Feeling lonely and depressed. I've been in bed most of the day. I haven't talked to my online friends this weekend. I've been too depressed.

I'm returning to therapy with a new T after months away from it. I am hopeful that this time therapy will be more helpful but my expectations are low. At least, it will be useful to talk to someone instead of keeping it all in myself.

I'm new here. Just checking in. I've had depression since I was a teen, now 43. It landed me in the hospital a few times, but meds have it somewhat under control for the most part. I still have those days where I get depressed, but not as bad. I hope to get to know folks here.

This is great news. I know what you mean though about having low expectations of therapy. I think it’s maybe “safer” that way

I think, provided the therapist has basic respect and an ability to listen, it’s definitely useful to talk to someone instead of keeping it all in self

I’m sending hugs to anyone who needs or wants a hug

I woke up this morning feeling very depressed. Realizing that I only have one family member and one friend; and the both of them seem of sub-standard quality to me. My sister had called me on Sunday while I was out. She said that she was going to call back. She never did. And I had called her, but only left a message. This happens a lot with her as she either doesn't call back, falls asleep on me when I talk to her, or abruptly hangs up on me when her husband needs her to do something for him. And my friend, he has limits physically but also very critical and nit picky lots of times.

Things are going OK at work. Very slow every day practically. It makes the time go by slow and gives me time to think about myself, which that can get me into emotional trouble. But I'm thankful for the job I have.

It's this coming Saturday when I go on my trip. It will be about 1500 miles from home and going to a place I've never been to before. When I planned that trip, I was all excited. And after that I have some feelings of remorse. Am I out of my mind to do this? At least I got some comfort from other people. Some of them have done the same thing that I'm going to do; travel a fairly long distance away from home alone.

Distraught over what people have done to me. There is NO EXCUSE for it. How they live with themselves I'll never know. Will never understand. How am I supposed to live with what they've done to me?? WHY??? WHY TAKE SO MUCH AWAY FROM ME....WHY DID THEY DO IT???

I need to stop wallowing in self pity over my physical condition. It’s not like it is a permanent injury. I can still do simple activities and I should be actively reaching out to people rather than expecting them to check in on me.

Yes have sad times sometimes and sometimes do ok. Need counseling and yet apprehensive to go and yet willing to go. Need more sleep usually. Get some depressed thoughts sometimes and try to carry on and work, but hard to concentrate. It’s there in the background, the past bad experiences with bullying types at school, at work, moving around a lot as a kid and as an adult. It’s difficult yet interesting and educational to move around to different states and different countries.

This is getting to be too much for me. My bf can't sleep. He is restless and can't settle down. Nothing pleases him. Now I can't sleep.

[Smileonmyface]

I went to the hospital last night. Thank goodness they let me come home. I never want to do that again.

[Fuzzybear]

Here...

[Rose76]

I'm not doing real well.

[Yzen]

have another headache today but somehow survived work with it

[SlumberKitty]

Feel more depressed today than I have been. Unfortunately.

[Fuzzybear]

I’m sending love and hugs to all

I am feeling okay.

this morning was a bit stressfull/ overwelming, but yeah... I'm doing okay

just listening to music and trying not to think about it

I've decided to escape this lifestyle that I have. No one around me is happy at all, and I just know that. Sometimes they treat me like I'm the only thing that can be in their lives that can help them be happy, and sometimes they treat me like I'm worthless. I don't know what strikes up this dichotomy because I'm barely happy myself and I'm totally just coming around to the idea that I'm not actually worthless.

Unless I take the time to save up some money, I'm never getting anywhere. I could have some, I just am sort of lazy about it.

I had the first appointment with my new T (after months away from therapy). I was so worried about meeting with her that I was shaking in the waiting room. I like her! I am looking forward to continuing to work with her.
Maybe this will be good?
