Depression

[Boxofchocolates]

Today I really struggled with feeling "blue"...I cleaned the kitchen and pulled a few weeds from the garden,but just felt lonely and sad. After wandering around the store window shopping so I wouldn't spend money, I went home and was very blessed to be invited out for appetizers with dear friends. I'm sharing this because friends save my life...they just do! So on a day that you want to just curl up and cry and stay in bed, allow your closest friends in to your space. Your hair may be a mess and your makeup smeared, but the love that they pour over you is life-giving! 💕

I'm so glad you shared that and so glad that your friends were there for you. On a similar note, I am somewhat of an introvert, so it rarely occurs to me to do the inviting. Maybe I shouldn't always wait for someone else to do the inviting. Remind me about that, won't you?

Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom. BTW, I love your UserName. "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get."

Keep your chin up and realize it is a big adjustment to go from working world to being alone and confined because of your disability. Remember we're just a post away so you never have to be lonely! You Are Not Alone in the way you feel either. Find something productive that you enjoy doing and or find new hobbies that's you always thought you'd like to try but never had the time for before. We're always right here. Holler at us as often as you need too. Take care until we speak again. Fancy.

Thank you, Fancy. I'm happy to still be working, I just had Monday off. I do agree that new hobbies would be a good thing, as well.

Each day I'm learning to trust God more, and choosing to worry, less!

What great friends!

I don't have any friends besides cyber ones. It's really hard to go out with them. Consider yourself blessed!

Anytime you want to fly over the pond, my door is always open 🤗

[jimeka in reply to mrsmike9]
