I am so tired and I cannot see the light...I have no energy to do anything that might make me feel a little better...All I want to do is sleep, and I can't even do that well...Mornings are so awful...The rest of the day is not great, but morning is the darkest, darkest hour...
I wish I could escape the apathy of my household, but I can't swing it financially. My folks are so unhappy themselves. Everything here is falling apart, and they have never done anything to maintain the place. It is as if this house is a reflection of the minds that dwell within it...The creeping odor of mildew from behind the walls makes me feel sick...The giant hole in the floor next to my bathtub allows the musty odors from beneath the house to slip in, the filthy broken countertop tiles and the wires hanging from the porch light fixture divulge the apathy that pervades this space. The yard, gone to seed and piled with broken bits of this and that cry out that these lives have no direction, no plan. I ask, BEG that they tidy up after themselves so that my teenaged daughter can live with some sense of normalcy. They just get angry at me for "nagging"...God help us, I just don't know how to escape this. We haven't had friends for so long because this place is so awful...And all this, living in one of the most affluent suburbs in southern California, makes me feel even more alienated from life around me. Dark and hopeless decay in my life and in my mind plagues me. I don't know where the escape hatch is, and I feel like I am in a living death.

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...
Also you MUST GET ON MEDICATION - see my other post...
