Deep Depression

[flump1]

Ok so right now I am low and got to thinking why ? Not why me, more why must I be happy? Why must I take tablets that sometimes don't work but have side effects? Why must I try and put on a smile ? Where is the bloody law that says I have to be happy? Why can I not just be a complete miserable cow and be left alone?

Flump, look after yourself and be miserable if you want. Others will have to deal with it. I hope things pick up soon, but do go back for help if it gets too much for you x

I hope that looks how i meant it- I'm using your words, not describing you as miserable :-)

Flump - I've been where you are, a long time back, where I didn't know which way to turn, and everything, everything, was an effort. You wrote that you are fed up being fed up - which is actually a good place to be, you know where you are at. Stick with it - you don't have to smile, just get through each day until you feel the downs lifting just a little bit, then make the most of those little good bits. They will get more frequent, even when you're not looking. You're talking about it, and that, IMO, is a good thing.

I agree, boxy. I've been there too. You need to take one day at a time and be gentle with yourself.
