i have a temp job. I have to go in there and smile this week even though I just want to lay in bed and cry. I pray that I can put on a "fake happy show" for the upcoming week. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the job because I literally have three weeks of unemployment left. Is en though I am very grateful, I am so depressed. I wish I could sell everything but my clothes and leave. And never ever come back.

It won't always feel this way TC40. Depression does lift, it's just hard to ride it out but you can do it!!
You have a job now so that's good. Are your meds ok...do you need a tweak? Exercise helps A LOT. Can you spend some time going for walk around your neighborhood.
We are all here for you. You're not alone!

Good luck starting your new temp job, TC. I know it can be so hard sometimes to just see past the fog in front of you - when you're in it deeply, which I think you are. But like fog, depression passes, and situations change - sometimes whether we like it or not.

You'll do marvelously at putting on a smile. "Fake it 'til you Make it"!. You know, just pretending to smile by using those smile muscles can really make you actually happy? So fake it ALOT and hopefully it will stick.

I have so much faith in you....Big hugs, TC. Keep us posted!

    You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
