Depression Understood Forums

Interesting. The 2nd line of your list,
a good friend defends you against someone
who tries to take advantage of you, reminds me of when I did exactly
that on this forum. Yet I was chastised and ostrasized.
How hypocritical.

I hope you had a good Christmas. Mine was ok. Not the best and not the worst. Glad it's over with all the pressure and weirdness. On Christmas eve I baked cookies and cleaned my kitchen floor, and washed my sheets, so that really feels good. Now I just want this year to be over so that the new year ...

Hi Mich and Shattered and everyone,
Just a note to thank you for your posts, support and kind words.
We have to hang on and soon it will be over.
Be strong.

wow Ken. Thank you for that. Sweet dreams now.

Thanks everyone! I still can't get motivated. I'm hoping one of these days I'll just snap out of it. I wake up with good intentions but then I just can't make anything happen. I did go shopping with my daughter yesterday, and that was nice, plus it wasn't too crowded - I think everybody is broke and...

Hi Ken, Thanks for your good wishes. I go up and down, sometimes many times in one day. I don't want to give the wrong impression. I do manage to keep my bathroom and kitchen clean, but vacuuming and dusting have been ignored for a long time. Mail and things tend to pile up and it all gets a bit ove...

I don't even know where to begin. Just felt like I needed to express myself. I have not been out of my house in days. I am hiding from everyone and everything. My daughter has called a couple of times to get me to help her buy a gift for her father, but I can't face the crowds, or her, for that matt...

Hey Mich and Everyone, Here's to all of us always doing the best we can, fighting the good fight, being here for our loved ones and for our dear friends on this forum. Mich I am sending you strength. You can do it. You can get through and your family will be so happy to have you with them. Stay stro...

Hi Mich,
Hope you are doing ok.
Keep hanging on.
I hope you can get some rest and feel good.

I'm sorry Ken. I'm sure your grandfather loved you and enjoyed the times he saw you when he was in your town. It is an awful, terrible thing that nobody in your family informed you of his funeral, but that is their karma, not yours. I understand when the bad memories come flooding back - it happens ...

Hi Everyone, No Worries - I didn't think you were mad. Just keeping my posts short I guess. I have a theory about depression, mental illness and water signs is all. Sometimes I think that more sensitive people pick up on underlying energies and are severely affected. I have 5 planets in Scorpio myse...

I was just curious because water signs are said to be gifted with psychic
abilities and are therefore very sensitive. I wasn't implying that any
sign or any one is bad.

Hi Mich, It sounds to me like you are doing the best you can. I'm proud of you for getting your kids to school and getting to your doctor's appointment. The pain related to gift giving for you is so, so sad to me. Maybe try not to assume reactions based on your past. I know it isn't easy. I do not s...

Dear Ken, You are a brave warrior. Don't ever doubt that. You prove it every day. I hope you are ok. I notice you haven't posted in a while. I'm concerned about many people on here, but I can't get the energy to keep posting. This is such a weird time of year. What a long, strange trip this life is ...

Thank you Ken, and everyone!
Peace.
