I had a couple of days off, my son is away spending vacations at the beach with his grandpas, my boyfriend is away, and had to work, and i had a long weekend but couldn't go to see him. \nI spend most of the time watching movies i rent and some in TV, TV series, and sleeping. I waked up late, take a shower, went to shop one day, to order my courtains the other day, and to buy groceries and buy something to eat the third day.\nI slept at day, and couldn't sleep at nigth. \nEven today in the morning i had problems to wake up, since i sleep so much yesterday at the afternoon that i couldn't sleep at nigth, till 4 in the morning.\nI have to say that i cried about two or three times, and i was looking for anything fun in the TV, since anything sad or cruel made me cried and feel bad.

No, you are not depressed, you need to wait for thirty days with the symptoms to get diagnosed as clinically depressed.

Yeah, I've just always had trouble sleeping, and seem to function a lot better at night.  It's not like I hate the sun, or anything, but when I'm not distracted by everything else going on, I feel a lot more relaxed and focused.  In fact, I should be doing my homework at the moment...oops.  Little too relaxed. :)

I had a really wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.  I got to spend time with my family, and it was really special.  My grandmother died two years ago on the day before Thanksgiving, and this was the first time I have been able to be with all the family for Thanksgiving since then.  We all had a lot of neat memories and stories to share of Grandma and of my great-grandparents too.  I learned a lot of family history, and it was really great that everyone was so open about their feelings.  I also got to meet my cousin's new fiancee and see my uncle's new puppy and look over my parents' remodeling job on the house and visit with my brother about his job and eat so much good food.  I had a great time.  I was just really sad that my sister was not able to make it for Thanksgiving.  I have not seen her in 2 years and was really looking forward to being with her again.  But I was so excited to find out that she is expecting and couldn't travel because of the morning sickness being so bad.  I am so thankful for the wonderful time I had with my family this Thanksgiving.

Registered Nurse Here; Well hun, I think most of us feel this way from time to time, however when this starts out numbering the good days.  It would benefit you greatly to see a Physician, your family doctor, he or she, may decide with you to try a medication or they may suggest a psychiatrist.  Not sleeping well and crying spells are two classical symptoms of depression.  I know  your having a hard time, and there is no need for you to suffer to this degree in the era of medication and modern technology, you can be helped and assisted to feel better.  Please seek medical/mental attention,  there is MHMR, or a family practice doctor.  Both of these can put you on the road to recovery.  Thank you for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.  Please seek some help.

I have been alone for the holidays for a couple of years now and yes, it can be depressing -- when I allow myself to be (was actually feeling it a bit today, myself).  In the past, I chose to make the day about myself and being good to myself with all of my favorite things -- food, movies, a good book (great wine) -- include those things that you love in your day.  A day to -- first recognize the holiday, of course -- and then pamper myself and appreciate all that I do have rather than focus on what's missing.\n\nSome people deal with loneliness by giving to others -- I plan  to spend Christmas this way. Others need to take care of themselves before they can give to another.\n\nSpend your day by doing those things that are important to you. If spending time with your son is important and he happens to be with his father's family -- then make it about your son and plan/create a fun surprise for his return.

Not the whole night, but almost the whole day and half the night. Pretty miserable. My 17 year old had been examined at our pediatrician. We had already been to see an endocronologist that day for a suspected thyroid problem. That doctor had sent us immediately back to our pediatrician. He ran a few tests, examined him, and generally acted extremely grim. He kept shaking his head when each test he did came back negative.  He told us to go to the Emergency Room for xrays and to see a surgeon.\n\nThe surgeon came into to see us moments after she had seen the xray. She was very kind, but said that she could not help my son. We were, of course, pretty alarmed by than, but no one was saying anything to us. Just lots of kindness and grim looks. Our pediatrician called the Emergency Room and told them to hold us and not allow us to leave. He wanted to make some phone calls to see where the best place would be to send us. It was close to 9pm by that time. The next phone call from him was equally frightening. My son was being sent to a major hospital about 2 hours away. We were given the option of transporting him ourselves instead of by ambulance. This whole time, he was fine. We were all just sitting around, bored, exhaused and alarmed.\nWe didn't even stop to pack clothes or tell anyone where we were going. It just totally slipped our minds. When we got to the major hospital he was admitted through the emergency room. They were waiting for us. Two doctors began an  immediate workup and that was the first time I heard the word cancer. He had lumps in his neck, groin, armpits. We were in total shock.\nBut, of course, the news just got worse and worse. I do not know how we made it through that night. At about 2AM he was still having tests and procedures. He had tumors throughout his body. He had multiple tumors in the abdominal cavity that were weeping and had caused his belly to be bloated with fluid - 40 pounds of it. One of the worst nights of my life.

I hear where your coming from.  You have cone to the point in life when you feel no longer like superwomen.  I felt the same way. now i'm 48 and new disease's is what my doctor has discovered. Lupas, diabetes and everything else is going wrong. I have depression too, I feel isolated.\nBut my feeling are like this, God is in Controll of my self being, even though I've had to slow myself down quite a bit.\nI have learned to seek out Nature, take pictures, paint\nshells and leave a few for other people to find on the beach. Especially the kids to find something pretty that they can take home. do things that give back to nature.\nYou will feel yourself at your very best. I wish you well, and let happiness shine thru you. Prayers to God will really help you to get ready! God Bless you Spiritually!

Feeling kind of down, actually.  My High Priest committed suicide just before Yule.  Now I have no one with whom to do rituals, and may not do any.  If I had some wine, I'd probably get drunk, but I don't feel up to going out to buy any.  \n\nSelf-pity is destructive.  I think I'll do a purification ritual after the sun goes down tonight.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry. Here's a virtual hug.*HUGZ*\n\nTry to think about what you'd like your life to be like. Then think about the steps to take so that it gets there. There is no problem that can't be conquered, and all situations are only temporary. I promise things will get better. \n\nWhat really helps me when I feel down is long walks. The exercise helps relieve stress, and the quiet, rhythymic time helps calm my thoughts. \n\nI'd make funny faces at you but you can't see me!\n\nGood luck, I hope you feel better.\n\n\n\nOh, and misspinkbox is reported. Let's see how superior she feels now.

You go sister! Parents need to get away sometimes. You should had done it earlier though cause the first time I ever left my kids, I cried all night, wondering if they were missing me. You don't want that to ruin your weekend. But do not feel bad. Everyone does it and its healthy for you. My dr even told me one time, to find a sitter and go out. I'm a stay at home mom. He said that he makes his wife do it.

If you feel that bad, then call out. You aren't going to do anybody any good if you go in feeling like heck. Take the day off, stay in bed or curl up on the couch and watch a good movie. Have a bowl of soup and get some rest. Tomorrow you will feel better and can return to the grindstone.
