I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.  Depression hits me out of the blue sometimes.  Sometime i wonder if i don't bring it on myself.  When things don't go the way that i want them to go.  I get aggravated at how they turn out.  Not like i wanted them to turn out. 
I know how i feel, but it's so hard to put into words. Being honest about it is the hardest things i've ever done.  The doubt that i have for myself is always there. It seems like that's all i can do is to keep the doubt at bay.  Will the doubt ever go away?  Why does it seem like it's getting harder and harder to push the doubt monster away?  The thing is, i know that right now i'm feeling the early stages of depression. I clam up and don't express my feelings when i should. Then that makes me upset. Then i'm mad at myself. etc. etc. etc.
I tell myself to 'snap out of it'.  I feel so helpless at times. I'll go to work tonight and see how it goes.

    hi lion, I'm doing a lot better this morning.  Whenever i start feeling like that, i go on to other things. I'm really interested in taking pictures with my digital camera.
    I love taking pictures of nature. Flowers, floods, trees, lakes, rivers, mountains, birds, and all.  So, i spent a lot of time uploading a lot of photos to flickr.com
    I reached my limit of uploaded photos with the 'free' account.   The next step is 'pro'. which meas, 'mo money'...       It's a lot of work, but i enjoy it.              You know, most of my depression days are just that. They all last one day and that's it.  But, what a long day it is when all you really want to do is take a zanax.  he he

    Hi day...I hope you are feeling better?  There is nothing worse than feeling that heaviness and being totally unable to will yourself out of it.  
  • scarum said on Sep 13, 2008....
    been there done that, can't getout.
  • day2day said on Sep 13, 2008....
    hi oscar,   Yes, i'm feeling much better. There is no way on this earth or heaven that i could ever will myself out of the throes of depression.  Depression has a death grip that can only be broken by 'action'.   When i went to work that night i started to get into my rhythm and pushed myself. It works for me.
     
    hi scar,  You say you can't get out?  You can get out.  There are many many people here in SoulCast that have much valuable advice. Like i told oscar,      how i continue on, is action.  Just do it.  Be kind to yourself. Give yourself something to look forward to.  For me, it's my job.  I am after a promotion.

    Hey day, I just wanted to tell you that your comment, "Depression has a death grip that can only be broken by action" is so true. I think it answers a lot of questions that people have over how depressed people react. I think if people were more empathic with how it feels to be depressed and the urge to let it all out, that they would be more forgiving of the depressed person. I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better. I appreciate you and your comments and advice. I think if you really knew the impact you have on people, you would value yourself more and not be so depressed.  
  • day2day said on Sep 16, 2008....
    hi slick,  Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes i need
    that.  I have had to learn to value myself. The mind is a crazy place.
    Bringing order to chaos is more trial and error.    There is one thing that i always try to remind myself of. If your trying to fix something and you keep doing the same thing over and over, It'll never be fixed. Like spinning your wheels.

    hi me, I have missed u2.  I had 5 puppies since you've been gone. PUPPIES 4SALE ...  AKC Registered Dachsund puppies,
    Mom & Dad on site. (plus one older brother(Ozzy) ).
    Make wonderful lapdogs & playmates. Dallas, Tx. area.
    I gotta make a poster sheet to take to work and hang on the bulletin board. I'll put an ad in the paper on Monday. The trouble is: I always get so attached to them. But, i know they are going to good homes and to people who love dogs. I have missed our conversations also. I remember the 'my favorite word' , and the games we used to play as kids. I loved that so much. ride and hide
    ha ha  I'll have more time tomorrow to spend with 'ol lappy.  I worked last night a night of OT. I'll looking forward to next paycheck. I am dog/puppy tired. Nite nite me

    ps....thank u for the kind words.

    Day,
     
    They are such cuties! My dog would so eat em'! I've never had puppies in my house before...I would want to keep them ALL! hehe! I'm looking forward to my next paycheck also, God knows I need it. I'm excited no matter, but I got in some overtime to.
     
     I did allot of soul searching while gone...so many stories to be told...

    hi me, I can't wait to hear about your stories.
    I guess your dog would think my puppies were light snacks, huh?
    I'm glad your excited too about your paycheck. I don't know about you, but every dollar counts these days. Lots of bills to pay. I'm just glad i'm able to work and bring home some money. The OT is going to help a little. I'm just glad it's over. Now i can rest for a couple days. yay! day
