I woke up feeling bad. Yesterday was not a good day and I feel like I'm recovering from it. I didn't sleep well last night. Just after 2 AM this morning I got roused out of sleep with sirens from the police. On the next street over, the police had parked with their lights on and I could see them with flashlights looking for someone. Also there was a low-flying helicopter circling around, so it was very noisy. Apparently the police were looking for a criminal who was hiding. So some hard-core criminal is hiding and lurking at where I live!

I hope that today will be a better day than yesterday.

I hope that for you as well; that your day will become good! My day started well and has continued to be so. I cross my fingers for a good tomorrow.

I'm home from the hospital for the past 8 hrs. Since getting a blood transfusion, I feel much improved.

Don't feel depressed for now.

Good to hear that you are better!

I am a bit tired after my jogging outside, but still feel this is a good day!

feel okay

accept for the fact that I ache because I've been in the shower

Busy this morning. Not feeling so good emotionally so far. Later on yesterday was not a good time. I had arguments with my sister and friend. And those two are the only people I have in my life. I didn't sleep well again last night.

I've got a lot of housework to catch up on. For a few weeks I neglected so much. I thought it was due to depression, though I didn't feel that despondent. Turns out I was severely anemic. That got corrected in the hospital by a blood transfusion.

Now I look at what a mess the place is, and I don't know where to start. I guess it doesn't matter where . . . . just start anywhere.

The doctors at the hospital figured I must be bleeding in my gut somewhere. They did scopes of upper and lower GI tract, but didn't find any ulcer or any other abnormality. So I have more tests to go for as an outpatient.

This is about the 3rd time I've been seriously anemic in the past year. Doctors don't know why. I hope the anemia doesn't return for a while - at least long enough for me to get my apartment cleaned and straightened up.

I'ld been taking a pain medication that was helping me. Now I can't take it because doctors fear it could be the cause of internal bleeding. It's hard to get things done when I feel sore.

Today has not been very good, but I'm not giving up. Still time ahead of me today, & I'm looking forward to a tv show I like.

Today was a better day than the last two, thank goodness. The only bad thing that happened was that I had a cart I borrowed from my apartment to take in my groceries. While I was loading in the cart, the cart got away and rolled down a small hill. The cart then crashed into a curb on the side of the road and the items I had flew out and scattered. The only damage I had was a dozen eggs that fell to the pavement and all of them broke. Oh well! At least there were no other damages.

I called my old college friend this afternoon. We had a pretty good talk. But for some reason, he doesn't quite seem the same as he was back in the college days. Also he had to mention an ex-friend who had done me wrong. I had told him many times that I never want to hear about the ex-friend.

I like your sense of humor!

That was not kind, to rip up (indirectly) old wounds.

My neighbors had a party yesterday evening (inside and outside their home), high music. I managed to fall asleep, but woke up around 02:00 am. Still noises from the party, but not so loud. I haven't slept since, but somehow I feel well now. We'll see how long that lasts. I will try to go on with my planned activities, but take a nap if I need it.

I'm sorry about the eggs. And sorry about your college friend mentioning a bad thing. But I have to say, you seem to be adjusting to this huge change in your life very well. Kudos to you.

[Deilla]

I'm doing ok. Today I plan to relax both physically and emotionally. I have been busy lately. I want to nurture myself today and take it easy.

So far I have had a good day, done housework and other work; relaxed. Are going to continue to relax the rest of the day.

I’m not feeling depressed today. I’m really only feeling anxiety. But I’ll take depression over anxiety. I feel like it’s easier to work through.

I’m worried about my niece who has Covid from her boyfriend. Even though she has her vaccine. I’m worried about the complications she might have later on.

Did the cleaning today and that's about it. Busy enough. My sister called and we got into an argument. So that ruined my day. And I talked to a friend and we got into some heated discussions. We didn't end up mad at each other, but it was not a very satisfying conversation. I'm feeling that it's very difficult to find compatible people for myself.

[Rose76]

I'm not doing too good. I certainly feel better than when I went to the hospital last Saturday. I feel very alone. I think of making a phone call to someone, but I don't want to bother anyone.

Next I have to make me some supper. I don't feel up to cooking. A friend wanted to come by and bring me some soup she just made. I discouraged her. I just didn't feel like having her come by. She's never been what I would call a comforting presence.

I could visit my neighbor for a chat. She encouraged me to stop by more often. But she's pretty focused on herself. I miss my bf.

[Deilla]

I feel stressed tonight. I'm having a hard time sleeping.

We have to hope that she is lucky and have no complications later.

My day has been good so far! Have been out and read a lot at home.

[Rose76]

I feel depressed, anxious and afraid.

I guess it will pass. Sooner or later, it always does.

I wanted to reply to those two sentences around a couple of days ago but I had put it off. That quote, up above, sounds so much like me. My GP said that I had depression but didn't go details as to what kind it was.

I'll have times when I would feel great but then it's so easy to sink down. Either I will think of something coming up that I'm dreading, something is going to go wrong (in my imagination), or most of all someone will upset me.
