kindness is easy for others in the darkness of depression.....especially when one has lived through some of those horrible pits of despair. it comes from the experience of living *through* it.....from surviving.
getting scripts---good!
going home to cry---good too....really! it is a natural release and sometimes we all need to give ourselves permission to cry and not feel bad, wrong or whatever negatives we might assign to crying.
seeing T---good, and probably frustrating as well from what you've been sharing here on board lately. going to go w/ the "challenging you" theory instead of the "don't give a F" theory.
how about not seeking any solutions right now? sounds crazy maybe but given how rotten you're feeling why not give yourself some compassionate slack in the problem solving dept.?
cry, be nice to you, try to eat something good for you, have some tea if you like that, take a bath if that works for you, play computer games, read trashy novels, comic books, whatever........but please do things that make you feel a tiny bit better.
treat yourself w/ the same kindness you'd give to a friend in a heartbeat.....you ARE that friend to others and others would have a fit knowing how hard you're being on yourself.
gently does it sid. slowly and gently.
