The Seasonal Thing and a Decent Day

At some point in my wanderings the last couple days I saw an article about depression actually increasing this time of year. Now I can't find it- I wanted to link to it.. heck it might have been HERE! Anyway I just skimmed it and thought... wow.. I just wrote about that. Well -- I'm somewhat normal in my abnormality Tongue And to think, I've always been rather fond of my oddities.

 

Another decent night of sleep last night.. 7 1/2 hours about. I'm still kind of... "I can't take it anymore.." at work here and there.. but for the most part I've been able to distract myself.. it's essential I force myself out of the bed and into the world ... but it's soooo hard.  Next week I have to... get my bridge put in (dental) get carpal tunnel surgery and get the darn Mammogram... how did that happen to get scheduled all at once? Oh well the CTS was supposed to be this week but I had to put it off.. I was too bad off.. and I didn't want to be in that state of mind and being put under... 

 

I saw this work at an etsy shop along with another work andI loved it.. it just jumped out at me and made me feel good. I couldn't buy it this week but the lovely artist has agreed to reserve it for me until next week. This is silly but it is very hard for me to ask people for anything ... even something like "I guarantee I will buy it if you reserve it for me" seems like a lot to ask... but people are constantly reminding me how rarely they are actually mean...:)

Anyway I'll be paying for it on Tuesday and hopefully within the next couple weeks I'll have it hanging up as a reminder of that little message and to make me feel good. I think I'll hang it right here in the living room near the computer desk the colors are right and it's where I spend a good chunk of time every day :)

HELLO WENDY, I ENJOYED READING YOUR POST AND I LOVE THE PAINTING...I MUST LEARN TO LET GO....THAT IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME. I DONT WANT TO LET GO EVEN WHEN I KNOW I HAVE TO. ANYWAY, I POSTED A COMMENT ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR AND INCREASE OF DEPRESSION, I THOUGHT I SENT IT TO YOU, I DONT LIKE SUMMER, DID YOU HAPPEN TO COME ACROSS IT???  I GET SO LOST ON THIS SITE, I HAVE SENT COMMENTS TO OTHERS POSTS AND I GET THEM IN MY INBOX. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK DEBORAH GRAY OR TERRI ROBERTS , I THINK IT WAS ONE OF THEM THAT WROTE THE ARTICLE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. ANYWAY, I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK, IF I DONT HEAR FROM YOU, ONE OF MY BIG PROBLEMS IS, I GET NO E-MAILS FROM ANYONE...I AM VERY LONELY EVEN THOUGH I AM MARRIED AND I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER AND HER 2 GIRLS. MY MIDDLE DAUGHTER JUST MOVED DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME...I THINK I  CAN BE LONELY IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE.   AGAIN, GOOD LUCK.     JENNIFER TURNER  RJT1963@WEBTV.NET

Hi Jennifer-

I saw your comments, thanks for them. When I'm struggling to stay above the worst of the valley of depression I tend to get very self centered. It's so awful because it makes the cycle even worse, if I push people away then of course they won't want to be bothered with me.

 

I know what you mean about being lonely in a room full of people. I know that's how I often feel. I think internet groups and forums have probably helped save my life.

HI WENDY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY SOMETIMES RAMBLING POSTS. IT HELPS ME TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE FEELS THE SAME AS I DO. RIGHT NOW I,M UNDER A LOT OF STRESS, AND IT MOSTLY HAS TO DO WITH MY HUSBAND. I GET NO SUPPORT OR UNDERSTANDING FROM HIM. IT SEEMS WHEN I AM AT MY WEAKEST AND CAN NOT ARGUE BACK WITH HIM, HE TORMENTS ME WITH HIS NOT SO KIND WORDS. WELL, ANYWAY,I WILL OVER COME AND FEEL BETTER SOON. THANKS FOR WRITING TO ME......JENNIFER

Where did you find the art piece I would love to have one of those hanging in my office above my computer.  Somedays I really need that insparation.

I bought it from an artist (altered diva/Karyn gartel) who sells their works at Etsy..

It's an original so there isn't another one like it..  I'm not sure if she's making prints of it or not. She does sell a variety of similar works
