Well....

I'm feeling somewhat better. I still can't explain exactly what brought this on; feeling so low and like I was trying to pole vault …

About Me
***Okay, guess I'll have to do this: Please, no friend requests unless we've talked some first. I've been getting requests from people I'm not sure about, and I hate to just turn them down but I'm not comfortable just letting anyone in. Thanks!!*** “ Born 49 years ago in a straight laced vanilla flavored hamlet in the suburbs. Talk about a time warped community..been back there and it really hasn't changed. Knew from my first cognitive thought that it was gonna be tough. Didn't fit in no matter what I did, but thing is I probably caused a good deal of my own trouble because, frankly, I don't kiss butt. Not then, not now, not ever. Never been diagnosed with depression or any other mental disorder, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out there's been a problem. My take on it now is, I have this illness, but it doesn't have me. I try to use my experience to help someone else see that it doesn't have to have them too. ”

Hug
"kissie wissie hangnail of the day" & "oh god thirty in the morning" was simply gold. Hallmark cards has an opening for you I'm sure. Thank you so much for helping to brighten my day just a little. Much needed.....much appreciated. [hugs]

Hug
Completely LMAO @ the "wanna-snuggle fit". That was too funny. He does seem to have that ability to put on "that" face when he wants some attention, just like your cat I'm sure. Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my pics. So glad you did. Oh...and yes he is a tri-colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi. ( He has no tail but he wiggles his butt when he gets excited- lol).

Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate that there are others that understand how hard it is to witness the suffering of our innocent companions.....our friends. {hugs]

Hug
Aw- thanks. Could be better I guess- depressed....plus Kodi (my best bud) is really having a hard time with a leg injury that may require surgery (It's all in my latest journal entry), but otherwise, I'm hanging in there. I guess we have to take the good days with the bad sometimes.....*sigh. Thank you for your support. [hugs]

Close Depression
I guess I've suffered depression all my life...and the only reason I say this is because of reading about it and hearing people's stories....I've never been diagnosed, and except for self medicating (NOT recommended) which I stopped nearly 30 years ago, I've never been treated for it. But I seem to have all the symptoms. Of course not every day is bad....but I seem to have more than my share of them, and I go through periods where just functioning is a challenge; leaving the house is hard...
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I try this more now that I'm older. It's more a matter of changing perspective and finding out what's really important...don't sweat the small stuff, that sort of thing.....it works more than it used to lol....
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- I finally figured out that this was not the answer for me, simply because just talking about a problem wasn't enough. I know that goes against conventional wisdom, that it's helpful to talk things out, but I never felt it to be so. Maybe I just haven't found the right doctor.....
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- this is mixed....while I get along civilly with my family, they're really the last ones I can go to about my life and problems. Sad, but true. I do have friends who can identify with me, and that's a big deal. My family has no idea...they think it's as simple as telling yourself to snap out of it......
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Actually I was prescribed this during one of my attempts to quit smoking. My anxiety level shot up so bad I was smoking 3 times as much! So I stopped taking it...can't see how that would help with depression. (btw I finally DID quit the cigs...almost 3 years ago now
