Very depressed right now.

[Breaking Dawn]

I am feeling so many things right now. I wish I could type or write it all down & get it all out of me.

[Deilla]

I am feeling a bit sad and a little anxious.

I've been going through some depression and anxiety. I'm thinking a lot about what should I do in the future. But I need to live in the present, which is OK for now.

This morning I had a bit of a scare. As I was preparing and having breakfast my left leg hurt a lot suddenly. A few minutes later I made a body move and my lower back snapped a little bit. Just after that my leg felt a whole lot better. Pain was gone totally without a trace. It was really weird.

I'm feeling guilty because my friend, last night, asked me if I could pick him up and bring him to my place. His wife is having a ladies group at the house for lunch and he needed to be away from there. I helped him out about a month ago when his wife had a ladies group at the house at that time. I felt he was difficult to deal with, which is why I didn't want to do it this time. Plus I wanted to visit some museums that had free admissions this morning. I had it planned some time ago and probably wouldn't have another chance at it again.

It good to stay busy. With this pandemic? Everyone is struggling and feeling depressed. Keep at whatever you are doing we will get through this.

Sometime just taking a nap will put us in a better mood.

Keep writing it will get better. The right words will come at the right time.

You are doing good. Keep at it. Keep fighting even though it is hard. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

For now I'm planning to go on a bike ride a week from tomorrow. I think that's when I'll be able to do it. I miss it so much.

That is awesome that you are feeling better emotionally. Sometime just mild exercise is all we need to do to improve our mood.

I’m sorry that you are feeling depressed and that your therapist didn’t send the email as promised. Sometime a distraction is all we need to take our mind off of everything that is bothering us.

I’m sorry that you are feeling sad and lonely. I’m always sad and I’m always lonely. I hope that you get a good night sleep.

I get angry at my situation even though there's no one to blame but myself. I just want my sons to be alright. I just want my own place but that's looking impossible. My landlord was home all week when he's usually at a job. We don't get along too well. It seems when I'm down about things he likes to rub it in my face. I know deep down he must be a good person, but he's comparing oranges to apples. He has everything he needs to be happy. If he sees what he thinks is wrong with me it's like shoving it in front of me to say it's my fault for being depressed and down. He has put my son down for things he can't begin to understand. The lonliness will get to me soon. I talk to my cat.... I'd say I'm almost there at being the so called crazy cat lady. I wish I could just have answers to things there seems to be no answers for. I wish I was good at something. I wish my "friends" were there to remember me, at least once. I only have 2 and they are distant. Life seems pointless to me too right now.

Don’t be too hard on yourself depression and grief tells us things that are not true about ourselves. Have you considered that your landlord is very unhappy about his own life? People who are happy? Don’t feel the need to put other people down because of their own insecurities they may have they are always giving compliments to others.

It takes times to write and then get published. Think about J. K. Rowling how many copies of her book were sent to publish that were turn down.

Sometime cleaning up just a small space of a room is enough to help us feel better. I’m glad that you are feeling better.

I'm still not doing to good. Got weepy this p.m. I got to pull out of this.

[Breaking Dawn]

I managed to accomplish some things yesterday & then I ran into some difficulties & woke up this morning feeling sad. I'm trying to build up my courage this morning to face the things I need to do today.

I don't need to write my post. You wrote it for me.

I commend your clarity and eloquence.

That is great advice.
