God's promise of a new day. - ALCSS2008's Diary
View Profile My hope is that this becomes a written record of my recovery. I have been in a two year nightmare cycle of pain that I can't seem to get off of. I have a loving family and a close circle of friends plus a career which I loved and would enjoy going back to. My prayer is to return to my old life as the new more gentle, understanding and compasionate person I have become.

My depression is gaining on me.............

I wake up in the morning and I see the sun, but my world is dark.  It only takes a second for me to remember everything that the night allowed me a few minutes of peace about.  I couldn't sleep.  I was up from 4-6.  Finally got up at  7:30 and went downstairs.  I have no peace about anything.  I want my husband with me every minute, like I can't function without him.  I have never been like this before.  I have always been independent and strongwilled.  I used to put my three kids in the car and drive to Georgia (12 hours) for the weekend to see my sister.  Now, I don't like to go to the mall by myself.  I don't even sit on my own porch.  I am so sad.  I want to do better and be happy, but I can't.   I just go through the paces, doing what is expected with no inner feeling at all, but all the while I am smiling on the outside.  Everything is getting on my nerves.  I don't want to talk to anyone, listen to the radio, watch TV.  I cannot stand noise of any kind.  What is there to do?

Sandi, I haven't heard from you in a while and I hope you are ok. I haven't been on much lately. I have had a really painful time and all I want to do is sit around and watch tv or nothing at all. I don't feel good at all. Usually this time we are fishing and planting a garden but I don't want to do much right now. Monday my dad wanted to go to an auction which is something we both enjoy but I didn't feel like going I hurt so bad. I also missed church on Sunday and that always makes me feel bad like I didn't get my batteries recharged over the weekend. I haven't seen where you've been on very much either and I just hope you are doing ok. I know all this can get very depressing and I am hoping the sunshine and spring will help all of us liven up a little. Miss hearing from you. Jan
