My sleep is improving. The doseage of my antidepressant being increased made a big difference. I'm going to bed at the same time and waking at the same time. I need to plan an outing to get out around people. Hopefully this weekend someone is available, or I'll just go for a walk.

I've been having a hard time. I'm being pretty good with my attitude. I'll keep trying to hang in there. I hope the turnaround happens soon.

I had some breif depression today just about things in general. Right now I'm just pretty physically tired.

Let us know if you go for a walk. Sometimes on a rainy day rather than walking I do 5 minute Tai Chi on youtube Tai Chi 5 Minutes a Day Module 01 - easy for beginners - YouTube Have a great day! __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

@CANDC thank you for the link. I'm up earlier today, but instead of a walk, it was way too hot yesterday. I did do some stretching excersises. I'll have a look at that link. I feel ok today so far. I think I should have had my antidepressant upped a long time ago. Hugs to everyone who struggles with depression and anxiety

I also use a free app called Healthy Minds that is helping me work to straighten out the mess in my mind and allow me a little more calm. I think it all can help. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

I received contact from my insurance company that I've been assessed 100% of the fault for the minor accident. This was expected and doesn't bother me. I'm hoping the smudge of paint will be cheap to repair, perhaps a few hundred dollars at most. If that's the case, I'll reimburse my insurer out of pocket for the repairs in order to avoid any increase in premiums.
I'm working on a new book. I don't think it's very good, but then it's just the first draft. |

I'm just in general really really unhappy at the moment. If I eat I get - they need to remove my entire stomach-type pain and nausea. If I don't eat my anxiety and mental health really suffers because my meds don't work properly without food. I have a procedure on Thursday but right now I don't know what to do.

First heat wave this season, seemingly to commemorate last year's record-shattering heat. Normally I'd be headed to the deserts and forests to enjoy it, but that's tough nowadays. Need to find a place to live first, hopefully in some area like that...

Physically, I have gotten better and better. Mentally, I've been unmotivated and neglecting everything.
I got some things done today. Maybe I can build on that tomorrow. Mornings are awful. I wake up, stuck in molasses. |

I am getting very depressed because I have counted up all the submissions I've sent off on my current novel and it's about 60. 60 submissions and not a single request for the manuscript. I've had a few people read it and they praised it, although I'm not sure it's any good. It's possible the subject matter is too controversial, but I doubt that's it. The easiest and simplest explanation is just that it's a terribly-written book.

One prime example might be JK Rowling, who couldn't make ends meet and is now richer than the Queen of England, apparently. Her case may be unique and extreme, but it highlights what's always possible. (And I don't mean authors like James Patterson, who seem to churn out 18 books every month and turned it into a highly orchestrated industry.) |

I don't think I'm depressed I think theres something medically wrong with me. If I were depressed I wouldnt be planning on going to this huge family BBQ out of state on Saturday. Basically I'm tired and worn out and nauseated and not hungry all the time but I'm not sure from what. My pdoc told me he thinks I have cancer. Thanks that makes me feel better and I don't think thats part of his job to be telling me that anyways.

Last July I kept wanting to sit down shortly after starting any little bit of housework. I assumed I was depressed, even though I really didn't feel despondent. Then I struggled to carry a few groceries in from the car and had to rest before I could put them in the fridge. I went to the E.R. They found I was "critically" anemic. They ended up giving me a unit of packed red blood cells. What a difference that made! One of my symptoms for days beforehand had been nausea and sudden vomiting. (It seems being under-oxygenated can make you nauseated and needing to throw up.) Six months prior, my bloodwork was all fine. Things can change a lot in a short while. Hope you feel better. Currently, I'm doing pretty okay. |

I'm looking forward to the weekend. It's a long weekend, and as I normally don't work Fridays I'm getting Thursday off instead. So I'll have a four-day weekend.

I feel like I am letting people at home push my buttons which is stressing me out and causing me to feel down.
