Hi Star, You're right ... our issues are own. I was thinking about you and your animals as a form of patience this morning. I don't think I would have the patience to tame a wild cat .... I would feel used by the animal. Survival1120. Tell us the smallest thing that's bothering you and then work up ...

So what is working for you all? Interesting to think about "What does not suck?" I was thinking this morning about all the types of patience I need to cultivate to get by. Spent two hours trying to get an outdoor light bulb to work. Lightbulb fixture is motion detector and has three switch...

I've decided to look for old posts that reflect what I'm currently thinking. I like this post because it seems to emphasize self-empowerment. Not "Just Do It" so much as "Just Do Something ... and Watch". I love the ending of this thread because the person seems to have solved th...

We don't know if things will get better than now. I went 48 hours without internet ... and it felt like 72 :o :) . A lot of my positive energy has disappeared, I'm going to have family visiting soon and I'm worried that I'll lose my temper because "Nothing changes". That said this season I...

I've been on this site for a month now. One recurring theme with depression is "stasis". You describe this as "I live in a constant state of I don't know or I don't care", and then courageously say "I want out." I often feel the same way. The question I ask myself is &q...

Nov 14th A Year Ago

I'm thinking that I'm going to go through "Living with Depression" from a year ago and post my thoughts on posts from each day. We are beginning the holiday season. The wisest part of this thread with respect to the holiday season is: Good thing: the hell is temporary...bad thing: the brea...

scottysgirl, Look at the the thread "Sadness consumed my soul." How do you build a road from "faking it" to "genuine hugs"? The only answer I refuse to accept from myself is "I Can't". Every day there are differences in how Sad I feel, and so I try to do what ...

Blue Eyed, I wrote the above for two reasons ... 50/50. Selfishly it helped me to vent. Unselfishly I hope that it gives you a way to frame your boyfriend's behavior a little positively. I have no idea what he might really be thinking. For me, though, sometimes I get in a place where I don't do the ...

I agree with Ieris about the questions, but maybe not about focus. Let me put this in terms of what I'm dealing with ... maybe, if you reflect on advice you would give me, you will gain insight into What is best for you. I think my family has a propensity to ODD. An example would be the last time my...

Doogie, Let me recommend a favorite movie that I know you've seen ... Shane. I love the quantum state of "Shane! Come back!" ... no matter what there is never a happy ending ... just good times and bad. "Doogie! Come back. (when you can brother :lol: )" It's been a pleasure readi...

Depression seems to feed on "negative cycles". Ask yourself how you can turn the sentence: "but he has been good to me so far and financially supports me (which I am not very happy about)" into an opportunity? Think about the sentence: " I am in the prison of our apartment,&...

Hey, I read this: "But anyway, the truth about me getting into "tweakers" and / or other potential bad guys faces, is that I've just been getting really wreckless with stuff like this. With my driving too. " As reading that part of you wants to change. When you wrote "You sa...
