i haven't been on for a few cuz i have been gone. Like anyone really cares though. I am not having a good night. I am feeling like a big ball of emotions right now. Sadness, confused, not really caring at all. I'm havin a f it attitude right now. I am agitated and depressed. I am trying to do some coping mechanisms, but they aren't really helping. I really hate the depressive side of this damn illness, it REALLY sucks. I feel hopeless in my fight to feel some sort of happiness. It feels like a dark tunnel where i cant see the light. I am sick of people saying to me.. just snap out of it. Oh that makes me so mad when I hear that.

I really hate that phrase! I hope you feel better soon. It sucks being down for too long.
Purely my personal opinion, I'm not any kind of physician.

When I hear "snap out of it" I think " snap out of giving crappy advice punk head". Unfortunately the only away I've found out of a depressive episode is through it... Sucks! I like to watch slap stick comedy when I really feel my crapiest- I feel better at least in the temporary moment- and that's better than nothing... It will pass and we r here to support u until it does!
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran
