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.
Hi everybody! I wrote a post on Sunday. I was in a good mood and I was determined not to let the usual obstacles get in the way of me going on a bike ride for the first time in years. I lifted my bike and hurt my back and I fell off of the bike while getting off of it. I don't remember hurting my knee, which was about 90% healed from another spill that I took a long time ago and for which I had gone for treatment, but either the riding or the fall reinjured my knee. I am in quite a bit of pain. But back to Sunday, later in the day, I was obligated to visit my Aunt with my brother, who was bringing dinner. At that point, only my back hurt. On my way home, I passed what looked like a bird in the road. It was upright. I ended up rescuing it and bringing it to a wildlife hospital on Monday morning. My back and knee were killing me. I went to the wrong building. Did some walking. Then I called my doctor's office for the third time since the week before for a prescription refill. Left another message. Called a total of 5 times and someone actually answered the phone. This was on Tuesday. Was told it had just been put in the system and would take 24 to 48 hours to get called in. I am out of my cholesterol medication. Great. Next, going back to the Wednesday before, I have been talking to my brother's old friend for hours on end, either via text or phone, having reconnecting on Facebook. He was expressing an interest in dating but I think he realized that I'm not interested. I think he wore me out though. I have been extremely tired for days. I have not been in a good mood. Lastly, my cat. He's so beautiful and quite a lot of company but he needs to be fixed. Last night, he cried for hours. One more thing, my best friend is leaving for vacation with her boyfriend. I will hardly hear from her because her boyfriend gets mad when she gets on her phone. She and I spend a lot of time on text. Basically, I am mad that I am injured. I am mad that I have been sleeping too much. I tried to get a voucher printed at my bank for my cat to be fixed but the girl didn't go for it. I have got to get myself to Staples or somewhere. I have been researching computers. I have a printer. That prescription better be there tomorrow. Sorry so long.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

Sorry to hear about your injuries and stuff, that can always make you feel like crashing and burning again.
Hope from here starts to get better for you :)
