Depression. It's a silent killer.

Morning. I got crap news about my back issues yesterday and just kinda turtled up in my bed and shut out the world.
I’m back at it now and will deal with it like I do everything else. It sucks but we’ll make it work.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

Sometimes it's the only thing that works for awhile.
Stay strong!

I don’t think we’ll ever get this place ready to live in. So cold this morning and I have a low fever. Crap.

Stay safe out there.
Love you.

I’ve been dealing with a heart issue the last couple days. This is what happens when you don’t take care of yourself.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

A little better today. I don’t want to immediately pass out when I stand up. Win.
Have as good a day as you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I've been well, depression-wise, and in all other aspects. I've also been a busy-bee, between work, writing, and renovating my "office", where the creative magic comes to life.

So glad to hear from you Bass.
I’m doing better. Thanks for checking in.
Hugs.

Glad to read people are feeling better. I've been feeling better, too.

I think my social needs are being met since I started working full-time this past June. I don't think of my Co-workers as "friends", but I do like them and enjoy hearing about their lives.

And "touch grass" really is good advice. People in the real world are not as mean, snarky, and judgemental as the minds behind social media would have us believe. Most people (and I mean the overwhelming majority) are just trying to get through the day.

I don't think I'll ever have a close group of girlfriends to live life with, but I'm finally ready to let desire that go. I have a wonderful family and I like my co- workers. I'll just be grateful for what I have.

Well said. I don’t think I will, either, but there is more to life than romantic/sexual relationships. Do what makes you happy with the people and hobbies you have in your life!

I’m glad that you’re doing well!

Morning. I woke up in a mood this morning and I’m so mad I’m spitting nails. The new med I’m taking for pain may take as long as 3 weeks to become effective. The pain I’m dealing with is becoming debilitating and affecting my mental health as well.

Please have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Being in pain makes even the simplest things impossible. I hope your medicine kicks in ASAP.

Hello. Seems I’ve taken over this thread and that’s not what it’s meant for.
Depression, no matter the cause, eats away at what makes us our best selves. Keeping us from feeling the joy of life and connection. It’s a killer that often leaves the body alive with a dead spirit.

Follow your relief and don’t let the demon win. Each little win makes the difference.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

You are so right... It dose eat the body alive leaving a dead spirit.

Just like to add. I knew someone personally that was very unhappy with their personal appearance. To the point where depression was deeply rooted. What saved them was talking to their physician and treatment and the final recommendation was rhinoplasty.

So my view has always been if you are unhappy with your appearance (especially physically) you might be able to address part of it. I understand it can lead a person down a rabbit hole but it might help others.

That sounds more like a self-esteem thing then depression... For me I got bi-polar depression so I cycle from being happy to sad or high energy to feeling like I can not get enough sleep...From what I understand it is a chemical thing in the brain.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Morning. Regardless of what causes depression it is valid. One is not more important than the other.
Have the best day you can. Follow your relief.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Depression is more than sadness. In fact, sadness only seems to come when it is the most severe. Normally, it’s apathy and emotional numbness, and sometimes it can be anger.

Though I’m doing much better than I was a few months ago, happiness still eludes me, and I can’t figure out why.

I hope you have something you can hold on to for when times get dark for you... Hang in there and keep going

I would like to chat about a big problem that not too many people discuss. Sorry to be a downer. But there are too many people out there who are dying because they are depressed. I suffer from depression (not sure why) but I wouldn't think of killing myself. I've always been told that is a perminant solution to a temporary problem. I think it would do a good service to discuss what has worked for you to overcome your depression or what has helped someone you know.

Hi Justadude64, I just stumbled ont his ... many moons since you posted (it). Two years ago I ent through the lowest point in my life, tried SS, failed and ended up in psychiatry for 2+ yrs

How you do nou?

I know for me self removal is not something I "normally" would think about. Tho there is days when I know I do cycle and when I am on my down swing sometimes my brain twist things and takes it to get me to look at something in the wrong way. That can point me to think about removing my self tho it is not a normal everyday though. I do know sometimes under rare conditions tho I am at risk to letting that kind of abnormal though slip into my head, and if isolated like when my area State of Texas was hit with that polar vortex that over loaded the power grid for a few weeks. The isolation along with being on a down cycle did have me think of self removal. Tho I had my dogs and I pushed threw it for them, so no mater how bad I felt I knew I needed to keep going for them...It has been 30 years from the last time I actively tried to self harm but now and then the thoughts do creep in my head tho it is rare.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Morning. I have gotten through the times I want to self harm primarily because of my need to care for my kids and my pets. The thought of my children being the ones to find me has stopped my hand.

Find and follow the relief.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
