Didn't sleep and feeling low. Not much support

[regretful]

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.

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.

[Deilla]

I feel tired and sad and bored.

[Mountaindewed]

I've ignored the news all day. The only news I saw was by accident and it was something about that asswipe lady Kim Davis. So my depression was not off the charts. I am still bummed about a couple things but I'll hopefully get answers tommorow about whats going on with my health. I don't feel sick. Just really cold. Sometimes I feel like my therapist can go suck it and I wonder what she has actually done to help me compared to other people who are currently in my life. Myself included.

I kept myself moving today but it felt like a nothing kind of day. A couple of things I worked at didn't produce good results. It has rained here for part of the day, but for some reason, I didn't mind.

[Rose76]

All I want to do is rest. It's ridiculous.

My depression spikes when I experience chronic illness(es) flare ups.

I’ve been experiencing a chronic illness(es) flare up for 6 weeks straight.

I’m now at the irritability phase and getting teary eyed during sad movie scenes.

I'm trying to be positive this morning. But I have high expectations and things aren't working out, so I am sad. I have a lot to be grateful for. Why can't I be happy?

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm having a hard time, too. Maybe it's all complicated by something in the air, so to speak.

5 Ways You Might Still Get a Surprise Medical Bill
Even with the No Surprises Act and its consumer protections now in effect, you can still get an unexpected bill. Here's what to do.

5 Ways You Might Still Get a Surprise Medical Bill - Consumer Reports


I knew this was nothing to get excited about. It’s created by politicians who absolutely can NOT relate to everyday people or individuals with disabilities.

Politicians who work for the government and don’t worry about medical insurance and medical bills.

I’m very upset. I stopped receiving Xolair injections for Chronic Urticaria because I could no longer afford the office visits.

My immunologist said he would have someone look into this. I have an appointment next month to follow up.

My credit had multiple medical bills and a few were listed more than once. It doesn’t matter if you make regular payments the medical system expects people on a fixed income to pay a bill off in 3 payments. I keep a spreadsheet with all my medical bills and payments.

I have Medicare and don’t qualify for Medicaid. I’ve been denied multiple times because of income. There are so many medications NOT covered by Medicare.

I’ve had lab work NOT covered. My Endocrinologist is looking into why my last thyroid labs were denied and deemed NOT NECESSARY. Some days are a real struggle…

I second the 'something in the air' theory. I don't know why, but I just feel deflated.

[Breaking Dawn]

Maybe we need a bicycle pump.

I have been feeling off lately myself, even though there's not much to feel off about. Except for early this morning when I received a rejection message from a place that I applied to for a job. It might have been just as well anyways. But a rejection gets me down.

What I personally think is in the air is that it's Spring. Some people have springtime depression. I do. Also we had recently changed our clocks one hour ahead. That affects a lot of people. I haven't slept as well as before since the time change. Certainly, not sleeping well can effect your mood.

[Deilla]

I'm not sure how I feel today. I'm tired and having difficulty sleeping. So that doesn't help things. But I just played with the cats and that put a smile on my face. I'm cautious I guess.

This week, Depression has been ok…so far.

My two rare diseases is another topic tho and usually are the reason I experience a peek in depression.

I’m sharing this post…this question is often asked to individuals with disabilities which is part of ableism.
