Monday

Wake up from crying myself to sleep.  Head pounding feeling like crap.  Body hurting blessed I had a pretty good weekend. It was fun hanging out with my friend and her daughter.  It just hit some triggers like missing my kids and being alone. Yesterday went to lunch with a old friends basically like a sister that was awesome and she listened and her boys are going through it to so she understood.  But today I'm just not OK sad, Deppresed, lonely.  Done with this feeling. And I don't want the holidays here.

Rocking you gently and crying with you, Toughass.

Such whiplash is one of my excuses for isolating. All too often fleeting social successes remind me of . . . Stuff I'd rather not be reminded of.

Can you pass the tissues?

Handing you seem tissues back. Big hug. I done like to be reminded of things that pain me or upset me or things in general. Thank you for being here.

The letdown you describe after the uplift of having time with your old friend reminds me of a book I once read that had the title "After the Ecstasy, the Laundry." It meant after great things often comes the chore of living. The title stuck with me because what you describe as your Monday's happened to me, too. I guess that's why there are so many songs about Mondays. I hope you can make it ok into the week. I get not wanting the holidays to come.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
