My Christmas was nice. I did a lot of housework but I made it fun. I did a ton of work on my bedroom. I was happy to have that space organized. I also played with my cats. They had new toys. So it was nice. Thanks for asking!

Today I will do more housework. And then I will try to relax with a book or movie. Hope everyone is well today!

My Christmas was alright as was my New Year's. I pretty much just relaxed at home.

I am feeling very tired today. I also had a short panic attack at one point. So not the best day but it wasn't the worst day either.

My new years was uneventful. I'm glad it's over with. Too stressful to be all alone on a holiday. I'm ready to get back to a normal routine. It's funny... people sent out texts and well wishes for New years and that's the last I heard from anyone. Just makes the loneliness worse. My sister J doesn't text me anymore. Oh well, I have a new message for myself. "Expect nothing. You won't be disappointed."

I had a rough night yesterday. I got angry and accidentally took it out on my mom who then lectured me. I do feel bad I took it out on her and will try not to do that in the future but her lecture really made me feel 1,000 times worse. I suppose I got what I deserved though. Oh well, today is a new day to do better.

I've felt pretty good today. I've been busy organizing and creating a junk/donation pile. I find that I'm running out of stuff to give away. I did find a collector's item that sells for an amazing price. I think I will put that on eBay. Just need to get a box for it.

I have been a rollercoaster of emotion - up, down, up and then down again. I feel like I can't break this cycle. The holidays were hard for me because me and my sister aren't talking, and my boyfriend is away in rehab. I think it's all piling up on me and I feel like I might break.

here is my first check in of 2020.

and I have to say, the ddepression is stronger than ever

new year's eve was spent sat in my room thinking about what a mess the past 12 months have been (so like every year), and every day since, I have just been hoping, and praying, for

Possible trigger:

the end

simply put, I am just as depressed as last year (possibly more), and their's no way out- not that I can see anyway

I love how I'm asked: so what do you want from 2020

and my answer is nothing

that is how it is

Deilla · Jan 07, 2020, 05:39 AM

@raging vortex, I'm so sorry you're hurting. I hope things get better for you. Hang in there. Do you have a therapist you can talk to? Do you think it a good idea to call your pdoc? I can relate. I have felt the same way just recently. I talked with my online T about it. It really helped me. And there are books on Amazon that are helpful too. Sending good thoughts your way.

Deilla · Jan 07, 2020, 05:47 AM

Today I am fine. I'm not sure if I got enough sleep last night. I guess if I'm tired later, I'll just take a long nap. Hope everyone is doing well.

Jan 07, 2020, 08:16 PM

My motto right now for 2020 is: "Just focus on what you can control, Blanche." There's so much out of my control. But, if I distract myself with what I can't control, that will detract me from focusing on the tangibles that I can control.

My depression is situational. My anxiety is biological and situational. My mindset is: "Don't panic. Ok, panic a little. Now go focus on a,b,c, and d..."

88Butterfly88 · Jan 08, 2020, 01:38 PM

@raging vortex and everyone struggling- I'm sorry to hear you are having a rough time.

I'm doing alright. I've been using some dating sites but haven't met anyone decent yet but I'm trying to stay hopeful.

Deilla · Jan 08, 2020, 03:15 PM

I'm not feeling well today. I'm tired and I'm dizzy. I'm almost nauseous. But my blood sugar is fine. I see my GP tomorrow. Maybe she can run some tests.

impatiently awaiting the arrival of "aunt flo" lol Hey! if I can't post it here without shame, where can I??

Deilla · Jan 10, 2020, 12:37 AM

I saw my GP yesterday. It was a very stressful day. I was depressed and upset almost all day long. But important thing is that I got my appointment out of the way. My GP thinks I just need to take benadryl for sinuses. So I'll give it a try. Today I will try to have a brighter day. I will isolate. I'm finding that when I try to socialize, I just get hurt. So I'm going to withdraw.

Hope everyone has a good Friday!

Sorry you're in pain. I hope your Friday gets better. And may you have a nice weekend as well.

88Butterfly88 · Jan 16, 2020, 08:03 PM

I've been okay. I am attempting online dating but has been beyond terrible which is kind of depressing. Otherwise I'm alright.

Deilla · Jan 17, 2020, 09:36 PM

I am home from the hospital. I've been relaxing with games and food.

88Butterfly88 · Jan 18, 2020, 07:07 PM

@Deilla I'm glad you are home. How are you feeling? Games and food sound nice.

My day was pretty good. I spent a good amount of time today talking to some friends which was nice.

Deilla · Jan 18, 2020, 07:25 PM

@88Butterfly88, thank you! I feel Okay today. I've been keeping myself busy. I did an online puzzle today. It was relaxing. And any time I started ruminating, I applied a new skill I learned in the hospital.

88Butterfly88 · Jan 18, 2020, 07:43 PM

@Deilla I'm glad you are keeping yourself busy and that you learned a new skill.

I'm upset that my TSH levels are so low. The roller coaster of rotating doses between 112 to 125 puts me on edge because of the longterm impact on my heart and lungs and digestive system etc. Well, my whole body suffers. My levels are so low today, my endo wants to increase me to 125 again but I told him I wouldn't do it unless I could rotate the doses every other day. I wish I had never started thyroid hormone.

Deilla · Jan 22, 2020, 02:01 AM

I'm doing Okay. Had to deal with a stressful situation yesterday. Hoping for a better day today. I hope everyone is well!
