Sometimes I stay home from work because I have a “headache”, when it’s really because I just can’t face the world. I end up with a headache in the end, so it works out. That was my day Tuesday. After my lj post on Monday, the obvious depression I was having, the extremely sad section of the book I am reading and the lonely night, I just couldn’t

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so crappy. I thought you were doing better, but I know that depression can hit suddenly. We spoke about this a bit the other day, but you should talk to your doctor about complementary treatment with a mood stabilizer or other anti-depressant. Do a google search for treatment resistant depression, and you'll see a lot of info about it. *hug*

(I also take sick days when I can't face the world.)

The crappy only lasted for three days. Now I just have to get the hyper-active, ADHD, skin crawling ecause I have to do something feeling under control. I don't remember this when I was on this med before. Maybe because it was 10 years ago and I was till young enough to have those issues on my own without noticing the med was making it worse.

My sister lives in a similar mindset as you. She's diagnosed as bipolar, has several chronic diseases, and will need medications for the rest of her life if she is to remain at a "level" state. It still isn't always enough. I think if she didn't have her kids, she'd have killed herself a long time ago. So to answer your question, yes, some other people do live struggling, day in and day out, just as you do.

I used to get mad at people who said they were suicidal, based on my own state of mind the one time I thought about it. A film called The Sea Inside changed my mind, along with some discussions with Thomas

I have a psychologist and a psychiatist. So I am pretty much coving all my bases. This was just a three day bout of sever depression. Not so bad all said and done.
I do have wonderful friends, and since I have totally blown them off almost completely over the past year, I'm trying to make up for it.

My lj access is limited at work and I never get on-line at home so I am sorry that I am just now getting back to you on this. I was out of town, Sunday and Monday. So I see that Today is out like you said, but if you have greading I would be for the coffee shop on Thrusday. (I have a book so you would actually get something done.) Please email me or call. Don't respond to lj. I dont' know when I will be back on here.
