Bad week

[Caro]

I'm just not even trying. I don't want to. I don't want to explain
or articulate my feelings to love ones. So I;m staying in my shell.
That's about all I can say.

I hope you feel better soon, Caro.

Carolyn,

sorry you are having it tough over your way.

Hang in there and be good to yourself today.

I just got back from talking with my therapist.

she is such a help to me as she helps me figure

things out by listening to me voice my feelings

and thoughts out loud and then gives me

ways to be a healthier thinker and doer. It

is still tough sometimes but I know it

would be so much worse without my meds and

my therapy. Plus I go to a free depression

support group where people really know

where I am coming from and what I am

going through.

It all starts with one small step a day for me.

Someday's I may only take 1 or 2 tiny steps but

if I keep this up I will eventually feel better.

Hope this helps in some small way Carolyn.

 

Donna

Hey everybody thank you for your support. I am still feeling very
numb and just in a state of not caring, but yesterday I took a baby
step. I went to my ususal hair salon. I wasn't able to articulate
very well (that's how the lows effect me, have trouble communicating,
talking.) and said I wanted summer hair. How fricken vague is
that???!!!! But the lady was an older motherly sort and asked me no
further questions. She dyed my brown hair blonde and gave it a nice
cut. She didn't expect me to talk at all.
That was yesterday. I am still low but feel I at least tried
yesterday. Didn't do my volunteering job at the school with the kids
all week. But yeah, here's hoping next week I'll be ready to bounce
back.
