Hey all. Been away a couple days. I’ve been traveling.
I’m pet sitting at a friends house on the OR coast. This gig I do for free because I want the opportunity to be close to the ocean.
I’m hoping that being so close to the primal energy will help blow out some of my depression.
I’ll send pictures when I can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Envious for sure. Almost jealous. But happy for you most of all.

Please do.

I love nature and it’s my anti depressant, anti anxiety and ptsd helper all in one.

I currently feel pretty good, but was in a dark place a few times over the long weekend.

Holidays can be tough. My wife and daughter are estranged so it’s especially tricky to Navigate.

I hope everyone on this thread is doing ok. It’s a Monday…

Monday sucks sometimes, just as depression. I don't know if it's depression or something else, but it sucks .A lot of days it feels like no matter how much or what I do, it's never enough. Other people tell me it's just life, but life shouldn't ignore you when you ask a question and they're too busy looking at YouTube or tiktok to stop a second and answer a question. I've held too much in for too long and it's getting harder to hold it in. I missed my isolation this year and basically have over a years worth built up inside. Sorry for rambling, time for work.

God, do I know that feeling. It seems like the same people that want to dump all their problems onto you ignore yours. It's one of the reasons I'm seeing a therapist now, I don't trust anyone in my personal life to be there for me. Granted, I'm having to do a lot of the work myself, but it helps to have someone that is actually willing to listen and not invalidate your concerns. Being ignored is bad enough, but when they act like you have no reason to feel depressed.. the one that pisses me off the most is "you're a MAN, you have no reason to be depressed! If you were a REAL man, you wouldn't be!", I have heard that one from several women!

Feel free to reach out to anyone here if you want/need to.

Thanks, will see. Gotta a pretty good person in my dm that I chat with a lot. She helps a lot taking about stuff.

This is the place to ramble and vent. Be welcome.

It’s ok, bud. You can vent all you need to here.

Mondays don’t help any.

But at least it’s hump day and we’re halfway through the week. Hoping for better days for you.

Expected at MIL this morning to blow leaves and it's 20 outside. I'll get to finish decorating sooner or later.

I veer between wanting to throw myself into the abyss and edging away from it slightly. But for the last year that abyss is very much in view.

What helps me is working out. Some days, esp after the election, it's hard getting out of bed. But I force myself to get going, then I start feeling better. A relative passed this week & I couldn't make it to the service. Which is probably why I said fuck it earlier & bought some wine. But my step count is over 7k avg so I'm not going to beat myself up.

 

[Representingmyhotwife]

Im always there for my wife, yet she says she doesn’t feel happy around me. I don’t know what to do. I would love some suggestions and help.

I guess giving your wife to other men isn't working.

Trying to stay positive

 

[forgotmyantidepressants]

I've really been struggling lately. Self-destructive thoughts are getting hard to resist

Hope you guys are all hanging in there

 

[Wonderer67]

Urgh. Terrible dreams from Iraq. Then another bad dream.

I am visiting an old friend that I was deployed with on Friday. He was almost killed in Afghanistan. I had a dream about him last light.

Intellectually I know nothing would have changed it. But I keep having these terrible feelings of guilt why I didn’t stay in. Again, I know it wouldn’t have changed anything.

I’ll shake it off.

Came in to a department that looks like no one's worked it for two days. I've asked one of my managers cave I write up the whole department for what I'm finding so far. He's not talking to me today yet. Damn i need a break from life.

 

[Wetkitty09]

My time at the beach is going well. I’m trying to live in the moment and not let my depression and anxiety keep me in bed. Some days it’s all I can do to get out of bed.
Stay safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Bassytian]

Keep up the good fight everyone. I know it’s hard, I’ve been there and I probably will be again many times, but fight and live for even the small pleasures in life. I won’t promise things will get better when I’m uncertain about my own life, but it’s those small pleasures and hobbies that keep me going, I know they can work for you too.

That being said, god I hate this time of the year. When you work with the general public, you see the worst in people during the holidays, and they are already assholes during the rest of the year. There isn’t much that beats “adults” acting like children over Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. No wonder my hair is turning gray so fast. I don’t care about that really, I think I would look good with some “chrome”, but I have got to get out of retail before it gives me a heart attack. I don’t think I have another year of this crap in me.

 

[ccs29745]

I keep wondering how long before I snap. Some people you can't please, but for each one, there's 10 who are thankful for you being there, just remember that. We are thankful you are here.

 

[Wetkitty09]

I’m so very thankful for all the support here. Checking in on this thread is one of the things I enjoy each day.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Can I tear something up. More I do, the more I have more to do. I need to decompress a lot and I can't. Hope everyone else doing good today.
