DepressedRecluse 01/13/2009

again, its the 2nd week of the year, and i feel sick....sick, sick, sick,

i have no energy to do anything...not even take care of MYSELF...my relationship is in the toilet and i'm getting to a point that i just don't care anymore, i'm not willing to do all the work or actually, i don't have the energy to do all the work, i know exactly what i have to do, but i just don't feel like doing it....why?

why do i continue to feel this way, i have power, and knowledge, and God on my side, but i just don't have the energy, or the passion to do anything...not even the simple everyday things...all i want to do is sleep....

i'm sorry, i just feel like shit...been feeling that way since last monday, when i had a severe migraine, and my blood pressure has been sky high since the last week of last year...

i don't have a job, or any money, or any way to go to the doctor, or get any medication or anything...so i guess i just got to deal with feeling this way....this sucks...

sorry, just had to vent because i feel sick, again....and i'm tire of being sick....

bye...

Oh hun, I am so sorry that you are having a tough if not terrible time. I understand, money is very scarce at the moment. Jobs even scarcer. (more scarce?)

Try not to let it keep you down, depression beget depression. Even if you do not feel like it, make yourself get showered, dressed, it will make your kids see that you are not giving up. They need to see that so that they do not feel lie giving up. Things will change for the better...

I am hoping that a burst of energy will encompass you...the very best of luck, my friend.

I like what dkimball said -" Depression begets depression." It's hard, but it's true. I understand how hard things are on you right now, I hate this time of year with a passion. You just have to remind yourself that a lot of this is seasonal, and no matter what you do the seasons will change with or without you. So hang on tight and do all you can, and this will pass. It will get better, I believe in you. Good luck hun.
