Depression is trying to take over me. So many things happening all at once. I honestly just want to give in. I wish i could just be alone until my kids come back on Sunday. I have to fake happy which sucks the life out of me. The only good thing is my dental work has stopped hurting. I hate feeling sad all the time. I hate that I feel confused a lot and losing words. I have such a hard time following a conversation. I know it’s important that I get out but I don’t want to. My proctor is here tomorrow and we are going to giant tiger and maybe the thrift store. There are beautiful winter coats at giant tiger for $99. That is so expensive but I can’t freeze every day. I
guess that could be my Christmas gift to myself. I’m trying to make Christmas about my kids.
These feelings pass. They’re not permanent. Just this evening I was feeling like a complete worthless loser. And that feeling passed and I’m a bit more optimistic now.
I’m sorry you’re struggling @FatMama. I’ve been dealing with the onset of depression myself and i’m quite familiar with it from years of experience. If things don’t start looking up for you it may require an adjustment to your meds. Hope you have a good trip to the thrift store and i hope you get to feeling better soon. If not, maybe talk to your pdoc about these things. Take care.

I am so sorry you are depressed. I understand. I understand the want to isolate, too.
Do you want to spend that much money on a coat? Can you find a less expensive one? That way you can make $99 go further and buy more things! Or get the coat and love it!
My biggest hope for jacket is to find one at the thrift store. I’ll also check the local buy and sell
Smart plan! I hope you find something warm!
I think most of us have had a few rough nights. I know I have. You can get through them. I know it’s tough, but life will get better.
Hang in there @FatMama!
This shall pass.
I’m sorry you’re struggling. Try something therapeutic like art or whatever you’re good at to distract you from it. What does your proctor do for you?
She goes shopping with me or we get a coffee and drive around
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time @FatMama. Depression is so disabling. I’ve suffered from major depression myself. Try to look after yourself, the negative feelings do pass. I’m glad to hear that your dental work has stopped being painful. And you should definitely buy yourself a nice new coat. No point in freezing unnecessarily.
Is she like a peer support specialist?
Arlbar is a good person get to feeling better.
I’m not sure 15
