Lots of stuff is upsetting me, I need to stop watching the news for one. It seems like the world is just one big mean place sometimes and right now I don't have the energy to fight back the evils of society.
I don't have my T for a long time, my daughter is sick with a cold and having asthma problems because of it. My dog pulled his groin and need pain meds and muscle relaxers.
I think my DH is just sick of me because I can't do anything, he said he understood, but there is so much anyone can do when they have to do everything. I feel like I have no right to be depressed, I am a mother and wife, I have responsibilities and I am not fulfilling any of them.
My last class and final is on Mon. I need to shape up and stay away from the computer so much. I think I am taking advantage of being depressed a little too much, making it as an excuse not to do anything, but I don't really don't feel like doing anything. The Prozac is working I think, but I am nowhere near at least 80%.
Sometimes like seems so frickin hard and you get tired of living because it is too hard to live. I am not suicidal, but I am sick of living my life right now.
I think yesterday's EMDR session brought up some stuff from the past that makes me feel so lonely and insignificant. We did a EMDR on that feeling and I started to feel it really well from the past, but then I went blank and blocked that feeling out completely, all in one set of EMDR. Maybe now that I am writing out this what has become my journal this morning, maybe it comes down to what was stirred up in therapy. ick

I know a hug isn't much but hopefully it will give you a little smile.
You don't want to know what is going on in my life, it's too depressing so I won't go there. I've only seen my T one time in 6 weeks and I don't know when I'll go back, I'm hurt and angry at her.
I know how it feels to want to be one of your T's kids. I've felt that way so many times.
Take care and best wishes!LadyBug

Sounds like you are plain fedup, HF. Could a change of scenery help? Maybe think about arranging to go away for a day or weekend somewhere, by yourself if preferred or with a friend or hubby. Or, if you can afford it, an afternoon at a spa for a long massage and pedicure or something, something to relieve you of the pressures you feel.

hey happyflower,
I am sorry that things are so tough right now. It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate, and not much support in real life. maybe instead of going to T for the next few weeks you can make a date with yourself or with a friend for a lunch out and a trip to the garden center.I am really getting into gardening. It's lots of fun, and I think good therapy too.
Remember that if you're having a really crappy time, you can call your pdoc in an emergency too. sometimes it helps just to talk to someone who's trained to listen.
best of luck at your endeavors, and try not to be too hard on yourself.
-Ll

Take care, HF, I know exactly how you feel. A little vacation is a really good idea. Just try to take good care of yourself and not worry about whether or not you're doing things right at the moment.

Happyflower know this isn't much but you're functioning at a pretty high level from other posts. Bet you feel better later today or tomorrow? I hope. Love Phillipa

Thanks everyone for all your support. I guess I am just getting sick of almost everything in my life right now.
BUt being able to take care of my sick daughter, makes me feel a little useful now. She has been taking care of me which i feel guilty about, but now I can baby her.Maybe I need some exercise or something, I haven't been doing that much for the last 6 mo. plus I gained a lot of weight, I look like a round ball with arms.
Sorry I am not able to give so much here, I am just frusterated with myself and don't feel very useful at the moment. Feels like my body is just existing like an empty shell afraid to be crushed.
I called my T to be on the waiting list just now, I should at least try. Well I did and their life answering service answered, said they won't be in the office till Monday. I guess I will try to get added to the list then. This all sucks you know.
