CONGRATULATION! Hope your extra sleep helped!

So it is for many of us. Wish you a good night's sleep the next night.

Today was a better day than yesterday. I was busier today and was moving pretty constant.

I'm still having a bad time with depression. This has been a long episode. More like two episodes, back to back.

I do okay in between episodes, during which time I'm a pretty happy camper. This tailspin has just gone on way too long. It's taking too much out of me.

[Rosi700]

I met all my goals today, feel satisfied, but tired!

Today was a little bit more busy than yesterday. At 6 AM I went to do the laundry and the machines were already taken. I always do my laundry around 6 AM every Thursday. That's usually a good time for me to do it because no one else would be doing it at that time. But on occasions, like this morning, someone else had beaten me to it. I find it frustrating when that happens because it puts me behind with my day. But it didn't turn out bad. 99% of the time when I go to the laundry room, no one else is using it which makes it nice for me.

After doing the laundry I went to the bike shop to have some minor work done. And did a little bit of shopping after that. Today has been a weird day as far as the weather goes because it's been extremely windy.

Also I have not heard anything about my neighbor who was taken to the hospital last Monday night. I hope she's OK because I've always liked her.

[Rose76]

Still sad. I hope I can stop being sad before too much longer.

I mostly stay in front of the TV. It feels less lonesome there. I listen to the talking heads on the news channels. The news is quite sad. I better find something more uplifting to do.

[Breaking Dawn]

Sadness for me, too. Maybe a cup of coffee will help.

Today a visit to the dentist was on my program. I did my ordinary morning program (physical and psychological exercises + repeating topics from my psychological tool-box). I had a trip around my City's center and bought different things.

Later in the day, I have enjoyed myself with a book at the sofa. That's me, relaxing with a book about societies. I have partly enjoyed the day!

To enjoy my day, does not mean that I don't see the future difficulties ahead. It will be difficult, but I will go for it. I have no other choice. The other choice would mean to sit back and let the depression evolve until it ends in suicide. This is the logical conclusion of choosing the other way. I have been depressed for four weeks,now, and I want out of it (even if I understand that that will not be easy) ...

Tomorrow I have planned to skip my routines and do work in the home after that and go and buy groceries for the coming week.

Since I will stay out of this forum in the Weekend: Hope everybody has a so good weekend as possible with your different conditions!

That is amazing

[Buffy01]

My sister tells me that she has never noticed me being unhappy that is because she has always ignored me and I am good at hiding my feelings from people.

I just finished breakfast and getting ready for the day in cleaning. For some strange reason, the couple of hours I do in cleaning seems to be my favorite time of the week.

Last night was weird as my friend was telling me that he thinks that there's a problem with my phone. He said that my voice sounds like it's popping when I talk. Gee wiz, I just bought that phone two weeks ago! And then a show I wanted to see last night didn't come on, so that sucked. I hope today will be a better day.

@Buffy01, I'm so sorry for the way your family treats you. That makes me feel sad.

I was talking on the phone with my college friend this morning. He said that nothing sounded wrong with my phone, so that made me feel better. Plus we had a good talk.

I finished cleaning this morning. I feel good while doing it and after it's done when my place looks cleaner. Nothing much after this.

[Breaking Dawn]

Today keeps changing. I start to feel better, then I cry, even get mad, then sad again, then start to feel a little bit better, etc.

[Deilla]

Today's been very hard. My emotions have been everywhere. I've done a lot of crying today.

Glad to hear that.

I believe you and understand how you are feeling

[VagabondD]

I am stable today, but have retreated a bit into my cave. My wife is away in her addiction and this latest run of hers has had a strong mental, physical, and financial toll on me. I'm looking forward to a moment of peace when she comes home and is safe.

[Deilla]

Today is better for me.

I believe you (about being good at hiding emotions).
Hope things will become better for you some way or other!
