I been feeling really awful lately.

will19 · Nov 15, 2022 at 11:50 AM

Not much of a day yesterday. Last night my friend didn't call at the usual time so I got disgusted and went to bed. But then he called when I had already been in bed. He said he fell asleep and forgot. That happens with him a lot. At least it was nice that he called. He's all that I have as a local friend and he's not a good quality one.

The one thing that's been upsetting me is there's been news articles saying that someone like me is going to get stimulus payments coming. I've been hearing it for months and, in all that time, not one cent has come my way. Is this a problem with anyone else on here? It's cruel to build up false hopes for people who need that money, like I do.

I wish that I knew how to feel better.

Had the old familiar feeling last night that I didn't want to go to sleep because there was nothing to get up for, even though I know that's not true.

The sleep problem & tiredness makes sad feelings harder to lift. And feeling so disappointed in myself for not fulfilling my goals.

Sometimes I feel like that myself. I understand how you feel.

I understand how you feel. I feel like that sometimes myself.

Not much to report about today except for a couple of things. Early this morning, while in bed before getting out, I felt like I had a little bit of vertigo. I felt slightly dizzy and lightheaded early this morning but I got better. It's happened to me before but not very often. Late this afternoon I got a little bit of good news that lifted my spirits a bit. For a while in my life lately I've been feeling like the things I hope and root for don't pan out the way I'd hope. So late this afternoon I felt like something did go my way for a change.

Have you tried doing vertigo exercises? Sometimes crystals we have in our ears can cause vertigo.

Today was a fairly good day. I slept well for the first time in a while. I had trouble sleeping for the past couple of weeks because of blowing my nose for an hour or two.

I had mentioned on a previous post about reading an article saying that there would be stimulus payments coming my way. They haven't come. So this morning I decided to go to the state tax office to inquire. It went well as there was no waiting and spoke with a very nice guy. He looked it up and told me that I will be receiving a debit card in the mail next month. I thought that I had seen that mentioned in the article. So that made me feel a little bit better.

After lunch I took a bike ride that was a little bit longer than usual. It seemed like a perfect day for it. I felt better after that bike ride.

I'm feeling depressed but not as depressed as yesterday.

TishaBuv · Nov 18, 2022 at 09:02 AM

Feeling up today, back to baseline “normal” coming off a depressive down that lifted yesterday. My depressive episodes, an angry, sad funk, gets triggered by my relationship issues. Then it just lifts within 24 hours.

What’s your novel about?

I’m glad that your feeling better. I hope the feeling continues to feel good.

Same here... If you learn how, please share here (whether or not it's unique to you). I'll be sure to do so myself, though I don't know my chances.

My therapist was impressed with the coping mechanisms I have. These were things I learn here.

Today was a low day. I just didn't care about anything. I didn't do anything . . . didn't even turn on the TV. Last night's dinner dishes are still in the sink. I'm still in pajamas I put on last evening.

Rose76 · Nov 20, 2022 at 06:45 PM

I'm still in a funk. I've been waiting for it to blow over. It won't just blow over. I have to get up and do what needs doing . . . wash the dishes for a start. No energy. No interest.
