How are you feeling?

Yesterday was the ultimate worst day, and today saw some spill-over. Still had a bad day fighting my depression, and I even canceled plans with my friend for tonight so I could be on my own. I didn't want to deal with alcohol and mindless chatter so I decided to stay in. I just want to get through this.

Hang in there. Hope things turn around for you. :)

As for me, I'm feeling like an insomniac, yet again. Why is that, when I have to be up early the next day, I have a hard time sleeping?

It's difficult to start again in another country. Maybe you just need time to sort yourself out with your brand-new surroundings.


Yes, a "black cloud." That's exactly what this disease is.

I give a crap about you and one of these days I will cross the ditch and we are going to meet. I like you, ShyKiwi, and I hope you know that.

Thank you Mikey. Even when you are down in a hole yourself you still manage to look out for other people. That shows so much strength and compassion. Very very rare. Hey I cant do much from where I am, but hang in there... get it all out online if you need to. We are listening. If you manage to make it across I'll buy you a beer (or two) :D

Thanks, portrait. :) Maybe your mind is on the activity tomorrow and you can't sleep because of the constant thoughts about it? That sometimes happens to me.

Well, it's not good to keep going on and on about my issues when others are hurting more than I am. Oh, I will get it out online, don't worry. :) I would gladly accept a beer off you, mate.

Eh, there's not really much happening tomorrow other than classes, trips to the bookstore and grocery store, and doing laundry. I'm probably wide awake because I took too long of a nap earlier in the day (despite getting about 7 hours of sleep the night before).

Naps will do that to you. Happened to me many times. Stretching and controlled breathing might help you sleep. Also chamomile. :)

I hope this depression lifts soon for you Mikey, hang in there ((Hugs))

I know what you mean portrait :/
I find imagining myself in a totally relaxing place helps when that happens. Like a peaceful rainforest etc. Then you are so busy creating the relaxing situation in your imagination, it eases the pressure to get to sleep. Sweet dreams when you do eventually get to sleep.:)

Someone commented on my blog saying that chamomile tea helps, but I'm not really a huge fan of tea. I wonder if there's another way to get it besides in tea?

Feeling hot doesn't help, either. For some reason, unless it's 20 degrees or lower out, the heaters in my apartment are just too hot for me, making it difficult to sleep. Then again, you'd think it would be in the single digits since it's January, but nooo, it's like we got a heat wave. =_=

Thanks, I'll try to do that. :)

That's not good. Your heaters give you a lot of grief.

We're not having summer in this part of the country. Overcast every day and temperatures not even reaching 30C, which is unusual for summer. Mildest summer in my living memory.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Conflicted. Alone. Frustrated. Emotionally detached, which is worrying.

My love of stand-up comedy and heavy metal music seem to be the only things getting me through things, at the moment.

My mum still trivializes my problems as though they don't matter. But that how things have been for sometime, now. A little compassion would be nice, but, given how she treats me most of the time, I don't think my mother's capable of that. I'll probably try making that appointment for therapy next week.

Sometimes it's the small things like this that gets us through the day.

What exactly is this game? I've seen this game mentioned a lot but I don't know what it is.

Hi, Mikey. * waves*

On topic...

I'm thinking about how I want to eat that disappointing 10 dollar soup...It's growing on me.

My body must be getting used to the cold weather, because there was a time when I wasn't able to walk around in 30-degree weather without gloves and a warm hat.

Relieved. Finally took care of all the stupid financial crap from my last college. No money due, I'm not enrolled anymore (which I shouldn't have been to begin with this semester. I told them that after they badgered me with calls, and they still never got it right the first time. :rolleyes:), got the money back I asked for a refund for nearly two months ago, and I finally received the money back from an account I cancelled last month too. *phew* Glad to know I have my money in one place now. I get really nervous when I can't keep track of it. :S

Also feel really gross and sick. Not sick in having a cold or anything, but just feeling really off and my digestive system feels screwed up. I think I'll take a probiotic and drink more water. That should straighten out my metabolism.

I'm really tired today too. Only managed 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night. Went to bed at 12am perfectly fine. Woke right up immediately at 1am straight into a panic attack with my mind and heart racing. Felt like jumping out of bed and running out of my room, I felt so paranoid like I was in danger or something. I have no idea what set it off. I'm still at a loss of what it was caused by. :confused: I haven't had a panic attack like that in a while, and never have I felt like jumping straight out of bed, feeling that paranoid. Took me a while to get back to sleep, then had to get back up at 6am to get ready for school. :/
