Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I was so excited to have a vacation...my first paid vacation in three years...11 days off...there's only 4 days left and I haven't done any of the things I planned on...pretty much just hidden away in my apt...slept 15 hours today...what a waste...just more of the same...sleeping my life away...hiding from the real world. I did some searching the other day...motivational quotes...Like get off your ass and live! Just do it! I won't go on a date because I don't have anything nice to wear...hate shopping for clothes...besides not liking myself! Want to start working out...gain a few pounds...put on some muscle...am I ever gonna get out of this cave I'm in?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
See if you can set a little goal for tomorrow; you will go out for a cup of coffee and a magazine, or something else little and manageable.
More often than not, once a person finally blows the dust off, they can see if the trip itself energizes them to go on to the next excursion!
No sense in berating yourself for resting so much. Perhaps that is what you needed to do most of all.
Tomorrow is, however; another day :-)
Just stay in the moment and let the wind blow you around like an autumn leaf :-)
