Just how depressed/depressing I allow myself to become. The cycle is neverending. The rollercoaster doesn't stop, and there is no cotton candy anymore. The long and winding road has too many curves and hills and steep dropoffs and quite frankly I'm in need of a tank of gas.

((((Joan)))) I don't buy into your thinking that you've "allowed" yourself to become depressed. It's not something we can decide not to experience; it's one of those things that happen to us. I am, as you know, a firm believer in the combination of therapy and medication. Even with those valuable tools, I have bouts of depression, anxiety, and panic. The thing that I can "allow" myself is not fighting the bad feelings when they come - feelings are what they are, and aren't open to being changed.
You're working again, right? When your benefits kick in, I'd look into trying medication again, at the very least.
Just MHO, take it or toss it, sweetie.

When I can't pinpoint one thing that has caused it, it's just this overwhelming sense of doom and gloom and ohhh woah is me crapola. I can't find one good thing about my life right now, nor the people in it. Including my children, and that is just deadly wrong.

What color are your childrens eyes? Do they sparkle?
Hang in there Joan. It will get better.
