Hi! Just blogging by to visit your blog! I hope you get to feeling better! Pray and Pray some more! I will be praying for you as well!
You have a really nice blog.
It's been quite a long time since I wrote anything here.
On my rollercoaster ride of life, I'm DOWN again...
Right now, I feel really alone....really sad...depressed...like a complete failure. I just want to crawl in a hole and die. It takes a great deal of effort to appear "okay"...I so badly want to cry. Sucking back tears, and trying to keep up appearances is hard work. I forced myself to go out in a public place this morning around others. I tried to appear cheerful, light-hearted, friendly... I succeeded, but at what cost? I feel even more miserable now.
I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there in blog land who 'forces' themselves to keep up appearances, even when they feel like sh*t.
(If I had a cigarette now, I'd smoke it. I quit a long time ago...but the craving still takes me occasionallly.)
How do others deal with depression?
What can you do, if you recognize it, am going through it, but unable to beat it????
First of all, you are not a failure. Illness and an artistic temperament has oft had me sink into long periods of depression throughout my life.
