It was sunny today. I woke up after a little bit of a struggle. I didn't get out of bed until after noon today, but I'm going to try not to feel too badly about it. It was still earlier than when I...

I had a good day yesterday. Not dancing-in-the-streets great, but a good day. Somehow, in trying to focus on the positive changes (if any) that I notice, I feel like I made yesterday bigger and...

I was pretty relaxed most of last night. I felt more like myself...whatever that means.When I got up today (before noon!) I was feeling a bit anxious about what I would do, as always. On a whim, I...

I didn't quite go out by myself, but I did walk outside despite the rain...Maybe being brave in these small ways will help me get out there by myself soon.

I stayed up much later than I expected to last night. I think that the increased dosage of Cymbalta, which seems to get me buzzing, had me up. On the positive side, I was reading about books I might...

Bedtime is such a mix of relief and anxiety for me. On the one hand, yay, I made it through another day (and a longer day at that) but on the other hand, I have to do it all over again tomorrow. And...

Well, I contacted the client by rejecting some new jobs they put in my queue. At least I did something. Even if it put fear and anxiety into me.I just have to keep breathing.Maybe tomorrow I'll be...

I got a call from a client today asking me to update my scheduling calendar. I've been putting it off. They've been really nice about the fact that I called them to let them know I've been sick and...

I went to therapy today and talked about how difficult it is to deal with depression and then try to deal with people's ignorance/misunderstandings regarding it as well.My therapist suggested...

I talked to my doctor yesterday and he is unhappy that my symptoms don't seem to have lifted. He asked how I was doing and I told him I felt roughly the same, and gave him a list of my symptoms like...

I just got back from my daily walk with my fiance. I really didn't want to leave the house since it had gotten gloomy here again, but I did. And we didn't walk as far as usual, but almost, so that's...

There was a post in a discussion area regarding sharing our symptoms, I wrote:lack of motivation isolation sleeping more and then insomnia from sleeping through the day avoidance self...

One thing I've learned going through this depression is that it's so hard for people who aren't going through it or who never experienced it to understand how hard it is.I got a letter from my...

Just not feeling so good today. Went out for a walk with my fiance to get some food and I could barely eat. I went because I know I need to get out and walk and at least try to interact or do...

It's another rainy and grey day around here. I woke up from some strange dreams about putting up Christmas lights, turning them on in stealth and getting shot at for some reason. I've read that...
