I can't do this, I can't go through another 2015 where I spent so much time in hospital, ECT, everything. I'm doing the right things, got back to eating ok, walking at least an hour a day, although crying while doing so, and I just feel so empty, so dead inside, I yearn for connection, but 10 years on from Larry, I'm still in the same place. My mood just switched and I can't seem to do anything about it. My psych is away until Jan 31. I get so angry about it, I was doing all the right things and carrying on, ups and downs like everyone has, but this is a depressive episode, and it's achingly horrible. |
I'm so, so sorry, Leshar. I know nothing seems to be of much help when it gets like this, but we're here for you. :hug: |
Leshar honey. So so much love. We are all with you. We will help you get through this. Together. ♡ |
Yes Bob, and not just the ascent. ;) |
Post Christmas blues is a real thing I think - I'm not really my chirpy self right now either - it's been more a trudge right now than a merry dance...but I know it'll pick up again :) I hope/trust this is just a temporary down and you'll come out of it Leshar :) D |
Good point, Dee. I was thinking the same thing the other day. I'm so whiny at the moment. Seriously, LESHAR, I understand your episodes are the pits....but please don't think you are the only one who has a big whine. If you only knew what I feel whiny about this morning, you wouldn't feel so alone. All I can say is, as they have in the past, this episode too will pass. I'd still lay off the junk food though, to be sure. (No Irish puns intended! :) ) Lol Bob on your thoughts on the accent. Some Aussie Sheilas aren't that sexy at all. They are what we call, "rough as guts". :) |
I'm watching some playoff football. My team plays in a few hours. Yeah, I suspect there's a few tough ladies in Aussie. There is everywhere. ;) Maybe it's cause I think of Olivia Newton John.:lmao |
Leshar, I'm glad you talked about the blues, seems we have company in winter blahs. Almost a sense of desperation in some of my colleagues and great frenzy around marches etc. I'm just gliding along in some ways. Resolute, we have to admit a nice diversion is having our team in the playoffs! I couldn't believe I bought the last package of chicken wings at Market Basket. H asked me to make fried chicken, definitely a Saturday day evening tradition. I realized tonight I never had made it sober before. It was good but no where near as spicy as usual, must have added the kitchen sink when I used to make it! |
Dee, I'm sorry you're feeling low. I hope something thoroughly excellent happens today to cheer you up. :hug: |
thanks Gilmer - I'm ok- just empathising with Leshar :) I have a few days of music ahead so I'll be fine :) D |
Good. :) |
MK, haha on the cooking. That was a HUGE adjustment for me sober. And I love cooking too, so it was like trying to fall in love again with an old hobby. It was challenging, but I will say it does get better, |

The amount of times I added the kitchen sink then heated it up sober the next day & thought, what the hell is this **** !!!! |

Yes, my daughter does not watch the news anymore, as it makes her cry and feel so depressed. You said what I was thinking so well, Snooz. I truly think the patients are lucky to have your ray of sunshine shining into their lives, for sure.xx As the day comes to an end, I feel so grateful right now that you are sober.:grouphug: I don't know how I missed this. Thank you so much . Love you xxx |

Aw Crois :kiss: I don't know how I missed this. Thank you so much . Love you xxx And Dee, yep, why not start a thread? What's up? |
Thinking of you lovely Dee xxx |
Nothing really. Feeling much better now. Maybe I'll come back to it as a topic for discussion when I finish what I'm doing at the moment, music wise. :) D |
Very glad to hear you're feeling better Dee. :) :hug: ♥ |
Yes. :). Looking forward to the thread. |
:wavey: |
Not good. Can't get the motivation to do anything. Screamed at myself in the mirror. Walked two hours yesterday and it didn't help. Binge eating rubbish again. I don't want to live like this. My mood just changed on a dime. It's a horrible cruel illness. I see light and have hope, then it's snuffed out. I remember feeling well and liking myself, but it's all gone now. |
((((Leshar)))) You bring us joy. That is a constant. |
Dear Gilmer, you are so kind. But it's hopeless. I just want to give up. 3 and a half years later and no better, that's how it seems. What's it all for? |

We will all help you through this. Hang on. And perhaps call your doctor. And stick close here if you can. More love. So many hugs. ♡ |
