When you feel good you get heaps done but when things get bad the simplest of task become almost impossible.  You are continually fighting with yourself to get out of bed. You can live with the good days but the bad days are extremely difficult.  You just get soooo tired.  love other comments wp http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/84326/tiredness http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/71778/special Thu, 21 May 2009 08:18:23 -0400 wisepossum this is just a special thanks to all those members who have responded to my share posts You are fantastic and without your help many people like myself would not be coping or around keep up the good supporting this is a valuable site. love wp http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/71778/special http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/71348/tears-pillow Mon, 18 May 2009 00:40:29 -0400 wisepossum I havent been sleeping real well the last 2 days after my  spinal block  for lower back pain.

Of knowing life is never going to be the same and moving forward and letting go. Do others feel the same http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/60883/crying-spilt http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/59540/depression Sun, 15 Feb 2009 03:27:09 -0500 wisepossum how many of us who suffer depression then feel guilty for being sick.   Then you get angry with yourself for being sick.

You tell  yourself it will pass it is only a moment in time.  Start picking on things would not normally bother u things get foggy and you go around in circles. Tell yourself stop being silly reality is you have all these wonderful people in you life get on with your life  but this invisible force wants you... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/59293/stop http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/55111/dealing-grief Sat, 10 Jan 2009 07:29:23 -0500 wisepossum An overwhelming  sadness comes  when I see a dead bird on the road. Or an ambulance move slowly away from the curb after rushing to a house but only for a moment. For it then reminds me how precious life is and even when times are hard and weird  life is a journey. You make decisions everyday. When to wake up  when to go to sleep. Whether to do the dishes whether to ask for help or your strong enough to do it... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/55111/dealing-grief http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/54985/depression Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:43:52 -0500 wisepossum  once youve gone to hell and back   sometimes just opening your eyes takes courage.  Courage to face another day and the strangeness that happens around you.  Remembering wat you are allowed to do to wat you arent. You are fighting for your life. The right to live and that takes courage. Be thankfull for every moment you are alive and always remember your spirit. http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/26663/54985/depression
