I keep playing phone tag with the ICBC claims adjuster due to my schedule; I work at night and sleep during the day. I hope to eventually connect with her, but it may take some time. I've been working on my novel some, and it seems like I might be able to make some serious progress over the remainder of the year. That may be wishful thinking, though. It's the long weekend, and I need to make proper use of this or else I'll regret it.

I wish that my family would stop putting me down that triggers me to feel depressed

I never got to sleep, until after the sun came up today. I'll try to get a few more winks now. Then I have cooking and housework to do. I started to pull out of my funk yesterday. I have to pull out more.

Up in the middle of the night again.

Haven't been up for long but I'm feeling neutral so far.

[Albatross2008]

Not real well. Hanging in but barely.

[tornoversurgery]

A bit down today, recent occurrences have worn on me.

[Rose76]

My days and nights got reversed. I'm getting little done. This is depressing.

[Samicat]

Okay. Worked out today. Bought some organic raw honey as I read (and confirmed in a few sources) that 1 teaspoon half an hour before bed can help you sleep through the night. So it's worth a try I think.

I was having such a great day until around four this afternoon and then my mood went downhill so fast it's not funny.

I've felt like crying since then - to the point where not even Drew is helping much.

I feel emotionally drained from my emotions

I have accomplished a bit of writing today. I had a bit of a breakthrough overnight while I was at work, and I've restarted work in earnest. I don't know how long this breakthrough will sustain me, but I'll make good use of it while I can. When I'm making progress in my writing, I have at least some small hope for the future, and I can keep going in life generally. But when I'm stuck, I feel hopeless, and everything else just falls apart.

I seem to be okay today. Could do with more coffee though.

[Albatross2008]

Gradually hanging in less and less. Not well at all.

[Albatross2008]

I keep sending out calls for help, and nobody’s responding. Just now I told my husband that the reason I am sleeping so much is I’m hoping not to wake up. He didn’t even ask me about it. Just said “I love you” like that was going to solve everything, and moved on. I’m not eating either. And I haven’t been taking my meds because I don’t care about myself.

[Rose76]

I'm down pretty far. Nothing bad happened. I'm not sad about anything. But I have no energy.

Already I'm thinking I won't even feel like putting my tree up for Christmas.

[hiddenaway]

Today my anxiety is so bad that I can't even use safe bathrooms (like the ones at my parents' house).

I'm not sure what triggered it, either, but thankfully this doesn't happen too often.

[Rose76]

I have felt pretty miserable for a couple of days now. Just depressed. I had been doing so good for quite a while. Then the wheels came off. Now I can't hardly move.

I know from experience that depression blows over for me. I just got to get through this current episode. Just lying around, waiting for this to blow over, might not be the smartest thing to do. But I don't want to do anything else. Need to push myself.

[Albatross2008]

I'm a wreck.

I've been playing phone tag with the ICBC claims adjuster for a week or so now. On her most recent message, she advised me that the other driver has been found at fault for the accident, which is a huge relief. I will wait until I get it in writing to fully relax, however. I'll try and call her again in the morning on Monday. I tried to call her today but she didn't answer.

Today I've been catching up on my sleep, which is something I really needed but didn't realize.

[Rose76]

Since midnight, I've been doing laundry. It has helped me feel much less bad about myself. So it's after 3 a.m. I wish I had a normal circadium rhythm. It would be nice to get chores done in the daytime and sleep at night like a normal human being.

Today I'm working on a game on my Switch.

I did my cleaning today. Before the cleaning, I decided to give my sister a call. It went alright but we didn't have much news to exchange with each other.

I was feeling pretty good today but then I got a message from a long-distance friend and then he told me that he will be with family on Thanksgiving. That's why I hate the holidays. Being alone and being reminded that people will be with family and I won't be.
