it's been quite a while since the depths have been so familiar...
so sad that the tone of p-b (med) has changed of late.
sad that akc has taken a break.
but mostly just that awful, awful pit, the sadness that has no name.
hoping it will dissipate into the night, but who knows?
could last for days, or weeks - sometimes it becomes so familiar, it's not noticable anymore.
like a scar on your finger, or your knee.

I am just here. relatively new to the pb board, getting to know your name, hoping you are reading and trying. I was approaching the 'untrying' frame of mind today. How come it helps to read that others share so much?

Yes, the pain of depression can linger on so
long that it becomes part of the tapestry of
ones life. Do you live alone or do you have
a husband who can support you emotionally?
I know how it is; this "thing" that unhinges
peoples' lives. Please continue to
keep in touch.Glenn

Dear Kingfish,
i am very worried. What is going on? What has triggered this descent into depression? Do you know, can you tell?
What can you do to wrestle down the beast, for it ain't a scar, for sure? please, do not get used to this. stay alert as much as you can, call for help.
PB has been 'different' lately, true. I try to take it easy. It's a public place here, flareups occur, people come and go, the best stay. I see good people keep posting. They are like clean stepping stones in the puddles of mud here and there. Do not let other people's troubles affect you so deeply, aggravate your soul state. You are a creative person, a delicate person, be delicate and choosy.
much love
mila

Well, if you're a very private person, like I, it helps to know that other folks are willing to open their hearts to help others and themselves. (I think).
Very glad you've come to the board.

Thanks, Glenn - see my post to you on the other thread when you have a chance.
Hubby is here and poor thing noticed yesterday. I'm sure he's tired of the roller coaster, too...

Thank you, Mila, I am a bit better today. Some of it is meds. I am still not settled in with a good mix.
I just needed to vent a little. It scares me when I feel it coming. But I just switched AD's and it threw me into a manic episode, so I don't think I can go on anything stronger right now. It's all very frustrating - back and forth with the moods, sometimes worse than before.
I am concerned about you, because I noticed that you were being tested for cancer. Your posts have helped me so, one in particular when I was having trouble with my marriage.
Please let me know how you are.
- K.
