I hate this depression. I used to be able to deal with most anything that came my way. Why can't I now? Why does something that someone says upset me so much? I just wish I could just let it slide off my back like I used to be able to. Maybe it is time for a Xanax? I really hate to take any meds unless I have to.
I need to get ready now for my app. with the VA Dr. I hope that the drive there and back will give me time to let this feeling pass.

Hang in there and don't worry about having to take the medicine ok? Try some deep breathing exercises where you force air to go down deep into your tummy breathing through your nose, then exhaling and blowing it out quickly releasing your thoughts as you do this...you will be focused only on the breathing and you will notice the anxiety level go down...not saying not to take the meds when you have to...but this is also helping me because Depression is a big battle for me right now too! I'm on Ativan..try to keep your thoughts as positive as possible ok? Find puzzle books, puzzles, things to do, paint rocks, grow plants...do something new and maybe these things will help you also...hang in there my new friend...
