The Battle

I'm having a battle with depression right now. It's been going on for the last week. It's so tiring.
I feel like I want to cry all the time. And I have to talk myself out of it. I can't go back to bed. I have to live my life and perform all of my duties and function as well as I can but it's just hard. Anyway, blah, blah, blah....poor me....wah, wah! This too shall pass but it's just hard when I'm in one of my cycles. Thanks for listening.

Comments:
I'm right there with you. In fact, I'm sitting at the computer with that big sweater-blanket wrapped around me. I can't get myself to do my readings, or teach well (today's class SUCKED), or any of the other things that I should be doing. I don't even want to go home on Thursday, which is absolutely crazy 'cause I'm going to be with so many people that I love and miss so much. But I just don't feel like I can face them right now.
 
Well, HELL. We should just start a club called "The Depressed Divas"

I am so there with you all.

You all know my life right now and I know yours and we are all going through a bunch of ickiness.

It's fall. That can always be a bit glum. AND THE HORMONES ARE NOT HELPING.

Grrr.

I hope we can all buck up soon and pull it together, cause I feel lousy and I'm sure you do too.

Feel free to come hang with chocolate and lame movies.

Better yet, we should see if there is any way to do a three way chat...how fun would that be????

Hugs.
 
I love you guys and I sure understand. It does help to go out and face things. I did have a gig last night, and it was like climbing Mt. Everest to get there, but once there it was good to be with people. I had a few laughs and I sang which is always therapy.

Erin - I don't know what all of your challenges are but I sure know how hard it is to be depressed. Remember, you DON'T have to share anything that you don't want to share with anybody back home. I tend to lock myself away when I'm like this, cause I think I'm a burden and a drag, and all of the people who love me told me that they still want to talk to me and be with me. They love me no matter what. Just stay cozy and yummy today. Do what you need to do to get through the day. I send you a big hug from one "depresso" to another.

LL, if only Erin and I could come to your house for movies, diet coke and chocolate and just escape.
And the lamer the movie, the better. Sigh! It sounds so wonderful. I know we'll all make it through this phase. I know I always do. It's just so "effed" up when I'm in the actual cycle. I HATE IT! I would love to have a 3 way chat but I don't think my MSN is working. I sent you a message last night...did you get it? Alex MSN's keep coming back to me and he says that I keep hanging up on him. But I digress,
an MSN 3-way would be awesome. Meeting up and bar-hopping in Minneapolis, as Erin suggested to you over at MM's place, would be fun! I, also, send you a big "depresso" hug from me....
 
is weed a drug?
 
Hell, yeah. Although I do not partake....weed is definately medicinal, Roper!

Sharon, I didn't know about my depression until my early 30's. I, like you, thought that there was something COMPLETELY wrong with me. It actually helps to have the diagnosis. You don't feel so alone. Prozac helped me get through some really tough times. I've been off of it awhile and I seem to be okay. I just have to use the tools that I got from counseling to get me through the cycles......
 
That's cause you haven't gotten your regular dose of Alex on MSN.

I'll figure out the problem, and we'll both feel better.
 
I think that's it, Alex! :D
