feeling really down and like there is not much for me to look forward to. i seem stuck in a state of inaction - knowing there are things to be done but not feeling like i am up to doing them.

my job just feels like a situation where i have to slog through it. wish i had something to look forward to on the weekend but i don't.

didn't want to carry all this around with me today; that's why i have checked in here.

Hi Display,

I hope that things get better for you. I am glad that you posted. It is hard when we are depressed. And don't have anything to look forward to. Maybe you could start some new hobbies or something to that effect. take life one day at a time, and learn to appreciate the little things in life. Makes life so much better.

Hang in there sweetie.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi display,

I'm sorry you're feeling down. What kind of work do you do? Maybe you can treat yourself to some ice-cream or something you like at lunch or after work? This may help you feel better today.

Things will get better.

Hi display,

hope you made to work.

take a big deep breath and wide stretch those arms, then let it out. To this 2 or 3 times. Really stretching your arms. You may feel a bit better after this.

Peace my sloggy friend, know you are not alone.

Display, just checking in to see how you are feeling today. I know the weekends are tough for you.

Know you are not alone and open you are strong enough to get up and get out today. Try a museum today if it is raining where you are.

Peace and courage

hi, thanks for asking me to check in.

i'm doing OK this morning. i do so love the early mornings when there is nowhere i need to be.

today i'm meeting my niece at a restaurant for lunch. here's a weird thing: i only seem to socialize with family members. i do have other friends but i guess partly i don't see them because they are not always easy to talk to about depression. it's weird but it reminds me of childhood. we kept to ourselves as a family and i didn't have many close friends. i guess that is an old pattern which i may need to look at and eventually break out of.

thanks for listening,

Isn't it funny how things stick with us??? Learned habits from the past... Try to stay in the moment. In the now so to speak.

Try not to let depression define who you are. It is a part of you, but it isn't the main you. You may be depressed, but don't let it run your life. One day at a time Display.

Have a good one sweetie...

Hugs, Karen

So glad you are well today Display.

I understand what you are saying about family friends. I forced myself to meet a friend for breakfast this am. It is very rare that I do this.

Peace
Trina
