> Up then Down, I'm so tired.
Hi Lexie
I know what you mean. I feel like I can never make plans because I never know in advance how I will be feeling. I miss being able to depend on myself. And it really does make you tired in every possible sense of the word. I think the one thing most people don't understand about depression is that it is physically draining. I hope you're feeling a little more up by now.It was nice to chat with you yesterday. I must have seemed a little rude. After I left I realized I spent most of my time talking about myself. Chatting is a new experience for me. Even with only a few people I can never tell for sure who is talking to who(m?). And I hesitate to ask questions because I don't want to seem nosy. But I enjoyed getting to know you a little bit. I thought it made the "posters" seem more like real people, didn't you?
Is there anything in particular you think is making it more difficult right now? The time of year, the holidays, the weather, and family on the way are all adding to my stress level.
I hope I give up is the way you feel and not an actual plan. Are you thinking about changing meds? I notice you posted on the regular board instead of the PsychoSocial?
All I really have to say is Don't Give Up!! Life has a way of surprising us sometimes and a real change for the better really is possible if hang on long enough.
