suggestions, pretty please...

According to you chart,
:physically you will be able to sit on your arse.
:Intuitively you will know that sitting on your arse is the right thing to do.
:Intellectually you will know that sometimes one must sit on ones arse.
:Emotionally you will be perfectly happy sitting on your arse.

Yes you are right, I am full of it.


If this damn connection drops out one more time I`ll bloody scream. Shit I`m pedalling as fast as I can.

Often there are times when I just want to lay down under a tree and let everything go--my worries, my responsibilities, my life...everything. Sometimes I barely have the energy to feel anything, and I feel as though, as much as I fight, I'll lose no matter what. The drowning image, as people have previously stated, is a common theme in my life; as day fades into night, waves of just everyday things seem to overwhelm me and yet I'm so far from the shore. In short, I know the yucky feeling lol.

When I feel this weight, I usually write. I don't go through all the bells and whistles, clearing time and finding a place. I just pull out paper, or turn on the computer and write whatever the hell pops into my mind as fast as I can. It hardly ever makes sense, and the sentences are rarely grammatically correct, but afterward I feel almost strengthened. I essentially scribble out the weariness.

I really like your nic, Melodiosa.

I write sometimes. And goodness when I do... I get even more sad and cry as I'm writing. lol It can get pretty bad. I hope you don't feel down all the time.

Boy do I know that feeling. If you ever feel like Pming or talking here even, feel free. Another friend is always welcome!

Hi Skye,:rose::kiss: Mel,:rose:
It seems we each have our "thing" that drives the darkness away, for me it was gardening, it gave me some sort of control, I guess now it`s Lit.
"To just sit and let everything go"
Been there!
I think it was the closest I have come to a total breakdown, the thing I find interesting was that if I had ,had a breakdown it would have been a voluntary one, self induced if you will.

Skye hon, do you have a "thing" or are tears and writing your "thing"

*Hugs* No, I don't feel bad all the time luckily. I've been dealing with the deepest depression I've ever had to deal with, and it is only recently that I took up writing creatively again, even though I'm an English major, and mainly because it does give me moments of peace when I get the words out.

I'm sorry you feel even worse after writing. I wish I knew how to help you, though I know how hard it is to find something that will soothe the turmoil within. But definitely, I extend the same offer to you that you extended to me: contact me any time, if you need someone to listen. I'm also on AIM and yahoo as well, if you would prefer that. The screen names are in my profile:)

Also, I love your nickname as well! It's perfect :rose:

Thank you sweetly, for the kind offer!

I don't always feel bad when writing, but it does release a tremendous amount of emotions! When I usually write in detail of my feelings, be it love, anger, sadness, something funny... I really let it out. Bad thing is, I've always been an emotional person. I feel too many things too, sometimes.:)
LOL A cheesy movie can make me cry as well as a great song.

I hope you continue to post here and keep coming to visit. Don't be a stranger. ;)

*pout* :( And where might you be?

You keep some funky hours :p

Ain`t that the truth.:confused:

But right now I am right here just hanging around.:rose:

Quoll, what's up with this? LOL ... are ya hiding? We keep missing one another here!:p :rose:

Have you ever been tired? I mean just tired. Not physically tired, but tired of it all? I'm struggling more and more to get through every day. I was on an antidepressant for over a year and went off it. That was almost 4 years ago.
I have since left my husband and moved on on my own. My entire life has been a struggle. And it seems to be catching up to me to the point I feel like I'm drowning and can't swim anymore and just feel like slipping away.
My children are the only things in life that keep me going.

I have a career that is slowly taking off. And I like it alot. My predicament is this...

I want to do something about it. I don't want to be this way. But I cannot afford the cost of a doctor or the meds right now and need to know if anyone out here in Lit land can suggest something they have tried with some success and pass it my way. I cannot keep going like this.


Please.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear, financial reasons are, in the words of the therapisis my son and I use, not acceptable. You must move heaven and earth to get the help you need because the cost of not getting help will far surpasss what you put into getting help.
There are sliding fee services based on your income, and most places have students that don't bill insurance, therefore they are able to charge like $20 or $30 a visit. You have to do it...don't let this suck your beautiful heart right out of you. Please???

If you don't know where to start looking, try your community services pages in your phone book. Try your insurance company, if you have insurance. They will give you every last drop of info you need to get started. Try the united way, womens services and actual pyschotherapists offices, they don't mind referring you to someone you can afford.

The best to you!
