What is a CSU? I'm glad you feel better.

I'm sorry you have not been able to finish your application for food stamps. Maybe try on off hours like 12 AM to 4 AM. I'm sorry there is no number to call. I hope you can get through and get your application in. In the meantime are there any food banks near you that can help you out in the interim? Some Churches will do food distributions as well as traditional food banks. If you can find out it might help. Just a thought.

Thank you! I've tried during off-hours and regular hours. It's odd that I can't get in. There's an online chat. I will try that today since it's normal working hours. An agent called me on Friday to get things started. I just haven't been able to upload my documents. Yes, I did think about food banks. If this doesn't work or I don't qualify, I will definitely seek further assistance.

Doing okay today. Just struggling with negative thoughts. Like "Oh I'm so stupid." Stuff like that. I'm trying to change the thoughts but without a lot of success.


I'm at work today but I don't have tons to do. I have a scanning project to work on but it is so boring. It is hard to stay motivated to do it. But I have to work on it.


Next week I only work two days.

I'm sorry your inner critic is so active today. Maybe you can talk back and set it straight. I read an article that suggested we see our inner critic as a person and we imagine having a conversation with them. It's there to help you but it doesn't do the right thing. So you thank it for trying and then tell it your strengths. I know you have many wonderful qualities. Maybe making a list of them will help too. I hope your day goes well.

I have been doing pretty good so far. I awakened this morning from interesting dreams. I had a good breakfast. I have been doing personal inventory & trying to build up my motivation to succeed at a particular goal. I'm hoping.

I'm giving up for now. I tried online chat. The agent said she was having technical issues. I can't find help on the site. I'm getting a page 404 not found. They have some serious problems. I would think it's a scam site but it's "my state".gov. And I did get a legitimate call from them. I redid my budget so I will just try to adjust. I'm fed up with this. It's just not meant to be.

Tomorrow we have our Christmas luncheon at work. I have my gifts for my coworkers stashed in my closet of my office. I am looking forward to the luncheon but also not. It means Christmas is coming too fast.

I'm doing well this morning. I'm more relaxed than usual. I guess because I don't have anything going on today. I plan to take it easy and have fun.

I mainly relaxed today. I did handle some business today. I also found out that the web site for the food stamps has been down all week. So I guess that explains why I've been having so much trouble. I will wait a while before I try again. I was able to apply for assistance with my meds. So I feel good about that. My mood has been good overall. I started Buspar today to help with my anxiety.

I've been working today. I didn't get the bills paid at work (not my fault) was waiting on approvals all day. It seemed like a really long day. Called my Dad. He said I have two packages waiting for me at home. Yippee!

I have an appointment today. I wish I didn't have to leave the house. But I really need to do this and I am almost dressed already. I feel calmer than usual about it. I'll just take things one step at a time. Hopefully, I'll be home before I know it.

I feel very sad tonight. Sunday's are always hard for me. I don't know why. It's not like I have to go to work tomorrow. The evenings are difficult. It gets dark early and I start feeling lonely. I'm bored as well. I'm not sure what to do with myself. I did try to sleep, but I woke up an hour later. I even did a meditation and that only helped in the moment. I wish I wasn't so alone. I have no one to talk to.

The Christmas Holiday depression has hit me like bricks today. I was doing okay but now not so much.

I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I feel stressed, lonely and depressed. I don't have much energy either.

This time of year, in spite of the spirit of giving & love, may be filled with memories, unfinished grief, unfulfilled wishes, & not enough sunshine. So let us comfort each other & find strength in our own special ways. I am so grateful to be here. I wish all of you your dreams come true!!

I feel cut off today. There's been a major explosion in a nearby city. Phone service is down, including 911. I was trying to talk to my vet about my cat. She's been crying today. And my half-sister is supposed to call today. I wanted to talk to my mom. I can't do that. And I'm worried that if I needed help with anything, I have no way to reach out. I'm going to ground myself. There's nothing I can do. I don't know how long the outage will last. I think the carrier's building was destroyed. That's scary to think about.

I'm having a difficult evening. I thought it would be nice to play a game for a while. But I can't get into it. My mood is off. I feel sad, tired and lonely. I wish I had someone to talk to. I tried talking to my sister yesterday, but she never did respond. I asked her today if her phone was okay. She told me she keeps her phone on silent. So that's great! I really needed her yesterday. I don't understand it. If I have my phone on do not disturb, I check it. I feel hurt. Oh well! Can't change it. Can't change people. I just wish I felt better tonight. Maybe I just need to go to sleep.

My day is getting better. I started off in pain. I took some meds and I've mainly been taking it easy. It's a pretty day. I'm sitting right next to an open window. I have everything I need to doodle and color. So I will spend some time doing that. I hope everyone is doing well. Happy New Year's to all!
