My depression really bites right now. It's like a black hole sucking me in.

It's so long since I've felt normal. I'm going to look through my old posts to try to find one where I say that I'm doing good. I just want some evidence that I have had the capacity to be ok. I'm sure there were times when I was fine. I just have to get back to that.
The plumber has to come back Monday to finish work on the water heater. So my kitchen won't go back to normal, until then. Anxiety is making me crazy. |

Anxiety on top of depression is miserable - like there's a faceless monster hovering over my head that I just can't get away from.
I'm being referred to a pdoc. I saw him 4 years ago and didn't like him. I'll see him again, only because I'm desperate. |

I just finished cleaning. It took me less time because I didn't get the mop handle that I've been waiting for. I cleaned the floors that I normally use the mops for. It wasn't the same and doesn't look as good as before. That got me down.
My friend and I argued on the phone last night and it seemed insipid to me . He's fully recovered from the side effects from the surgery now. You might say it's ironic that, since he's feeling much better, he has become more argumentative than when he wasn't feeling well. He seemed much nicer when he wasn't feeling well than now. So that got me depressed. I'm feeling depressed because of the arguing, not getting my mop handle, and the cold & rain outside that's been constant |

I've completed a first chapter of a first draft of a novel. It's a young adult novel I've had in the back of my mind for some time now. I'll keep working on it and I hope I can finish a complete first draft within 3 or 4 months. It will take me a minimum of 1 year to complete this project fully. I hope I can stay committed and work through doubts. |

I am new, so Hello.
I am feeling severely anxious and depressed lately. It does vary throughout the day, with the worst time being nights when I get tired. I am over-sleeping and tried Abilify which worked for me before, but I had to come off it because I was hardly sleeping at all and extremely anxious. I am on some other meds. A lot of stress in the past year. Debt, moving. I lost my psychiatrist of 13 years when she retired early. I really miss her. I've had a lot of illness as well. I have a good relationship with my husband but that can be stressful too as he is disabled. This is NOT a good time of year for me as I'm tired of winter and snow and rain and general darkness. I've tried a daylight lamp but it didn't help me. I think my dislike of this time of year has more to do with it being less appealing to spend time outside. Also it seems like everyone is tired and sick of winter. I'm 54 and currently on medical leave from work and trying to rebuild my physical and mental health. Once I am cleared to work, I plan to quit and seek work elsewhere because the job is toxic. |

Hey there. I write too I mostly write SF&F and have published short stories for money (although not much!). Am currently 7 chapters into a novel. Previously wrote a vampire novel but no publishers are looking at them thanks to the post-Twilight glut. Anyway good luck. It's rewarding yet lonely at times. Do you have a writing group? |

Today was better than my days have been recently. Part of that was because I got a refill on my Vicodin (hydrocodone and Tylenol.) I had used up last month's supply before the month was over. When I go 3 days without a tablet, I start to withdraw. For me, that means the onset of "restless leg syndrome" or what could be called akathesia. It's maddening.
I started tidying up my place, which always makes me feel better. There are still boxes of Christmas stuff piled up in the livingroom. I believe now that I can get the chaos organized. I've regained some faith in me. |
