I know all the right things to do but I have been through too much lately and I just can't seem to get a handle on my life again. I guess I have pushed too hard physically and mentally this week and I have been having meltdowns here and there, some despair I can deal with.

But not today. I keep crying over everything. I tried many non drug self helps and finally resorted to a very old scrip for xanax. i feel stable, just so very sad and hopeless.

And yes, i live in one of the very cold states and can not get out for a walk even if I made myself.

I'm sorry. I hate when I feel that way, like I just can't dig myself out of it no matter how much I want to.

I know what you mean about knowing what to do and just not being able.

The best thing for me is to find something funny, rent a stupid movie, anything just get laughing...try this....

Hope that got a smile! Hang in there, this too will pass.

W00t W00t that was pretty funny...

Gardenwishes...

I know the despair all too well...I spent about 3 yrs in hell with massive depression...was pretty much just a shell of a person...dont know why the hubby didnt take the kids and run...

I have often been rode the emotional roller coaster...its not fun by any means...but it can be beaten...

The depression and despair...it can be beaten..but it takes a lot to do it...took me couple of years to do it myself...

But there will always be rough days...just keep putting one foot in front of the other...take it one day or event one minute at a time...

Hang in there ok

Christine

Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road...
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid
