Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear the gold ribbon in support of all of our little heroes fighting this mons..." (FreeMySoul14)

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Is This Depression

Feb 22 2012

I feel depressed these days, I think I'm cycling b/c I feel alright early morning when i wake up (5 am) I love being alone while everyone is still in bed, i drink my coffee, go on the computer, but then after my son goes to school and i'm alone I go downhill from there, i'm soooo tired so I have a nap the i'm in and out of bed for most of the day (listening to my relaxation stress management EMDR CD, I may read, pray or meditate, then sleep). I've been doing this now for at least a few weeks or more, I just don't want to do anything I'm not interested in anything, I don't want to be near anyone I want to be alone i'm isolating too, been somewhat restless and irritable and I know at times i'm mildly mixed. My pdoc increased the dosage of Abilfy (from 2.5 to 5 mgs) a month ago hoping this would give me more energy, not sure if its helping doesn't seem to be. Hoping this is just a phase and will pass soon.
