and i hate it. i don't know how to get myself out of it. i'm sad too because Saturday is usually my happiest time. i know part of my problem is my negative thoughts that nothing will change.

i need some HELP.

You probably need to work on those negative thoughts. Write them down and put them away so that you can get them out of your mind. Write positive things and put them around the house where you will see them.

You will feel better. Make Saturday a good day!

Hi Display,

Ah, those nasty negative thoughts. Been a thorn in my side for awhile too. Karen has a great idea.

What I do is write down the negative thought in black ink. Then I challenge that with a realistic positive statement in Blue or red ink. Or use a highlighter

Soon you will be feeling better about yourself. Get out and walk, you know the drill, endorphines always make us feel better!

Have a better Saturday night, Sunday. Let us know how you are doing.

Peace
Trina

i am a little bit better today. i am trying to chat in my favorite chat room, but what i really need to do is just check in here, where people understand depression and can give me some good feedback.

i woke up tired and sore. i hate tight muscles because usually when i discover them it means they will be around for a while, no matter what i try to loosen them up.

i am all messed up on one issue - i think i need to buy a new (used) car but looking for one on the internet just gets me confused and upset. i wish i could just give someone the money and a list of what i want and they could go get it for me. i live with my sister and thought of asking her to help me, but am afraid she will be bossy and we'll get into an argument. and that she will try to tell me what to do (left over from growing up in a very dysfunctional family where people were always telling each other what they thought you SHOULD do).

my car is an issue because the one i have right now is old and i get afraid driving it. so consequently i stay home a lot which i know is not good for me. i need the distractions of going out and doing things.

i am also trying to quit smoking and have been using a 12 step program for that but am not making any progress unless it is some kind of progress that is not conscious.

so that is where i am today - WHEW - i am going to try and shower and get dressed and eat some breakfast.

thanks for listening

Hey Display,

Can you go to a used car lot and look at some cars? Or look in the paper for people selling them. Often you get a better deal that way. Maybe take your sister with you.

I am sorry you are aching today. I hope that the day gets better.

We have got to get another vehicle too. It will be used. We have been looking at a truck, but I need to drive it to see if I like it. We have to have four wheel drive up here, we get a lot of snow.

I hope that you have a good day Display.

Hugs, Karen...
