One step back. I hope it's only a step. Sometimes when I feel bad it feels like it's going to last forever. Sometimes it last for a day, sometime two, once it went on for three years until they found the right combo of meds for me. I just don't feel good. I feel like crying and staying in bed. I'm going to a depression workshop today.. maybe it will help ????

Let us know how the workshop goes Crispy. I hope it is helpful for you. If nothing else, it will take your mind off of things and give you a break.

I hope your day goes well...

Hugs, Karen...

Hang in there, I promise it does pass! I just takes longer some times. Find some distractions skills such as music, walking, drawing painting, coloring, adults are doing it big time now.

Give yourself mini-vacations and go to the movies...

Peace and strength

The workshop itself was disappointing. Basically a lady read a powerpoint presentation to us. It was all stuff about depression that I already know. The only good thing I could say is it got me out of the house. Oh ya.. and only one other person attended besides me. Anyway, I am feeling better now. I still have my low moments but they aren't consuming right now.

I want to say thank you to you guys for being there for me. It's not always easy for me to reach out but I feel safe here.

Sorry that workshop was disappointing - but like you said, it at least got you out of the house!

I went to a seminar that was supposed to be about S.A.D. a couple of weeks ago and it ended up more so being an overly enthusiastic lady talking about how depression is a choice... it was horrible.

Glad you're feeling better Chrispcat. I'm walking backwards myself today. Sigh.

JRF007 - Isn't it frustrating when you end up feeling worse for going to a workshop or seminar? GRRR!! I can't believe they told you depression was a choice!
