I hate these slips. I tryed all day yesterday to stay positive. I got outside stayed busy had a nice day with my hubby. Yet all day I could feel that darkness of depression lurking just over my shoulder. I am just so tired of having 4 or 5 good days just to find myself hitting bottom again. During the good days, and by good days I mean being able to function and feel somewhat like my old self, I start to feel hope that someday I will be free from this depression. Then I have a couple of bad days and I wonder will this cycle ever end. I'm tired of this rollercoaster ride I just want to get off.

I have had enough!
While I am not having a down day today, I know how it can be at times. {{{Big Hugs}}}}
The struggle to overcome the feelings and tiredness along with the constant back/forth, up/down is not easy.
Still you and all of us continue to press on inspite of and regardless of some days good and other days being saddening.
I pray the beacon of light that shines through always and overpowers the darkness of depression will be upon you today.
p.s There are those times it helps to take deep breathes and breathe out slowly doing this until you feel the ehaviness in your body and soul literally lighten up.
And thereafter allow yourself to look at what is making the depression come on.
That way you will be best able to figure out a solution or resolve needed.
Love to you
