Currently acting pretty bipolar, big surprise..I'm looking for remote work now for employment. Yest I was up and super motivated and made a great start. Today hunkered down watching Blue Bloods and playing Scrabble Go. Sometimes these days balance out. Just the stress of a job search that has been going on for too long.

It's taken me over 10 years to get out of a serious depression. I look back though and don't see a victim, I see a survivor. I've been praying lately, and it feels like there is finally some peace around very important things and people in my life. It will always be a struggle but I think I can now soon back off as a mother and let my younger take the reigns. It's unfair that my sons have to struggle much harder than I did with work to get less out of it. I'll be glad when Trudeau isn't prime minister and hopeful that things will be better in Canada. If I look at the whole worlds situation I should count my blessings every day. It's awful what is happening everywhere. I've made a few good friends in the past 2 years and that helps. I have a really good room to rent. I have plans for a future next year, and I think it will work out. I know depression well. I'm sorry for those stuck in it who cant see hope, but there is. At least strive for one small goal and add to it every day. Only do what you know you can do, otherwise you will look at it as a failure.

Hugs to all.

I am still very low, down in that depressive trough. I feel like, this time, I won't find my way up again. But I have thought that many times before, yet always I've recovered. My recoveries aren't lasting very long.

Not a good day. Yesterday I tried cleaning up my place. I showered and got out of the house. Did some shopping. It was good to get some things done, but I still felt low. So today I've done nothing. I give up too easily.

I've been crying all day. I've been very upset and no one's been able to help me. No one cares.

I got into my storage boxes of pictures. Things I haven't seen in at least 20 years.. where does the time go. Cards from mom and dad, that's what means so much. They really read them and took a long time to pick it out so it was just right for us.. little messages in them. Pics of my kids when they were so little and cute.... they are now men, handsome. Sometimes I wish I could go back and change things, especially how I tried to raise my kids, but I know I can't change it and I was doing what I could. Now my bed is covered in stuff and I don't feel like sleeping, and I didn't sleep last night. I'm hoping as it's this late, maybe the landlord is gone overnight, so I can get up without disturbing him when I can't sleep. Maybe not, I think I heard a car door shut.

Woke up feeling depressed and anxious. I'm feeling that things are wrong in my life. I guess it's because I'm a perfectionist. Being that can be devastating at times. At where I live, we're expecting an unusual storm. I hope it doesn't turn out to be bad.

No matter what good things happen - a new relationship for instance - there will always be trigers that will send you in a downard spiral. Things will never get structurally better.

The last few days have been bad for me. Depression continued. Then bad anxiety came on also. Anxiety is worse because it makes me afraid. Today I have to get out and run some errands. That might help snap me out of this somewhat.

I’m for my misunderstanding. Sounds inspirational to me.

It’s quite possible

I'm doing a lot better for about 3 days now. I need to keep pushing myself to get something significant done every day. When I do, I feel a lot better.

I cleaned this morning. Just after beginning, I threw my back out. All I did was cough and that's what caused it. I finished my cleaning but it was hard doing it with a very sore back. I felt depressed early in the morning and I would have felt better later on only if it weren't for the back hurting. Also I recently got a couple of bug bites on me on my leg. I don't know where they came from.
