Bad Day Check List

1). Have you been eating healthy?

What have you been feeding yourself lately?

Are you hungry right now?

Could you make yourself some food?

2). Are you hydrated?
Do you need some water or juice?

3). Have you been sleeping enough lately?
Do you need to lay down right now and take a nap?

4). Do you need to shower?
Would a change of clothes help?

5). Are your surroundings neat and tidy?
Could you tidy up your room a bit?

6). Have you been in nature recently?
Have you gotten some sunshine?
Could you take some vitamin D right now?

7). Have you moved your body?
Do you need to go for a walk?
Or go for a run?
Would working out help?

8). Have you spoken to someone who can help you work out your thoughts and feelings?
Is there someone in your life that you can open up to and be vulnerable with?

9). Do you need peace and quiet?
Would meditation help?
Or would listening to music help?

10). Do you need to cry?

Still depresed. I feel so alone.

I tell myself that this will pass. It always does. That doesn't help with how I feel now.

I applied for a job last May and got ghosted after a great interview. I wondered if something happened at the organization that led to them hiring nobody because a month or so later, I saw them advertising for two senior positions. The job I applied for was reposted the other day and I noticed they have a new executive director. I just sent my application again. Fingers crossed...

My depressive tailspin blew over. I took enough of various meds to knock myself out last night, and I got a good night's sleep. I'm not depressed really today. I won't be doing any crying today. Funny how that despondency comes in like a weather front and then lifts like fog dissipating. I don't feel great, but this is a big enough improvement to feel like quite a relief.

Past 2 hours, my thought processes have been kind of manic. I wish I had a doctor or counselor I could really work with to try and modify this constant cycling that I do. I did all that to death in past years. I spent thousands out of my own pocket on shrinks and therapists, besides the treatment that insurance paid for. I stuck with some of those professionals for years at a time. I can't say any of it had much impact. I was put on all kind of psychotropics. Most did nothing. So now I just see my PCP where we hardly ever discuss my psych history. She prescribes my tricyclic antidepressant. I ride out the bumpy stretches with no help from anyone.

Last year I did get inpatient psych care after my boyfriend died. That was very helpful, mainly because I had some really nice peers on the psych units. Interacting with them was what pulled me out of despair. The meds they gave me did nothing. I wish I had a professional to talk to who would really understand, even if they had nothing else to offer treatment-wise.

I’m concerned about my physical health. And for the first time since the pandemic It’s not my anxiety it’s really going on to me and my family. Plus I’m having more surgery complications which worries me on top of what is already going on. I’m worried that my immune system is compromised. I sent a message to my doctor. So I’ll see what he says. But I don’t know if I can go into the office if I’m sick and the ER is always a waste of time. They are nice it’s just a waste of time.

As far as using a Jacuzzi goes, I'll have to wait about four weeks. That really hurts.

I was feeling very depressed today, even though earlier today, I thought I could get back into the things I miss. It seems like this has been a sucky year for me so far. I thought it would be better than last year. Not so!
Im glad that the doctor got back in touch with you. I’m sorry that you are still on restrictions and feeling depressed. I been there myself.

But besides that I haven’t been totally depressed today. I’ve been limiting myself on how much news I watch. I deactivated my Facebook a few days ago and I still don’t want to activate it again. I also logged out of my Reddit page and I logged out of all my email accounts. Just for my own peace of mind. I plan on watching AGT and the new Drag Race Allstars episode tomorrow. I’ll have to get into my emails though. But not the other stuff.
Sometime grief can affect our mood. Sometime we just need a break from internet.

I feel okay. I did a lot of relaxation activities today and I've napped twice. I also meditated.

It's just 5 hrs since my last post, where I said that my depressive episode had blown over. Already I'm weepy again. That's the shortest recovery I've had in a long time.

I'll pull out of this . . . somehow.

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.
