Depression. It's a silent killer.

Hope everyone is well. I'm doing well today, just finished the latest chapter of my story and submitted it for approval and publication.

Finishing and submitting a work is exciting, but it also makes me nervous, wondering how well received it will be. The chapter I have been working on is a special one as it marks the end of the first half of my series. Got some exciting stuff coming up that I'm eager to work on... after taking a couple days off so my mind can relax.

While working on this story, I have come to enjoy writing the dramatic and battle scenes as much as I do the sexual ones. It's become a tale of good verses evil and my elf character is going through a hero's journey. He's toughened up, but he still has a long way to go before he becomes the hero the world will need him to be.

Anyway, writing this helps gives me a reason to fight my depression. I want to see this story through to the end. And what happens after this one is finished? A new story of course!

It really is, I take meds to help me sleep on nights when I work the next morning. Otherwise, I'll stay awake until 1-2 in the morning, and my shifts start at 5.

Speaking of work, I'm glad I'm off today and tomorrow, I feel like I may be coming down with something. Been knocking back Dayquil and Vitamin C today.
 
Hello. Insomnia is a bitch. I don’t do well on less than 5 hours of sleep. Fingers crossed I don’t chew someone’s head off.

Be safe out there.
Love you.
you know which song you should check out ;) , if you haven't done already. hope last night was better.
 
Jan and Feb have been rough. But I know spring is coming and Summer.. I know she will come back. Please just stick around one more day. Because even if tomorrow sucks there will be a day that you look upon and smile. I promise.
I have found that tomorrow never comes, it is always today to deal with, hoping for a better tomorrow but it is always the same shitty day today.
Take care

Yeah, that's a hole I've been stuck in too. Please try to be kind to yourself, I hope you can talk to yourself as you would to your best friend if only a few times. it honestly does help.
 
Morning. Had an argument with my insurance company yesterday. It sucks when one agent tells you that this thing is available but the next one tells you that what you were told is not available. Ugh!
Be safe out there.
Love you.
 
Just saying hi to everyone on this thread ☺️

Sounds like my experience with Verizon Wireless every time I call them. I eventually got tired of it and switched mobile providers.

Still sick but getting better. I went to work today and only slightly regretted it, wore a mask just to be safe.

Verizon sucks.

Hope you feel fully better soon.
 
Hello. I’m going to a local protest this afternoon. I’m hoping that meeting up with a community of like minded people will help me feel like I’m doing something and that I’m not alone.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
 
Man, it hit me hard this week. I had a PTSD dream, then the whole next couple of days I was in a bit of a fog mentally.

On Tuesday, I could feel it, but was not sure which way it would go… I felt sorta ok and wrote a poem about it.

But it should be hard Wednesday night all day, Thursday. Lots of anxiety and some really significant depression. I found actually going to work to be a good distraction.

Today I got outside and did a lot of form work. That’s also always helpful.

Hang in there all.
 
Today I’m dizzy with low blood pressure but yesterday’s protest was worth it. Connected with people from all over the valley and saw some friends as well.
I’m not out of the woods by a long shot, there was some relief for an hour or so.

Be safe out there.
Love you.
