Depression. It's a silent killer.

Morning. Today is my son’s birthday. He’s 29. It amazes me. I’m thankful everyday that I can be in his life.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

I scratched up the side of my husband's truck and now he's furious. I'm the one who messed up, so I just have to sit in the bad feelings and take it.

On a lighter note, I'm going to have a lot of alone time this weekend and I'm very excited to work on my hobbies.

Hope all of you are hanging in. You're more than your mistakes.

And slow it’s like tightening the noose just a little bit each day and I feel it I know I have to stop it but just say fuck it and slip further and further

Don't give in to it, it's hell getting out of the rut, but once you do, you'll see nothing can keep you down always.

Hang in there brother. I know it sounds and maybe feels corny saying that.

But sometimes just getting thru a tough moment or another day, can give different perspective.

Try to keep the faith.

Yes, take it one day at a time. There's a little warrior inside you that will fight on your behalf, even when you yourself don't feel like it!

Some of us are to stupid to give up. After while you wander thru the days in a mindless, numb shuffle.

 

[Wetkitty09]

There are some days where the only thing that matters is the comfort of my pets. They’re what get me through the day.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

I have an 11 year old Chihuahua that I've been happy to love since he was 5 weeks old!!
He's funny because he's supposed to be my legal esa, but hates being held... But he's sweet and maybe has his own issues.
LoL..

Ah, Valentine's Day, a day that has always stirred mixed emotions within me, none of them positive. For years, I was lying to myself, feeling that I had no anger or resentment for my past. But I was wrong, I'm very pissed off. I went into work this morning really angry and not wanting to speak to anyone. I even wore a shirt that says "Leave Me Alone" on it just to send a message.

Yet, things happened today that quelled the rage in my heart. Finding out that we're all getting a raise next week was a nice start, then my supervisor bought coffee for everyone in my department as a "Valentine's Day gift" for all of us. Also, my coworkers were quite friendly today. I didn't get emotional or anything, but these gestures were enough to make me see clearly through the anger. Acts of kindness help more than you could possibly know, someone out there needs whatever kind act you are thinking about doing!

While I do think it's important to acknowledge my anger and also feel it, I want to use it in a productive way. I will find a way to turn this "pain into strength"!

On a side note, I need to post some pics of my kitty sometime. I take some hilarious pictures of that furry little freeloader.

I get that I have had 3 people invite me somewhere this weekend I made up excuses why I couldn’t make it and will spend the weekend in my bedroom wrapped up in the sadness like a weighted blanket!!

Don't know how weather is, but even a nice walk would help some I think.

Today is the anniversary of my mom’s passing and it’s my dad’s birthday. I tried to do something useful today but I ended up on the couch with my dog. Today sucks.

Maybe you channel your anger into your writing somehow? I think that would a productive way to use it.

Decided to take myself out for dinner and a beer yesterday. Had a pleasant conversation with the person who sat next to me at the bar.
I am alone often but I am rarely lonely.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

I have never minded earring alone. I usually go to breakfast on Saturday mornings alone.

I have been in a room full of people and still feel lonely and have I set in a dark room alone and didn’t feel lonely. It’s a mindset not a headcount at least it is for me

I was thinking the same thing. Channel my energy into creativity.

On the topic of loneliness, I too feel more lonely when I'm around others. I often feel like a stranger no matter where I go and even feel as though I don't belong in the world. But when I'm alone, and not depressed, I recharge and thrive.

A lot of us regulars on this thread seem to be introverts. Introversion does not mean "shy", as society would have everyone believe. It simply means that being around others drains us while being alone recharges us. Some of us will talk the ears off of anyone who is willing to listen, and then we'll need some alone time to recover.
