I have tried to get some sleep since I woke up in the middle of the night, but that did not go well.

I decided to get into some de-cluttering from a big box. There were "tons" of paid bills that I can throw away now.

There were also messages from me to me:

"You are clever!"

"Don't let anybody trample you down!

"Be proud of how far you have come!"


And many more... I am really tired, but have to say that this look into the past did me good! I will drink a strong cup of coffee, eat some chocolate and then take a shower. After that I need to go outside for buying groceries.


After dinner, I will have to get rid of all the paid bills and more.

Hope that the next night will give me enough sleep!

I’m glad that your feeling a little bit better today.

This time of year reminds me how some of my family judge for being distant and ignore me when they do see me. They don't realize how much my depression and anxiety affect my relationship with my family.

I might be feeling kind of ok right now. I do know I'm extremely lucky in many ways. Especially because of these wonderful forums. And this morning I listened to some really great music.

I'm feeling depressed today, more so than I thought I would. I guess it's because I made a mistake of talking to my friend before cleaning. Usually when I do cleaning I feel fairly good even though I may not be in the mood to do it. I feel like it's a time to make my place better (cleaner) and to purge or "rock out". After talking to my friend, I felt depressed. He kind of said things that were not that nice. He's always been that way. So, being depressed because of us talking ruined that cleaning time. I'm still feeling depressed now even though the cleaning is long over with. I've been out and about a little bit today and people seem down in spirits.

My family and doctors feel this way about me.

I have been feeling really terrible especially after being diagnosed with severe depression.

I hope you feel better soon. I think this time of year can be challenging when you have depression. You are still the wonderful person you have always been.

I can relate..

Ignoring someone who is judged as ''too quiet'' by malignant narcissists (in that foo anyway they are malignant N's) - talking over that ''too quiet'' person and blaming their scapegoat for not visiting often enough. WHO enjoys being IGNORED at a get together? NOBODY

I wish I could believe that about me.

I'm ''too quiet'', ''too needy'' - everything and anything that is not wonderful, according to THOSE people who have OPINIONS and love to spout out their venom

LOVE to all

I understand. There is pressure to visit and when I do, I am ignored mostly. Being quiet shouldn't be a reason to talk over a person or ignore them. People want to feel welcome and like they belong.

My entire family ignores me and uninvited me to family gatherings when they are not talking down to me. It cause me to have severe depression.

It isn't our fault that we are treated this way. It is their issue. They make assumptions about us that are not true.

I wish I knew how to make them realize how it makes us feel.

I put up the advent stars in my windows at and the advent candles at Saturday. Sunday was OK and calming. Today I have planned to do cleaning. Not the most exciting, but it has to be done.
