__________________________________________

Now by no means is this a complete list of feelings. And your more than welcome to add to this list as you see fit. Just thought it would be helpful to some when we cant figure out just what it is we are feeling.

I attained this list from a site I used to go to a long time ago. And while going thru some things I had printed out off the site for my own use, I came accross this today. Hope its useful to you too!!

Thanks for the positive responses! I know when my depression is flaring its ugly head the most. I cant think of words at all to express myself right. So if it helps just one person to express themselves, i think that is great.

Jinny i saw that santa and couldnt help it.. had to put him somewhere where he could cheer others up!! LOL. I know I giggle alot when I see him!! hahhahaa
