I know drill to this:

Therapy
Self-pampering
"Don't be so hard on yourself"
Anti-depressant drugs
Praying
Chocolate & TV
Time

Probably the last one is the most logical. Time changes everything doesn't it?

After a short nap today I felt really down. Worried about upcoming events at work, worried about my mom, and just worried about LIFE! Just a moody afternoon. :)

Actually, after a nap I had today I felt really drained. It must be the energies. :( I hope everything turns out the way you want it to and that your mom will be OK for whatever reason you are worried about.

Yeah maybe the moon. Mom lives nearby she is old (95) and getting frail.

She's doing ok but at that age everything aches once in a while. My bossy sister lives there so I try to visit her when "the boss" is not around.

Is it almost a full moon? I tend to lose track of it but, that is most likely the cause.

I'm not sure what to tell you, as my mom passed away 2 years ago at 59. But I do understand your worry. I used to be worried about my mother all the time because my brothers didn't treat her how they should have and I think she became a little depressed.

I can't deal with bossy siblings. Is she older than you?

Good morning...Living with UC seems to exacerbate all the other life problems we have to deal with, so your certainly not alone, it's no fun when everything seems to be overwhelming.....hope your feel a bit better tomorrow.

Thanks Poppie and others. "kat" my sister is a year younger.

Tonight the Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc is helping more than any mesalamine enema ever could. In a few minutes I'll stuff myself with fresh cooked chicken, garlic, rice, green beans, and maybe even a dessert?

Every morning I try to "kick" the UC out of me with strong coffee. It usually works, and then I start all over...

Thanks again for the replies.

Just wanted to say sorry you are feeling down! Must be the moon or something like that going on. I'm really struggling myself. Having lots of pain today and I'm worried about my Dad....just had major spine surgery this morning. Surgery went ok, but one (hopefully) minor complication. For me, I'll just say, I feel like crap because I can't. Guess I'm just trying to let you know you aren't alone!

Hope you are feeling better soon!
