I cant begin to tell you how desperate I feel right now. I want to cry, but am at work and just cant lose it here. I feel like I am losing my sanity. Words of encouragement welcome!

Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.

I do know what that feels like. Is there anywhere you can go, to take five, so you can just calm yrself enough to get through the day? I assume you can't take the rest of the shift off?

I guess I can go for a walk, but am afraid I may not want to come back. I did that on Tuesday. I had to go to therapy for an hour and was planning on coming back to work, but it was too much and I just went home instead.

HI, I am so sorry you are feeling down. I have been feeling that way all day too. I needed to do something so I took a shower. Now I am clean and sad. I guess that beats being smelling and depressed. I hope that you can get yourself a state change....do something good for yourself no matter how small....We're in this together...we can't lose hope. Here's a HUG!

I think I was sad because I was listening to a song that I love but that reminds me of my ex. I just changed it to see if I can snap out of it.
A shower sounds good right now :-)

Picture me farting in the tub... and eating the bubbles! Does that make your day?
Hmmmmm... picture everyone NUDE on this site! NOW, does that work for you?
Just sidetrack yourself. Think of silly things.
Take care.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
