yes I am sick again...i hate being sick...but I am sick again...

I was sick earlier this year...and started to get over it...now I'm back in that place again...where I am sick...you know what I'm talking about right...that sickness that doesn't have a specific definition....

that feeling of sickness...i'm sick...tire,....frustrated...afraid...sick...tired...gloomy...despair...agony...ugh I hate this feeling and I just want to get rid of it but I can't...

I had a really bad asthma attack last week and now i'm recovering from that and headed down that long dark path to rock bottom when I had just baredly started crawling my way out of it...

ugh...why is this effing life so effing hard? why can't it be easy...at least some of the time...I've worked hard and have nothing...

i'm sick...tired....angry....broke...frustrated....UGH...I just want it all to go away...

I wan't a do over...but I don't see one happening anytime soon...

if it's the most wonderful time of the year why do I feel so horrible?

I'm really sorry. I'm sick too, believe it or not. I have been really low lately....sleeping all the time.....But, we'll make it. These feelings are always changing....we just need to continue to look tor the "light". It's there, we just can't see it so easily.

Again, I'm sorry you feel this way. I feel much the same way.

I'm FINALLY recovering from a marathon sinus infection. I really got very depressed while going through that infection. I think those that have depression get worse whenever an illness comes along.

Get some good rest (but not too much), take good vitamins, eat well and exercise when you are up to it. Get outside in the fresh air and sunshine. In other words, take good care of yourself even though you don't feel well.

As for feeling horrible at this time of year. Well, I don't know what to say. I get that feeling a lot of times at Christmas. I try to focus on the real meaning of Christmas, and that helps me. Plus I put on happy Christmas music.

I hope you feel better soon.

I am always sick, it seems. One thing after another. I have been in the hospital so many times this year. Every time I get out the depression hits. I just got out on Saturday. When I woke up Sunday I could feel the depression creeping up. I am so glad I was able to stop its progression for now. I was taught to close my eyes and go to a favorite place. I then as myself why I am feeling this way. I basically was able o convince myself not to go down that horrible path again.

Now I don't know it will last. And every morning I go through the same mantra, but so far so good. Good luck to you!

Feel better!

I know the struggle all too well, just like you do. I wish there was a magic cure for all of us who are struggling, but it's a very complex condition and it takes time and effort to get to the other side and stay there. Not saying that you haven't been working at this with all your strength----I'm sure you have been doing everything in your power to keep from slipping back down in the black pit of doom and despair. Just know that we're with you and you're not alone. Are you seeing a therapist? That might help.
