst haircut ever" and I'm sensitve and in pain already from these last 2 days, I had to walk out for a breather. THeres no air condition, I was sweating buckets.

They push you to go fast, but I got very very long hair to layer and cut. A mother was EXTREMELY RUDE, I did what she asked. there was just the tiniest amount of hair she kept going back and saying see it's not right there, now there, well GEEZZZ, if I keep cutting when I finished the style, it looks worse. She yelled at me and the stylist I brought over (who was so kind to help me try to calm this mother down) that 'IF YOU'RE TRAINING SOMEONE NEW YOU SHOULD GIVE A HEADS UP!!! "
I've been a stylist for 28 years. It hurts when you know you did well and someone picks at you. Rant over.

I feel so sore, I'm in so much pain I know getting out of this bed in the morning is going to feel like pushing a huge boulder up and mountain. 12 hours and no paid break or time to sip water. UGHHH

Hugs to all struggling with this depression and trying to make their way through life.

Hope that today goes better!

This day I feel almost happy!

[Deilla]

I don't feel all that great today. I have a doctor's appointment this morning and I'm not sleeping well. I feel anxious about it.

Hope that your appointment went well and that you feel better soon!

Downs & ups, but things are ok at the moment.

[Rose76]

Doing a lot better. I might get out of the hospital this eve. I was here for sudden extreme weakness, related to anemia.

In the morning I was feeling OK. But then from the late morning to now I feel very down. Things happened late this morning to get me down. I had a good talk with my friend and then he brought something up to argue about. And then he hung up quickly when I didn't agree with him. After that there were some financial set backs that I didn't expect. I'm trying to remain positive but it's hard to do sometimes.

[Kelly68]

3rd day over. I couldn't stand longer, I had to leave early. Every customer was satisfied. It's a demanding franchise. I'm questioning if I made the right decision to ask for the job back. I'll make just a bit more than I have on disability, and I'm realizing I'm worn so thin, I'm so sore. I had to take a pain pill and aleve. I was hardly able to get going after 2 hours sleep again.

I was diagnosed bipolar many years ago. Then it was major depression. I've hardly known peace in my whole life. I've so rarely had one full day where I can say I felt good. I wanted to feel like I could do this, for just a little self confidence and independence. But I'm in "high gear" i can't stop thinking. Doesn't even matter, I take all my meds and can't shut my brain off. There's so much noise at work I feel I'm getting deaf.

I hope they stop pushing being there for several more hours than it was last year. I'm not able to even sit for more than 30 min in a 12 hour plus commute drive day. I'm fed up too, someone stole my tips. I made over 80 in tips my first day, I did take pride in my work and making people happy. Life can suck.

I feel OK and well!

[Deilla]

I don't feel all that well. I didn't sleep much and I had a difficult evening. Today I have one stressful event. The rest of the time I will try to relax. I might have some light housework to do.

[Breaking Dawn]

It's been quite a struggle but I keep trying, & I have been busy this morning already working on a goal. I hope to keep doing that today. I wish so much I could succeed the way I want to. I think my emotional pain would lessen if I saw noticeable progress from my efforts. I feel a little bit of hope & belief that I will experience a positive sign pretty soon that I'm heading upward, back into my better self.

I hope you will see progress, even if the progress is just a tiny bit!
