well I am home now

I got home from work earlier than usual today. I started work about half an hour early and so I left


a half an hour early. Things are ok here. I was depressed when I got home. Work was hyper energy


and a lot of activity. I don't know if it was the contrast to coming home to a standstill - but I kind of went into 


a depression and felt powerless to change anything or direct myself to effectuate the day.


I know I have to fight for it so I will.


I love my friends who are there to mark the time of our mutual lives as we live them. I feel like


I think it's time to make some 'play dates' for myself. Part of me remembered when I was a parishoner at


a local Anglican church. It really was too much for me - and so I left.


How can I fill the void of my life now? I think to keep in touch with people as I can - and make more


"in person" events for us to share. 


Fight for it - and don't focus on the depression!! We all will find our 'order' and way of dealing with things.

Big hug for you sweetie.... Playdates sound like a wonderful idea!!!.... or what about volunteer work?

I find that I can have trouble simply being social however if I am focused on something like a volunteer position I am fine

I've done some really interesting things in the volunteer/mental health realm over the years and really enjoyed it

I volunteered at a crisis hotline for a couple of years.... a homeless youth shelter and a bipolar assoc..... all interesting and rewarding as well I got to interact with some great people...… Just a thought if you aren't comfortable with the small getting to know you talk...… xo
