I keep trying to feel better even though I am depressed. I have to stop withdrawing and avoiding. It doesn't help me.

I so much understand this, dear @Yzen, at least from my MI point of view. God bless you, dear friend of birds & other gifts from Mother Nature!

Disappointing news from the auto repair shop. I'm sad about that. I may have to adjust to living without a car. Lots of people do. It's not the end of the world.

The car was like a good friend to me. I hate to send my old friend to the junk yard. I cry, thinking about that.

I have been inside all day. It's too cold outside. It has not been fun, but I have overcome it. Luckely the cold weather will only last for a few days.

Another pretty good day for me emotionally. I settled the indifference with the phone company I do business with. I had a bundle deal - phone and internet. And now I will just have the internet. I got myself a cell phone that's inexpensive.
With what I have going now, I will be saving some money every month now. So glad that ordeal is over.

It's been a pretty good week this week. I had some trials earlier this week, but they all worked out well. Also I don't have anything coming up soon that I'm dreading, so it feels liberating.

This was a sad & difficult day for me, but I'm still managing. As it is for most of the time, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, especially knowing that I have our forums.

I have felt deeply depressed today. The cold weather will probably leave in a few days. I am not able to continue my CBT program when I have to "shave" away parts of my daily schedules because of the weather. So, in spite of the good program, there is little progress. But it will be soon ...

The Spring will come soon and it will be more easy to cope with the difficulties of life and to see the beauty of life as well.

By the way: That I feel that CBT is the best for me now, does not mean that I think that everyone has to do the same. I have tried the "I do understand you so well" approach and, yes, it is good to be understood, but I am not so sure that that alone will move people forward.

For some that may be the only help they need, but we are all different with differnt backgrounds and experiences ...

I have lost three years of my life, first isolated because of Covid and then because of other physical diseases. Some friends have died, others have moved. That means that I have to do a lot of work finding new ones. I have already found some really good people, but I need more to have a satisfying social life. In such a situation with much insecurity, CBT is perfect for me. Thank God for CBT! (For the scientists that invested in it when there were a lot of other topics they could have used their time on).

Enough of that: I am not the type to lay my whole life out at Internet! I live after the values that all people are valuable in themselves, - need to be respected as such, dominance or competing are not among the topics I prefer. I appreciate responsibility and high moral standards.

I wish all my friends at the thread a continued good Saturday! (I will struggle with mine the rest of the day, but even from this dark place I can see hope, so may be the word "grey" is more fit for my situation).

I don't feel well. The weather is a bit milder today, but even with better conditions around me, I feel I need to take a break from the forum. To use CBT is very demanding. I need all the strenght I have to be able to consentreate on that program, so I need to focus on myself only for a period ...

I wish all of you well!

Today was pretty good, relaxed some, napped some, did laundry, washed dishes, watched a movie, and vacuumed. Want to get outside to walk my dog, but didn’t.

Thank you! I have decided to stay because I still need the support from those who are able to support. May be I will not come as often as before, but I will come.

I wished that I didn't have major depression and that I could just be happy

I am a bit better, but not much. I have forgotten to use my coping tools. May be I needed that after much stress. I have used Net-flix to help me not focus on things that may make my situation feel worse. At least I have had my meals.

Right now I'm not doing much and sweating.
im sorry about the heat try to stay cool drink lots of fluids and try to relax a little . I'm sorry about ending your friendship . Sometimes we just have to end relationship that aren't good for us

Somewhat of a busy day for me today. After breakfast, while doing dishes, I sprained myself in the mid-back section. It feels a bit sore when I move. It's happened before. I did a little workout, like I always do on Mondays. I was able to do it despite the pain.

Early in the afternoon an alarm went off in my head that, earlier this morning, I had accidentally thrown away a charging cord plug-in for my new cell phone. When I threw away a plug-in earlier this morning, I thought it came from my old phone that I don't need anymore. Fortunately I went to the store where I purchased my phone and was given a new plug-in. So that was good.
