hi, my screen name is display.

i'm having a rough day today. just feeling really isolated. i did make a call earlier to a friend. it didn't really help my mood but at least i reached out. maybe in the future i can continue to reach out and it will help. my big problem with depression is isolation.

i live with my sister and she is out of town today. so i am basically spending the day alone. i do have something to do - finish my laundry and then i will watch figure skating.

but i do want to say that i am very down today and i can tell when i am this down that nothing is really going to help. just get through the day and maybe tomorrow will be better.

one thing that is looming on the horizon is that i will be having dental surgery to get a full upper denture. my periodontist and dentist are both very good so i probably just need to let go of all my worry about it and trust that they are professionals who have my best interests at heart.

thanks for listening,

Hi Display-

I think all of us have days like this with our depression. Your goal to get through today and the hope that tomorrow will be better is great. You do have plans for today and that is good too.

Hang in there. We are all here to support you!

I got dentures 20 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I hope it goes easy for you. It did for me. It was worth every thing I went through. I am not saying it is easy, but it isn't bad. You will get through it just fine. I hope you feel better.

Hug, Karen

Display,

remember when you are this down; 10 mins outside to change the air in head and lungs.

hold ice to change the level of depression you are currently in; the ice holding with bring you down a few notches.

On days like you have today, yes, you may have to do these skills again and again. This is what skills are for! Getting through the rough times, making them smaller in the future. This can only happen if we fight with our skills.

Stay strong-hang tough
Peace
