A pretty nice day today. I went to the dentist and everything checked out well. Very pleased about that.

However, there's still one down side going on for me but I think that problem will be solved very soon. Since last Thursday my phone line had shut down. There was no warning that it was going to happen. I had a combination of phone and internet service. Internet is great; phone is terrible. I got a cell phone just last Saturday so that I can call Customer Service. I felt like I never needed a cell phone. And now I have one because I need it. I have been calling Customer Service and they told me that someone cancelled my phone service. I know I didn't cancel it. So CS has been complicated to deal with. As of now they told me to call next week to get my service back. Since I got my cell phone, I may just cancel their phone service and keep the internet. It sounds like someone may have hacked into my account. By the way, I had a landline phone.

I spoke to my sister today. I had called her a couple of days ago but was only able to leave a message. I left her a message saying that my phone is down and if she needs to talk, call my cell phone. Today, while she and I were talking, I explained what happened to me. Funny thing was that she told me that the same kind of thing that happened to me happened to her also.

Today was not good, but maybe tomorrow?

[Rose76]

For hours I've been in bad shape with anxious agitation, on top of the depression that came back. I see no light at the end of the tunnel. All I see is more and more tunnel.

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm sorry, Rose76! Mental illness is such an unfair & terrible thing. This morning is already so very painful for me, too. One of the voices has been scolding the others, while allowing my physical & mental/emotional/spiritual pain to continue. I keep wishing, praying for this torment to stop. You don't want to know about this, do you? So I try to keep this part of my life hidden. I love & wish the best for all of you, dear others.

I am not doing well today. I am sitting right up and down surifng Internet for no reason.


I will rest for an hour. After that I will make a list (in private) for how to come through the rest of the day.
I will probably buy take away for dinner.

I hope everyone's day is a little better today. At least the days are getting longer now for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

I had my rest and did buy "Take away". It is important to give one's body enough nutrition.

The rest and the nutrition has given me hope in how to go on from here ...


Live in the UCT timezone, so I will only see the news before I write my list for tomorrow. After that I will relax until bedtime.

I don't do hot weather well. I'm having a hard time sleeping, too. I can't sleep well because of the heat. Hopefully the heat wave will be over soon.

I’m sorry that your tired the heat will do that to a person .

I believe you

Layoffs season is well underway in the industry here. This is the time you learn just how little a corporation cares about you as a human being -- i.e., not at all, except inasmuch you serve its goals.

[Rosi700]

I will go early to bed this day, but I will see the evening news first and then try to relax with a bit of Netflix.

I was up early and went through my usual morning routines. It was very cold outside, so I skipped my ordinary walk in the fresh air. Instead, I went to shop groceries. The food prices... May be the 2023 will be the year of oatmeal porriges? Who knows... Well, my grandparents survived the second world war, so I cannot give in. If they could, I can. I will make a budget soon. I need to find what I have to let go and what can stay of my ordinary living.

I don't feel depressed (I think), but I feel some kind of hopelessness and sadness. The winter is always difficult for me. To have these high food prices on top of everything doesn't make it easier. Every winter I struggle to come through.

Sometimes I have wondered if I should move to a place where the winters are milder. I feel too old to start anew. So I have to continue here and continue with my Cognitive Therapy program. It is good, but sometimes one has to let out frustrations because of the time we are living in, the war in Ukraine and everything ...

Tomorrow I will do housework at the time scheduled for walking outside. The cold weather will continue for the next days...

Sorry for ranting, but some days feel harder than others. I have fought for decades, and always something happens that almost take the breath out of me. For the time being it is the food prices.
