It gets better. I know you probably hear this a lot and you might not have that much hope in these words but they’re true. Some of us go through more bad days then we go through good ones and some days gets so bad you go to that dark place where there’s no way out it’s just you and your depression and it won’t let you reach out and ask for help, everything is just too much, the pain the unworthiness the fear, I’ve been there I have the scars on my wrists and thighs to prove it and I also have proof of the good days when I go to the store like a regular person after being chained in my house by agoraphobia for so long, I buy watermelons and chocolates and two big jars of Nutella that was on sale, and buy even more chocolates cause you can never have enough chocolate. I did that. If you’re reading this just know it does get better hang strong on the bad days and enjoy the good ones go outside eat your favorite food watch a funny movie, smile, I may not know you personally but I’m with you, and I’m sending you warm hugs.
Just thought you should know - Anxiety and Depre...
Just thought you should know
Beautiful... perfect
Yes, you are, S!
And you are!
Aww....thank you. I'm really feeling down on this gloomy, sprinkly Monday. I miss the beautiful, cool fall weather in Cincinnati...I miss the pretty leaves, how they float through the air / I miss the chilly weather, wish I was there / It's a time for hot chocolate and football too / It's a time to enjoy friends, especially ones like you!
I’m sorry my friend. Hope your spirits are lifted soon.
That you care is SO-O-O-O-O important to me, S! Thanks for being my friend!
🌻💛 💛💛
Both you and Star are beautiful. I have a hunch you're both stronger than you think too.
More power to both of you!
Have a blessed day, D!
💛🌻🌻🌻 thank you hun, hope you’re having a good week so far
Nutella........manna from God!
I hear you! When there’s a world with chocolate and dogs and cheese and Nutella and sunflowers and caramel coated popcorn there’s always a better day coming.
I paint things I’m thankful for on my bedroom wall. It’s crazy. Hubs doesn’t say a word. ☺️. I like new T-shirts too and fresh sheets. This is what I focus on while I lie in bed and my brain commits treason and lies to me.
I love this post. Thank you for sharing💛
You're an awesome person too, ya' know?
Lol I love this reply chocolate, dogs, Nutella definitely brings out my happy, I haven’t had popcorn in so long omg
Hi Baby Girl x Great picture 
Today's a good day. Boxes of Trick or Treat
Chocolates have arrived. I am not opening
them for fear of temptation
I've been decorating outside. Fall is in the air in
Chicago. The leaves are changing colors and look
so beautiful flying in the air. As I was driving today,
I felt a peace and happiness come over me "just because".
It happens to us Danielle. Embrace the good feelings when
they happen. Nice to see you here. Hugs Agora, xx
Well, every time I see a response from you, I smile! Fall is in the air and it was my favorite time in southwest Ohio. Out here in Florida it seems a bit lost on me....I feel a bit lost too sometimes....
But if you're somewhere where the beautiful leaves are changing color and blowing around in the crisp, fall air, enjoy it for me too!
In Virginia we’re having a dry spell. Our leaves are coming down fast. If you close your eyes in the woods it almost sounds like a trickling stream but it’s the leaves. Even Rosie the Bulldog holds still and listens.
Aww....that's awesome. I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic for fall near Cincinnati, Ohio. This is my first year without it.....
Hope you enjoy your fall days and nights....
It’s that time of year Agora Halloween than thanksgiving and Christmas I’m excited I’m one of those bad neighbors who start playing jingle bells early lol
Thank you so much for sharing this, Danielle. I've been having a lot of bad days, and I really needed to hear this today. Love you so much, my friend. 💛
I’m so sorry you’re having bad days. Sending you peace and strength.
Doaty💛
I agree with Neuronerd....I'm sorry you're feeling bad. Sending you all the hugs and good vibes I can!
I love you more sweetie I’m going to send you a pm
Okay ❤️
OMG I’m messy weeping all over myself reading this, and all the responses ❤️ I think I’m home...
I lost my home last November in a major fire. My entire IRL community, my routines. I’m now living a nomadic life in an RV. Thought I was dealing pretty well. Ahem. I’m just now realizing how thoroughly messed up I am: cannot sleep, emotional reactive, and apparently panic attacks (thought it was my heart/pacemaker - not.) I’m scared and confused.
Talk to us. Let us love you. What a terrible trauma you’ve been through. None of us do this alone.
Doaty💛
Thank you - please be patient as I don’t always have reception, as I didn’t last night. Now camping at one of my favorite soothing spots, a hot springs ❤️ I can feel the calmness beginning to melt all that tension in every part of me. A friend will be camping next to me soon, another nomad. I’m hoping we can travel south together 💞
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, that sounds really scary it’s a big change to what you’re use too
Love this post!! And the picture!! Amazing!! The support for one another is amazing too!!
Hey buddy, You can feel the support and love in these replies hope your week is going well so far hopefully Friday can hurry it up
I just love you to death ! Watermelon and chocolate ? oh my. Pam

Thank you that was beautiful and I really needed to hear that! 🤗💜
My pleasure sweetie 🌻💛💛💛💛
Thank you all so very much for painting such truly beautiful pictures with your wonderful words of Autumn. I have been thinking recently how sad l was that summer was over, lack of a warm sun, darkness approaching sooner. Not a good time for me always BUT reading your messages I am feeling your warmth and happiness. Thank you all. God bless you.
💛🌻🌻🌻 I love summer but where I live it gets so hot we can barely go outside lol I miss the cold
Hi 👋
Love the photo and the lovely post...😊
🌺🌹❤️🌺🌹❤️🌺🌹❤️🌻🌻🌻
I had to show my baby spidey, hey hun I miss you 🌻💛💛
Yes love spidey ❤️
Good to hear your both ok ! 🌹🌹🌻🌻🌺🌺🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️💕💕
Thanks for your support, alot of my problem is my adult daughter who is learning disabled, she had dyslexia. I'm so stressed that I can't get through to her. She won't do more for herself, most of my savings is gone living with her. She get defensive when I've tried to talk with her. I'm going to be 65 and I'll. I have Diabetes and don't know when but was told I'd be going blind, Macular Degeneration. The stress I'm going through is affecting my Diabetes.
(((((((Want2BHappy3)))))))
I also have diabetes and am 69 so we have that in common. I am retired and don’t have a lot of friends so I volunteer 2 afternoons at a hospital. I suffer from depression and lately am down. My motivation to keep house is nil! I have a husband that puts up with my ups and downs. He tries to understand me but he gets frustrated when I don’t want to cook and clean!
The same when it comes to house keeping. It drives my youngest daughter Crazy. She won't Help cause she says she didn't create the mess. I understand that, being depressed it's overwhelming. I try to explain that I need help, her come back is....it will go back to the way it was? Believe me I've helped her many times
Do she have any siblings close family members that might talk to her, what about you do you have any other kind of support dealing with this alone is taking a toll on you and you need to take care of yourself too. I know she’s your daughter but your well being matters too
She does, but because they don't understand her disability and she doesn't look disabled. (It's Mental) Their in denial and get mad at me??? This is inherited from her dad. There's no cure
Hi I have a similar situation my daughter was diagnosed I don't like to say it feels like I am claiming illness. But yes it takes a toll emotionally and physically on the whole family. My daughter has a twin brother and he says that I paid so much attention to her needs that I forgot about him. I have to allow her to feel comfortable because most days she can't control her mind although she takes 6 different medications daily. She knows that no matter what she can count on me and then I go and cry alone where neither one can see.
Thanks for sharing, people think they need to see a disability for it to be Real??? I worry what's going to happen to her if even family thinks it's Not Real? She's Not retarded, she has dyslexia and thinks differently. Things don't Click with Her as easily, so they get frustrated with her.
Wonderful post...you're 100% beautiful...now know it.. I miss you girl....we need to catch up....chocolate and watermelon..I'm in....sounds yummy for the tummy, ha! Spidey is gorgeous and a touch on the big side, hahaha...

Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs!
Haha he’s humongous lol we do need to catch up I miss you
I'm only 10 digits away! I hope you have your happy on...
Yepper doodles more dump trucks filled with groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs for beautiful YOU!
Love it you and I made it through the dark tunnel dog woof adorabale
Yessss we definitely did 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Very bad days here ...
Only klonopin will help and I don’t have anymore..😥
(((((((((Hug)))))))))
Thank you ... back at you.
Thanks... hope you will be feeling better soon.
I wish the same for you. Personally, I don’t see that happening here, I am a lost cause
I think there’s always at least a sliver of hope... I’m holding on tight to that small amount... but I know it can really seem we will not get better. Saying a prayer for you. And for me too. We are worth the effort.
Is there anything you enjoy? Allow yourself to do that today?
Unfortunately, I don’t enjoy anything anymore. I am now having trouble just showering and dressing in a timely manner.
I hear you. I’m sorry. (((((((Hug)))))))) I don’t enjoy anything either. I just live and work at home and go on and on for the ones I love. I hope though, always hoping that I can get a glimpse of joy and peace some time.
I take klonopin too! When I get panicky especially! I don’t like to take it unless I have to as it makes my muscles weak!
True petal, send some of that chocolate over here !! xx
Hi. Thanks for the uplifting message, Danielle. I'm glad you're doing well. Needed to hear that. I'm stuck in the house because my leg is in a cast, and I cannot make it down the steps outside lol.
Nutella...Never had it till last week. And I had it with little breadsticks to dip them with. It's heaven....
Omg it’s delicious right!!! I hope your leg get better soon and don’t worry it’s hot outside now anyway you should try the Nutella with pretzels so yummy
I love the way you think! Is that your dog in the picture? He is beautiful ! I don’t have agoraphobia but I’m retired and when I get depressed I am glad to stay home where I can sleep ln and not have to pretend to be happy! I do volunteer at a hospital 2 afternoons a week. Sometimes I enjoy it but when I’m down it is hard! Enjoy that chocolate! I love it too!
Yes that’s my big furry baby spidey , pretending to be happy is really exhausting especially since some people still don’t understand what we’re going through and it’s hard to talk about it, me and spidey go to our local hospital too, it’s nice you have something to do that you enjoy, what about the rest of the week I find that staying home makes it worse
It is hard to be at home! No kids around! Too much time to think!
My beautiful Sunflower & Spidey ... big hugs to you both & a ton of love. Great post & very true. Miss you & the others here... 💗 Thanks for this..
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I pray that over coming those dark days becomes the norm for all of us. God bless.
