It will end at some point but sorry can't tell you when. You've had 3 good months which is great, but I know coming down from that can feel awful. Just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully it'll pass sooner rather than later.x

i know it's hard and nothing seems worth it anymore I know where you are! But you can't give up, you mean too much to the world. You are a human being and you deserve to be respected, loved and most importantly you deserve happiness. I know you will find it. Lean on me if you need to I am here ok?

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. (hug) I don't know what else to do. I think you should call your doctor though, before it gets out of hand?

Well, if you are depressed, you have certainly come to the right place! LOL. *trying to make you laugh* Seriously, I am actually in my "good" period right now, and talking on here seems to be keeping the bad at bay. Maybe talking about it would help you. There are some really good listeners on here. They don't even get mad when you post excessively long posts. I wish you well.

I feel that bad 2day i don't know what 2 say, my head is pickled.

Holidays are notorious for making people depressed. I think it's because we're surrounded by so much advertising and other hype about how happy and joy-filled it SHOULD be that it's hard to face the real imperfect thing.

Thanx maridon i hope it does pass afta the holidays.

deleted_user 12/03/2007

Try to have something to do, don't be alone at the holidays. Isn't there some place you can go, someone to be with? I've spent some holidays alone, and it's not easy.

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...
