Depression, I have often said, is like an influenza of the soul. A spiritual hamthrax, if you will. I has it. Do not want ( Read more... )

I spit milk all over the TV when I first saw that Volvo commercial and now they play it All. The Time.

Also, sorry to hear about the anxiety your feeling. Sometimes it helps to step back from the computer screen and take a break. I was going through the same thing last week. Taking a breather helped me. I dunno. I hope things get better for you.

If it helps, it's not just you. This has been a really crappy brain year.

I find it interesting that nearly everyone I know that has some form of depression-spectrum disorder (myself included) have major self-pity parties leading up to their birthdays. Bah. :/

My worry is that said possible fit might continue to grow until it just snaps (also from experience- thanks, hospitalization-needing meltdowns!). Daylight savings times and general weather suck doesn't help, does it?

Yeah, I find this to be true. Anxiety to do with age aside, maybe it's also the expectation of focus drawn towards yourself? It's a difficult thing to examine.
So for this reason I'm glad/proud(?) Cleo can write about how she is feeling. It takes a lot of strength :)

Personally, mine's not anxiety, but a round of super!my-life-sucks!depression (as opposed to needs!hospitalization!depression or so-unmotivated-i-could-starve-to-death! depression), as a "Well, that was just a waste of a year. Why am I here, again?" And the whole "happy" birthday-ness - why does it have to be happy?

Word. I got up on my birthday this year and in about 40 minutes was like 'EVERYONE IS A BASTARD' then went back to bed for the rest of the day.

A lust for fragrantly whiny teenage girls...

For a split second I read that as "flagrantly." Six of one, half dozen of the other, perhaps.

On another topic: Hang in there? I don't really have good advice for getting through an Epic Funk Of Epic Gloom, but... well, my thoughts are with you.

Also: New computer with art is epic-win-level retail therapy, in my book! *grin*

have you ever considered what you're eating can affect your mood? I've heard consuming natural estrogen (like in beans) can help balance mood/aniexty
