Hi all-up and down as usual. I feel weird sometimes about posting when I'm feeling ok, as it defeats the object. Am being stupid again? Feel like crap tonight, sitting here with no one to talk to, OH is having a hard time and all my friends have gone out without even asking me along. With friends like that whats the point.

I know what you mean, i feel ok this evening but this morning i didnt know whether i was coming or going. Its nice for you to be able to post here no matter what you are feeling.

Tulip,

Well done for seeing the Haggis :j :T

I love Haggis, its a bit like faggots. Do you like faggots, only Haggis has more oats in it. Its lovely with swede mashed with carrots and mash potatoe. or Haggis and chips the list is endless.

Did you win anything for seeing the Haggis?

I've been up all day, everything was going brilliantly then one bit of bad news and it messes me up. Its not like it was something terrible or anything, I just wish I could control my mood better. When bad things happen I'm straight down, if only good things could put me right up there it'd be better. But they don't. Whys it easier to feel down than up?

I havent a clue, all i know is that i can relate to all that you say. Yesterday my dad said something to me that wasnt really upsetting, yet i get myself in such a state over it. It doesnt take much for me to fall. A ex-friend once said depression is like slipping down the neck of a wine bottle, very easy to do, damded hard to get back up again. Not sure what to do with myself tonight, so just hanging around ere really. Arrrggghh i was to live again, im sick of just existing.

Lots of love and hugs

Hi Meyore

Sorry to hear you're not doing so well hun. I understand what you mean about posting when you're ok, but it's really good for the rest of us to hear sometimes. I like to read posts where people are talking about the good things they're doing

*hugs*

I know exactly what you mean. I always feel out of sorts when good things happen, I'm just waiting for the next time the pooh hits the fan. I think sometimes, it takes effort to feel good. Depression does that. It sucks at you, and takes and takes until you feel as though you're never going to be happy again.

Something good happens, and it's like... ooh, that's nice... but then inevitably, something bad will happen, and you're back to square one. More often that not, the 'something bad' for me, is just my own mood. Going back down on it's own. I think that's just the effect of depression.

Really hope you feel better soon hun.

Thats a good way of describing it.
I know how you feel, I'm sick of just existing too. I'm sure I've put myself in some sort of self imposed prison here. I'm locked in my room with no social life or anything, but its my fault. I chose this. My OH is stuck in the same situation, but its because hes in the army training and they impose it on him. I feel selfish when I think of it like that. I'm determined that I'm going to do something with myself tomorrow.

I'm feeling a little better just for sharing to be honest. Its been a really good day, I just need to get over the little hiccups I think. Relaxing listening to my music now, I'm sure thats helping
Thanks
