Please stay safe @LumberJack and know that you are cared about here. Also, try not to lose faith that things will get better. Hope you dont mind me saying that. *console
I don’t mind you saying that at all. I know that my feelings change so I try not to act on them impulsively. My success rate is around 30% but it is improving…

At the same time, I still feel pretty much the same this morning.

I don’t matter. I’m trying and trying but it’s all I can do to slow the rate at which I deteriorate.

Not bad today. One person in one job really messed me around, but things have gone quiet for a little while, so am now back working my other job as well. Joys of being a contractor doing flexible work on various platforms, I can choose when I work at least, mostly, apart from meetings with clients and the upper echelons who hold purse strings 😆 Also got out for a run earlier.
 
Like I need to cry, there is a lot of stress, good and bad. I can feel the build up, and I want to release it, to have a good, cleansing cry. I don't know why I can't, I suspect medication (antidepressants and a mood stabilizer) may be a part of it. I suppose it will happen when it happens, just hoping that it's not at an inopportune or inappropriate time, triggered by something small. I've been reliving misunderstandings, some recent, some not. Unproductive, but still it's there, and generally reminds me of my faults, shortcomings and bad choices.

But otherwise, things are ok. I'm with someone who loves me. I have shelter, food when I want it, and I'm in fairly good health for my age. I could be more active, but we've planned to start walking for exercise.

peace

I do need medical attention. My nurse is screaming at me to go to ER. Problem is, I can get an ambulance there, but I've no way to get home.
Do you want to start a thread about this? We may be able to think of a way for you to get back from the hospital. No guarantees it would work, but I don't think it would hurt. Like I can think of a couple things right now, but I'm holding off on mentioning them because I don't want to make unsolicited suggestions.

It's also ok if you don't want something like this. I hope things can get better soon.

Thanks May, you are kind.

I'll work something out.

Glad for awareness of having some choices despite being depressed. I can nudge myself along gently, rather than having black and white thinking to be grateful for some of the bit of strength I had in the past. In particular I'm lucky for not giving my savings away to my partner. If I'd given in to that request I'd be completely up **** creek.

I feel angry and scared at the same time. My anxiety keeps spiking, and then I start to worry that I am in trouble for something. Then, I realize I am an adult and I don’t have to be afraid of that. Then, I feel angry because that brings up past memories where my failure to watch out for that resulted in me getting hurt. That shouldn’t happen to anyone. Not an adult, not a child. Even criminals are given the chance to tell their side of the story. Punishing any human being without telling them so much as why, let alone giving a single warning, is flat out cruelty!!!
