I'm Falling Again!!!!

[tigrou465]

I'm falling again... I feel it. I have been out of the hospital since January 16; so far I have been in the hospital 4 or 5 times in the last 18 months and I don't want to go back. I did speak with my best friend and I did promis I would talk to my psychiatrist and I would try to do things for myself. So today I got up around 11 o'clock - I did not sleepin the whole day. I took a shower - last time I had a shower was Sunday!!! I went out to buy some stuff I needed. I'm still feeling down but at least I made somethings today. I did make a deal with my friend: if I'm not better next Tuesday, I will go to the hospital. Meanwhile I'm trying my best not to go... Hope my efforts will be worth it... One small step at a time! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Tig,

I have read about how hard you have been working to treat and overcome the depression. I am glad that your best friend is supporting you. You did a great job today by making the effort to get up and get out.

Keep taking the small steps and don't give up. Keep writing when you can. I'll be here listening.

Deb

Hi My heart goes out to you. Those baby steps are really giant steps for how lousy you really feel. I am glad you have a friend you can trust and talk to. Take care of you.

Baby steps go a long way! You hang in there, you haven't given up. I'm rooting for you :) Easier said than done I know. Sometimes it's 2,3,4 before I get to sleep. You done a lot today and that's great. Well done...

I feel for you. You did a good job today, give yourself credit. Sending you prayers

You did really well today. Those small steps make all the difference.

(((Tig))) my friend.

As others have said baby steps, some days, taking a shower is like climbing Everest, but you did it. Be proud, be kind to yourself.

I once said I was stuck in a dark tunnel and I couldn't see the end of it, they replied that the tunnel wasn't straight and that the light was waiting just around the next bend. I'm hoping the light for you is around the bend and closer than you think.

Candle burning to send you light

Thanks to all of you... today Friday I saw my T... all I was able to say was that I wasn't feeling good, very depress and keep on crying... My best friend is coming over for super so I know I will eat... Today the sun is out, so I took a small walk with Toyota.. he was so so happy when we came back he gave me kisses!!! Poor thing I did neglect him in the last few days!

(((Tig))). Remember to be kind to yourself.

Friday and look at what you achieved.

• Out of bed and dressed.
• Going to your T appointment.
• Taking Toyota for a walk.
• A friend coming for supper.

Sweetheart, for me that is a good day. Be proud of yourself and give Toyota a hig from me and tell him he is a good doggie.

Thinking of you and wishing you peace
KP.

Hi tig! I'm new to the forums so I don't know much about you. From what I can tell from this post you have done a lot today. I went into deep depression in 2008-2010. It isn't an easy thing to go through. Much less getting things done. You're doing a great job. Keep up the hard work! ((hugs))

Oh Tigger. :(

Congratulations on taking the steps to try to take care of yourself and your doggie. I'm glad you told your T and that you're trying to take care of yourself. (I can hardly eat during my down periods.) Take it easy, and baby steps; and remember WE CARE ABOUT YOU! <3
