I am feeling better but am still fighting the depression. It has been cold and raining all day today and what did I do other than walk the dog real quick? I was in bed under the covers napping off and on all day:) I just did not feel like doing anything today,was just one of those days I guess. I am fighting hard though to get out of this depression. I can do it I say I can do it I say......... So ((((((((hugs)))))))) to everyone. Have a good night.

Keep fighting it! There are lots of things we can do, like a good diet and positive thoughts. I think the positive thoughts do a lot of good!

Yep ..... you can do it. So you took today off. So did God (ok .... so He really took Saturday off but you get my drift.)

Sometimes a successful day for me is one in which I don't go backwards. :) You got this!!

I hope you feel better soon. Keep taking good care of yourself and beat back the depression when you can.

It is okay to "take a day". I can't take anti depressants, so I have no choice but to fight. This is what I do...I take my day, my 24 hrs to just lay in bed, don't do anything except go to the bathroom...then i write a list the next morning and do 3 things off my list each day...they can be mundane things, like brush my hair, brush my teeth..etc. but i do put big things on my list...so i make myself do 2 mundane things and one big thing. and I do the positive thoughts. sometimes in the beginning the positive thoughts can be hard, so I have me a list. It works well.

You can do it. HUGS
