Depression. It's a silent killer.

I am undatable, and "finding my tribe" hasn't worked out either, so I find purpose in writing. Granted, it doesn't always keep the "brain worms" away, but it keeps me here for the time being.

About my meds, I have an appointment on Monday, but it's not looking good for the ones on my "green list". Why did I even take the stupid test?

I do agree that finding your group of people can be difficult. And it seems like it’s gotten more difficult post Covid.

Why do you feel that you’re undatable? Feel free to send me a PM if you’d like.
 
Feeling a bit better today, thinking of filing an appeal to my insurance about my meds, but I get the feeling it’s a waste of my time.

At work this morning, I was thinking about how depression, or mine anyway, feels.

Normally, it manifests as either sadness, indifference, irritability, or some combination of those and others I may be leaving out.

But, when it got so bad that suicide felt like my only way out, it didn’t feel like I was in Hell. It was more like Hell was crammed inside me. Crammed inside my mind, heart, and soul. The agony is just as physically painful as it is emotionally and mentally. Everything, even your personality, hurts.

Anyway, that was just a musing I had today, I get them randomly at times.

That’s a really interesting insight, thank you.
Glad you’re feeling better today.
 
Off to the beach today. Getting outside is one of the ways to keep the depression at bay. Going to the beach with three kids isn’t my favorite thing but they will enjoy it and that helps me enjoy it too.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

We're hoping for the bikini shots. :)

Enjoy the day!

Hope you wore a suitable sundress with the minimal undergarments as is the prerequisite 🥰🥰🥰
 
A good relationship without sex can be a relationship with anyone. A significant other should be significantly more. To eliminate sex in that significant relationship, where there once was, it taking away from the relationship.
I second that.
 
Morning. You ever make plans; looking forward to seeing friends. Then the weather turns to rain and it feels like they choose their comfort over your friendship. I’m willing to endure the discomfort to see you. Why don’t you afford me the same courtesy. Ugh!
We’ll see how it shakes out. The decision hasn’t been made yet. Fingers crossed.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

People suck these days, well a lot of them do anyway. There isn’t much that is more invalidating than people not putting as much effort into the friend/relationship as you are. Hopefully you were able to see them.
 
The camping is still on. Yay. Heading into the hills tomorrow morning early. I’m glad they decided to go after all.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
 
It’s not ideal, but we’ve managed to negotiate a reasonable price for my medication. It’s on my “Green List”, which means it’s the least likely to cause horrible side effects, so hopefully it will help.

This is good news. I hope you have a good reaction to the meds.

I'm a transplant from California now living in NC. been here about 10 years. Married a local girl. Happily married. But I find making friends here to be very difficult. I don't feel like I fit in. Pretty much an outcast wherever I go. Never had that problem before
Some areas of the country can be pretty clicky and in more rural areas most people have been friends since kindergarten. Keep trying hopefully you'll make friends.
 
Back to the daily routine. It’s the hardest part about vacation.
Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
