Depression. It's a silent killer.

[Wetkitty09]

The day started without me this morning. I’m already running late.
I hope your day goes well.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Hello! I couldn't fall asleep until around 6:30am. I woke up to my alarm at 2pm. I fed the baby bird and now I'm doing my SAD lamp therapy. I hope it helps my energy levels and keeps my seasonal depression at bay. Ciao!

I am always very conscious of when the sun rises and sets.

Tonght at work, I noticed that the sunlight was quite a bit brighter at 5pm than it has been in sometime. It’s a month since the shortest day of the year and we can notice more sunlight in the evenings.

It’s about a minute a day longer each day right now.

I went thru a hellish November and December w depression, anxiety and ptsd dreams. January started badly, but in the last few weeks, things seem to be leveling down a bit… fingers crossed.

Morning. I’ve also been noticing the increase in length of the day. Living this far north in the US you really see the changes in the movement of the sun. It gives me a little thrill to see it still lite after 5pm. Lol.

Hope you’re having the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

I spent nearly the whole day in bed yesterday. It was a purposeful lazy day. I’m feeling much more refreshed today and ready to start the grind again.
Taking care of myself is a big part of keeping my depression away.
The way things are going on in the world right now is enough to make me want to hide in my blanket fort and not come out.
Don’t let the bastards beat you down.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

The cold weather has driven me to a friends place for the weekend. My living situation doesn’t allow for 15 degree overnight temperatures.
Please, all who are affected by this cold storm, and everyone else, be safe and warm.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Morning. 6 degrees at home this morning and 16 where I’m staying the weekend. I hope you’re safe and warm where you are. I’m thankful for the friends that let me stay with them during this cold spell.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

Be safe, breathe through it.

 

[forgotmyantidepressants]

Stay safe out there everyone.

How is everyone doing today? I did 45 minutes of SAD light therapy this morning. It's a sunny and freezing cold day here. We are supposed to get a huge snow storm tomorrow (Sunday).

 

[Wetkitty09]

Sunday morning. I’m making cinnamon rolls for my friends. Fingers crossed they turn out. Lol.
Where I’m at will avoid most of the storms but it’s so cold.
Be safe and warm out there.
Love you.

I feel my depression is trying to overtake my happiness.
I'm kinda new at trying to manage my BPD, but I'm also bipolar so if it's chemistry in my brain causing the depression to sneak up, it's can just stay dormant!!

 

[Wetkitty09]

Monday. Ugh. Back to the real world for me. I know most everyone else is already there but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Hope you have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Hanging out with my grandson. So much energy. It’s fun to be around for a little while anyway.

Hope your day goes smoothly.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

My pain level is up again. It shows how much the mattress you sleep on affects your body. The bed at the place I’m pet sitting is like a rock and that’s not good for my ticky hips.

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

Injured my leg a few weeks ago, very slow to heal because I take Plavix for my heart, so other internal injuries linger. And it has been unseasonably cold in the Houston area. Usually playing golf helps me fight off depression but that has been closed out to me recently. So having some sad episodes. Managing, but I sympathize with those who are also cold-bound indoors. On the other hand, have been able to catch up on old Star Trek episodes, so that helps. Best to all...

2025 was a tough year for numerous reasons. I'm at a better place now, and hope 2026 will be a better year.
I follow this forum when I'm here, and would like to offer a listening ear if you need to talk off-forum - probably best to send me a message here first, and we'll go from there. (This to deter unnecessary PMs).
Well wishes to all who read this!

Had a rough night last night and had to take an extra of the dreaded pain medication. I’m moving slow and the day is getting ahead of me. Ugh.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

You be safe, too, my friend.

 

[Wetkitty09]

My life is taking a new and interesting direction. I’ll keep you posted.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Oh the crap that surfaces when your relationship changes. It’s all issues that need to be dealt with before we can move on as a unit.
Wish me luck that I don’t fuck it up. Though if I do, I’ll be ok.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Whirlwind of abandonment issues as well as body and age insecurities. Fuck! What a weekend. I have to deal with them now because I couldn’t deal with them when they were fresh. I have support thankfully.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

From emotional whirlwind to watching a partner’s trusted community evaporate overnight. It’s been a week last weekend.

Hope you’re doing well.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Morning. Yesterday was a day of rest for me and I needed every minute. Sleep is such a needful thing. I remember when I went days on a few hours cat nap.
Not anymore. Lol.

Hope your day is going smoothly.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Sorry to hear that. Trust takes a lifetime to build.

And yeah, corny and trite, but a moment to destroy, regardless of how it happens.
