Depressed and tired
| Tue, 04-24-2007 - 9:54am |
I have been fighting a depression episode for awhile now. There were some issues going on a couple weeks ago that are calming down but I am feeling depressed and aggitated some. I am tired so much of the time. I guess it is the depression. I am taking my adderall, which is helping pep me up for a few hours of the day, but then I crash and am tired all over again.
I am trying to keep a positive attitude though. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Hey love. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I am sorry I haven't emailed back, I've been so busy at work, and Mike is always on the computer at night. UGH Teenagers!
You have been through this so many times before unfortunately, but that also means you know it will end. It sucks bad while its happening but it will stop. Keep the stress at bay as much as you can...and keep the positive thinking. Ur doing all the right things.
Email if you need me. I will email you my new cell number in case I didn't give it to you before.
Love you.

Tina,
Any chance this could also be tied to the surgery?
Hey Keli,
I got your e-mail and have your cell now...thanks. I am hanging in there.
Love ya

Hi Marci,
No I am recovered from surgery. It has been almost 3 months now. I was feeling no pain after 2-3 weeks and was a little sore for another weeks or so, but I am doing fine with that now. We have had real nice weather the past 4 days. It has been sunny and in the low 80's. I have had the doors open, with screens and I have been getting some cleaning done. I am just in a rut. My tdoc says it is all understandable but I hate it and I hate fighting the food addiction even harder when I am depressed. So, for now I am really struggling but I do know in time I will feel better.
My bf and I had a BIG BIG blow out a few weeks ago and even though things have calmed down it was a huge stress on me and there were things said I can't get out of my mind and I am going through alot of different emotions over my feelings and thoughts. Even though things are said out of anger I can't help but wonder if anything he said he really felt. I never felt so degraded and put down. It really is a long story. He was drinking and he has been sober for over 6 years. He was sober when we met. He started drinking and I left him for a couple days but the blow up was not good and he took my car keys and I had to get my niece to pick me up. She had to leave her job and come get me an hour away with all I could get out of here. After he sobered up he called me and apologized, and he called a counselor. That is all great but, he went to her and doesn't like her and hasn't called another counselor.

I am sorry about what you are going through.
I have to agree with your bf though....if a counselor asked me first thing if I have found God yet I would be like "UM, I'm OUTTA here!" I found a book that talks of ways to beat addictions without the whole "turning things over to a higher power" bit. I have read part of it and it makes sense....if you want I can get the title and author for you. It is based on self awareness and reminding yourself of what you will be losing if you continue on your addictive path.

Hi tk,
I totally agree with my bf too about finding another tdoc. The problems lies with him not even seeking another tdoc right now. I know money is low and he has no medical insurance. If you want to give me names of the books you read that would be fine. I can pass the names onto him and see if he is interested in reading them. He usually finds reasons not to do things to help himself. He likes hiding from the work it will take and he acts like things are better. He has been better but that is just until his next episode of deep depression. Maybe I should just give up. My depression is bad this week so I am not in any form to be the inspirational one for him. Sometimes he kinda makes it clear he doesn't need/want my help.
Thanks again,
Tina

Hi Tina,
I hope you are feeling better now. I know how you feel though. I've been fighting the same feelings for a while now. I know mine stems from me being out of work for so long and the reason why I've been out of work. It's triggered a bit of depression and my answer to it has been sleep and lots of it. But I'm trying to break the cycle because I know it's no good for me to slip into that rut because when that happens I end up getting worse and I just can't allow that to happen again.
Hang in there girl! You know we're here for you:)
Hugs,
Traci
