[Breaking Dawn]

Dear 3rd rock, I'm very sorry about your bird. I feel sad for you. One thing I do know. She knew you loved her. God bless her sweet soul. And God bless you.

Hey, I have to admit that my Winter depression (my SAD) has become a little bit too hard for me. So here I am for a while ...

I will make a new thread called "Goals for today or next day" for all who find that their depression is more easy to cope with when they have at least one goal to fight for.

Thank you for your kind words.

Very sorry for your loss also. I meant to say that to you last night; but then as I was finishing my post last night, I got interrupted. I used to have a parakeet myself and that loss was so much. Pets can be so nice and it can hurt so much when they go.

Thank you as well. I'm feeling a bit less sad today, although I miss her just as much.

I'm managing fairly okay.

A not so good day today. For the first time ever at work, there were no deliveries and no outgoing items. Nothing! A total shutout!

Also I got thinking heavy about my life. I love the things I have going for me, but they seem to be all going downhill. I feel like I'm in a loving marriage that's not working out; or like it was great and now not so good.

I worked out after work. It went OK and made me feel better.

I'm doing Okay today. I'm trying to be a little more hopeful.

I feel tired, but hopeful this morning! Have used my "SAD-lamp".

I deserve to be hurt and punished. I’m alone again. I binge ate and feel like killing myself. I’m there again. Abandoned all along. I was a fool to ever think I wasn’t.

I sank so deep in my depression 3days ago it just came out of nowhere then i started fighting with the demons in my head. I didn't know it could get that bad ive never experienced depression that terrible. All I was able to do was cry all night i didn't know it could get that bad anyone experienced it like that before. I hate the Holidays sooo much. But i hate depression in general even more

[kumy]

I feel really down and hopeless today. I wish I could sleep all day. I want to hurt myself so bad...

[Deilla]

I feel anxious this morning. I'm packing for a trip.

I feel that I have managed this first whole day fighting SAD well enough. I found the proper balance between rest and activity. Am optimistic.

I want to take my trip away from home, but I'm so terrified. I already booked the hotel. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I wish I had something for anxiety.

Are you going somewhere far from home? Are you going by yourself? In the last couple of years I had faced "travel anxiety". I get excited about going somewhere; and then just before going I would ask myself, "why am I doing this?" But I did pull through, went, and felt better once I got going.

If you are staying someplace alone, you might experience anxiety when you first get up in the morning. That's what had happened to me. When I had that anxiety in the morning, I ate, and then felt better. That's all it took for me. I never took any kind of anxiety pill.

I think that you are going to be fine, so enjoy the trip you're going on.

I got real demoralized this morning - my bf not cooperating with me.

Christmas is coming soon. I got to get out of the dumps.

[will19]

A much better day today than yesterday, that's for sure! It was fairly busy at work. It seemed like a miracle. And I emotionally felt better. Other than that, nothing much.
