Just let me lie down on this couch....
As some of you may or may not know, I suffer from depression - sometimes it gets pretty bad. Lately, the happy pills haven't been working all that well and the icy fingers of depression have closed around my battered little brain. Maybe it's the change of the season or the fact that Christmas is coming ever closer but I've been kind of in the dumps for the past month or so. It's so stupid really because actually everything is going pretty well but sometimes, well sometimes I just can't seem to stop THINKING. Sometimes I can't sleep at all and other days I can't see to get my ass out of bed for anything except a quick pee. Gad, I'm so tired of being tired. Anyways, all of this confession is for those people who keep coming to see me and who I feel like I'm disappointing if I go too long without a post (Piggy), the people I've "met" in the blogging community are wonderful people and I feel like you are all my friends - sometimes better friends than people I actually "know". So, just hang in there with me while I fight the evil depression demon and I'll be back being my silly self in no time at all.

Sorry to hear your feeling down.
Remember the old saying* you cant know the highs unless youve had the lows*
Take care.
Lost, oh I'm so sorry. I suffer from depression also. I know what you are saying, sometimes you want to scream at your brain to "shut-up!" Thoughts go around and around in your head, nothing you can control but things that make you feel powerless and well...lost.
I've taken up mediation to try to combat this - deep breathing helps a lot.
I'm here if you need to talk or just vent - sending you hugs and good thoughts.
I don't know aobut you for certain, but I know change sets off my depression. Whenever I move for instance, I'm depressed for months, last time, a year. Point taken, once I moved into that condo, how often did you hear from me? I was hiding from myself even. We both know you'll pull through, and we'll be waiting for ya. Potsie is still not returning calls, so I imagine I've pissed them off somehow and that's been getting me down a little lately, besides, your birthday is coming, you have to cheer up for that!
Keep doing the things that help and it will get better. Hold on tight.
