Depression. It's a silent killer.

Glad it’s lessening but a 6 is still pretty bad, kitty.

Hope it’s less than that today.

Does stretching help at all?

Thank you for your caring words.

Stretching helps a little as does walking. I pace in the morning until the pain is manageable. Motion is Lotion as a friend once told me.

Physical pain back up to a seven today. Just when I think I’ve got it figured out I aggravate it again. Ugh.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

The days are blending into each other. It just shows that the demons follow you no matter where you go. Even to the beach.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

Has your back pain lessened over the week?
Also, have you had the MRI done?

Yes, I still read this forum.

Yes, I still read this forum.

MRI is scheduled for early next month. The pain depends on the amount of movement and the amount of lying down. If I’m constantly moving the pain is manageable but a body has to sleep sometimes. It’s the morning pain that’s the worst. It was a 9 this morning and moving around in that much pain is exhausting making me want to lie down. Lol.

Being at the beach is one of my favorite things.

You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Unless you've been there you have no fucking idea, and to post on a forum with complete idiocy is not just being ignorant but dangerous to certain people. Apologize and SHUT UP!!

That post was in ‘19. A few years before I took it over.
Thank you for supporting learning about depression.

Something’s shifting. I’m not feeling as on edge as I have the last couple weeks. Now to figure out what it is that’s shifted and help it along further.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

A vicious cycle.
Will keep an eye on this forum to see how the MRI goes.

Being kind to ourselves is the true kindness

 

[Blondie420]

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.

I had personal first hand experience with this. Still recovering from PTSD but I had myself committed last year because I just could not see a solution. The pain and the hopelessness was just so much I wanted it to end somehow, even it meant ending well… me, entirely.

I had great team of healcare workers, friends and a partner who supported me through this time.

Depression is NOT just feeling down or being sad, it is in fact a condition that can be crippling and it’s horrible to go through it.

What helped me the most was having a robust safe network, getting proper treatment and being patient with myself and my sorrow. But especially just focusing on something every day to be patient or kind to myself.

Every day acts of kindness towards yourself can really make a difference

 

[Wetkitty09]

Self kindness and understanding is so very important. So often we put ourselves last before others and don’t want to seem a burden. We deserve to feel how we feel and to understand that it’s ok. Giving kindness to ourselves helps pull us up out of the pit.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

Hello, all! I was just woken up by my acid reflux again today. I'm going to start my SAD lamp therapy soon. I hope that everyone is doing well.
