Unexpectedly nauseous. The store brand of Pepto doesn't seem to be helping.

My attempt to taper off my medication has left me with worsening depression.

Laughing today at my cats. My little instigator tore a hole in my big cat's food bag. He's on a diet. No wonder he quit begging for food. He was having free feedings. How can I be in a bad mood. Lol!

I'm really dragging. Sleepy now and going back to bed. I have to get my bf into a nursing home for a week or two. The VA will pay for it. This option is there and I've been encouraged for a few years to use it. Finally I shall for the first time. I have to get off this treadmill.

Hi, I've been through that recently. Just wanted to say it does get better if you want to get off of them. I just found they don't work for me after a while, so I've given up with them. Maybe someday I'll try again but I don't think so. I wish you the best whatever you choose to do.


I'm doing ok I guess, yesterday though I started to feel like life was so meaningless. I try to think of things that would make me feel better but it all seems so unsatisfying. I think of taking a leap and going back to work as a hairstylist, but I see the trends and remember the fussy women and the gossip and the having to pretend to be in a nice mood when I'm not.... and I think I can't do that again. I used to feel pleased when people complimented me on my work, but still felt like maybe they are just saying they like their hair. It's just hair, but it's something like my artwork walking around out there and some people are so fussy... rambling on here when I should get doing the dishes and some cleaning.

Busy Saturday today. In the late morning my friend and I had it out with each other. I had asked him to come over to my place. He said that he wanted me to go over to his house and bring him over to my place. I didn't want to do that. I wanted him to come over to my place on his own. I had threatened to cut off our friendship. It's not because of just that, there are other reasons. It would be hard for the both of us since we both feel that we are all that we have for each other.

I'm planning on a bike ride in a few minutes, but it's threatening to rain. I feel like I haven't ridden my bike in quite a while.

I haven't crunched the numbers yet and there's still about a week before reporting on this period closes, but so far it seems my income from book selling (royalties) is a little down from last month. My income dropped precipitously in the United States, which is the main market, but multiplied in Italy (of all places) to almost make up for it.

This day is just barely getting started. I hope it will be a good day (don't we all?). Yesterday afternoon my friend and I had a talk about how I feel. He seemed understanding. He said that he may make a way to my place today, but it's not a sure bet. My sister called at dinner time yesterday. I didn't talk because I was too busy preparing dinner and I thought it would have been too late to call her after dinner. I got mad because I told her not to call me around dinner time.

I saw a pretty good movie last night. Today I plan to make a batch of spaghetti sauce and do some light errands. I'll go bike riding later on.

Hello everyone,

I’m new here, and looking for someone to talk to about a relationship issue arising from my chronic depression. Sorry if this is an inappropriate way to use this thread. I’m just desperate to have a conversation with someone about it. Also, if anyone needs to talk to someone about personal issues you can also pm me about those. I’ll do my best to hear you out and let you vent.

A warm welcome to PC. I’m not great with advice but I’m a good listener and very supportive. Feel free to PM me.

The morning started off pretty good. My sister called and we had a pretty good talk. It seemed like after that, things went downhill. The things that went downhill had to do with people.

My friend didn't come over like he said he would. I figured that would happen. So that got me down. I went for a bike ride for about two hours. After that I called a college friend of mine, which I don't do very often. He depressed me with talking about a couple of guys that we used to be friends with; but the two of them don't want anything to do with me. I don't know why he has to talk about them. I've told him that I never want to hear their names ever before.

Tonight I went to use the spa at my place and a guy was already there. I had met him before. He just got right out in a huff being very angry that I came in. I don't know what his problem is. He's very weird. It's too bad this has to happen at a new place I'm at.

Welcome to this site.

I'm feeling very dejected at poor book sales. I wish there was something I could do to help it. I've tried many things in the past and I've only succeeded in wasting money I don't have to waste. This is the only thing I'm good at, and I'm finding it impossible to get anything going.

It's so hot, I poured McDonald's coffee in my lap to cool off.

An OK day but slow at work as I figured it would be. I felt like I had a hangover when I got up this morning. No, not the drunk kind, but the emotional kind since yesterday afternoon and evening was a real downer kind of time. It seems like those downer times happen frequently for me, especially when I'm feeling pretty good. It makes me believe that feeling good is a sin. I know it's not, but it sure feels that way.

I worked out after work and it went well, very easy again. Went to the spa and four women came in about 10 minutes after I got in. They were friendly and polite, but I felt intimidated with being with a group of friends who are together; with me feeling like an outsider.

I am dreading the 4th. I never liked that day. Too much noise and hype. Oh, please bring me back to winter quickly!

It's over 30 degrees in my apartment right now. In this weather I've got to take at least 2 showers a day just to stay sane. I wish I could live in the really far north, like somewhere in the Yukon.

I feel so good right now that it's marvelous. If I could just figure out how to keep this going. I was out of the house this morning at 10:30 a.m. That seems to help. So . . . . maybe, if I go somewhere early in the day, that might be a way of getting the internal engine to turn over. I did just take a Ritalin. Maybe that's a factor. But I've been improving for past few days, after about 10 days of being depressed, which was horrid. I've got to create a journal to track this stuff. Maybe I can come up with a routine to keep myself out of the pit. Maybe I would benefit from therapy to discuss what I figure out.

Feeling sad and disappointed. Not in the mood to do much. Feeling self critical. Not sure how to deal with this. I guess go to bed early.
