I still don't feel depressed. So that's good. I just need to push myself to get mire done.

I'm having a hard time leaving my apartment. I have comfortable N95 masks that I feel reasonably safe wearing. It's not fear of COVID. I never have suffered from Agoraphobia. I'm not sure what it is. I just don't want to exit my place. Part of the problem is Internet addiction. Also I have the news on constantly. I fear I'm going to miss some important development, if I turn off the TV.

Dear Rose, I believe you are helping others when you post. Please keep talking here like you have. You have helped me. Thank you!

feeling unimportant

even people in my situation are more important than I am

I can't believe that I actually did fulfill a big goal for myself this morning! I have been scolding myself & wishing for this! Oh my goodness, how "little things" sure do mean a lot!

p.s. @raging vortex, you are important to this universe & to the rest of us! All of us need & are important to each other!

Things are really not going well for me. And I feel really alone with it and just generally insignificant. I definitely feel like I need a higher level of care, but that's not doable. I am struggling so much and it feels like nothing is ever going to get better. I feel traumatized by experiencing such severe, unrelenting depression for so long. I realize that sounds really dramatic but it's the truth. It's like if I had been in excruciating pain for months and months, only the pain is emotional. I'm traumatized by not just the pain itself but the experience of being unable to lessen it let alone make it stop. I'm terrified because it seems this is just my life now and there's no escape.

I think I'm more tired then depressed. I woke up really early this morning. Also I drank an iced coffee which I knew not to do yet still did anyways. So my stomach was messed up for a bit. I did dwell slightly on some stuff that happened 2 years ago today and tommorow. But it was the first time I dwelled on them in a long time. Basically I think I'm mainly just tired.

Whenever I get close to having a conversation about my mental health at work, I heard comments that are so dismissive that I keep my mental struggles to myself. My boss is so unsensitive.

My online therapist upset me today. I told her I was really depressed. She didn't address it. Even when I said something about it. She just ignored it. I quit therapy. I'm not doing it anymore. I left her a bad review. She's really not helping me.

Ups & downs, all the time. I get sad & let myself down (or the other way around) & then I get inspired & pull myself back up. This morning I'm somewhere in the middle on my way up.

Didn't sleep and feeling low. Not much support

Just...feeling...depressed...I wish all of you well in your personal struggle against this invisible monster.

I’m feeling down about some things. I don’t know that I’m depressed. Just sad and brooding.

[Rose76]

I'm not depressed. Still, I don't get much done.

I'm feeling like I'm being surrounded by people who are unhappy and uncaring. When I'm with people who are unhappy, it effects me. Also I'm feeling guilty that I'm not moving in a direction to try to change my life; and I feel like I have to. Or I'll be sorry if I don't.

I'm very stressed about my new job. The coursework is difficult. I have burnt out already.

I wish my insurance had legit mental health coverage so I could get good care. At the same time having all my medical stuff paid and being able to see good doctors and go to good hospitals is cool too. But often times I feel like my mental health is taking a toll because of my insurance. But the main issue today seems to be me freaking out about a doctors appointment on Monday and the reason I'm seeing the doctor is because of a physical issue. So like is my depression related to my lack of mental health coverage or my physical health issue where I will get good care because my insurance is great when it comes to medical stuff? I just hate insurance companies in general.

I don’t ascribe to a lot of dominant society social norms, beliefs, gender norms or expectations…

I find it offensive when advised to “get over” the loss of a loved one.

I don’t feel or ascribe to grief having a time period.

I view journaling, blogging and posting on forums the same.

I post on here and chronic illnesses Facebook groups, to process my thoughts , frustrations, brainstorm, brain dump and to laugh.

It does not mean everyone is seeking advice or need a FIX.

It’s important to assess IF questions or feedback were ASKED.

And it’s important to leave the person alone when asked.

It does not matter if you have the best of intentions, feel you were being nice because people have the right to be left alone and NOT want your unsolicited feedback.

I feel kind of blah. Took three days off from from doing anything productive and really need to do something useful today.

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm not doing much either & I kind of hate myself today. Oh, well.
