((((((((((((((wildkitty))))))))))))))))

It seems like a bad rollercoaster ride sometimes, doesn't it? up and down, up and down

I understand the feeling, and I hope you feel better soon.

Wild Kitty, all I can tell you is that "the person you were before" is the same person who brought you where you are now...I once heard a woman in therapy say that instead of seeing her circumstances as a "breakdown" she saw them as a "breakthrough" thats the attitude that will empower you and grow you as a person! heres something else, when we clean a room we sometimes have to make a bigger mess at first in order to achieve the result, or...you can't drink grapes,you have to squish them first...It is tough...trust me I do know just how tough it is! but it's a WHOLE lot easier than living the rest of your life going around in circles. I hope that you'll find a way to hold on thru this "dark night" until the morning comes...and it will

I feel the same way, as soon as I have a good moment I get my hopes up and then when I fall again it is feels that much worse. Today I woke up feeling calm and just wonder how long it will last. My husband keeps asking me if I have PMS or am pregnant because I have such extreme ups and downs (not bipolar just radical mood swings) because he just can't understand my Depression--of course we don't really understand it either. I used to think I should not enjoy the good moments because they won't last long anyway, but today I am trying to appreciate the relief of feeling ok. Hang in there, you are not alone. J

Morning Kitty...

Hope your sleep was refreshing...

Not a bad goal,,,but how bout becoming the person you were meant to be. Shoot for the moon....

Nothing worth anything is free...even pain has its promise....

This too shall pass...one foot in front of the other...

The title reminded me of one scene from a movie called Up is Down. Which makes me think "Hey, I think I want to watch a movie." So try to find some distraction, and in the meantime try to hold on.
up and down, up and down
