    Depressed

    Well AF day 18. Whoopee. The only reason I didn't drink is that my husband and I are doing this together, and i don't want to be the cause of his failing. He had taken a fall on his bike and went to bed early. i debated and debated. So Loooonged to drink. If there had been anything alcoholic (except the cold medicine) in the house, it've been gone.

    So took a couple of sleeping pills and went to be about 8pm. Woke up feeling the same way......

    I'm at work now....there is a couple of things I must get thru....and what the hell, what better place to be depressed than where they PAY u for the priviledge. Been reading MWO this morning. And for the first time since I started.....I feel DISTANT from you all. And that makes me further depressed because I've really enjoyed being here. Not just your support but, in my small way, supporting you too.

    I don't know. i wish it weren't sunny, shouldn't it be rainy and dark when one is depressed?

    Sorry to be a downer. Hell, I can't imagine feeling any worse than if I would have gone ahead a drank last nite.......

    Sorry.

    Hey I feel exactly the same way. Maybe it's just a magnetic field here in WA state, lol.

      Sorry you are feeling down. You two aren't some of those people who would complain in the summer in WA that it was "too sunny" that I had to put up with when I lived there are you? I haven't got a lot of advice to give as I'm not so far along, but maybe it is just the thing that happens sometimes when we reach a goal and we think "big deal" for some reason instead of being happy. Don't know what that is about. But I am proud of you for day 18. Go wave at the mountain for me. And eat some salmon - the fish oil is supposed to be good for your mood.

          Hmm. Interesting theory. Will I'm only about 15 miles from the border....maybe I'll go drag my hubby to ID. If that helps, I'll let u know. I don't know if where in WA u r....u may have to go to OR or Canada, but, whatever one has to do , huh? thanx hon.

          (((Louise)))

          I'm on the other side of WA so no salmon to be easily found....apples, idahoians, lilacs, I guess I can find someone from Idaho, make them eat an apple and spread a lilac around his/her body and see if that helps.....naw, too much work...but a heck of a visual...thanx hon.

          Actually I am a sun-lover, that's another reason it ticks me off to be depressed when it's sunny. Plus I think anger is the flip side of depression a lot, eh?

          Again thanx. Boy I am having trouble finishing tasks at work.......must be a computer malfunction........

            Love ur pic.

            I have to be so careful w/those. The dog keeps chasing them and eating them and then he gets sick.....is suppose cleaning up after Rocky is distracting....but as for lifting one out of depression......

                Depressed

                Hart, when I first started this program I would go up and down with my moods. Especially in the first month. All I can say is really try to stick it out and stay busy. Read, exersise, get a new puppy or kitty - anything. Later walk with hubby. Stuff like that. Maybe even consider an anti-depressant.

                Its really hard thats for sure. I'm almost a year and I still have my moments.

                Your reward is feeling great. No more feelin crappy in the morning. Headaches, fuzzy head, slackin at work, lookin not so good and just that general knowin you could be doin better than you are. And just so much more.

                Keep goin Hart. Glad hubby is in this with ya. : )

                  Heya Hart! don't feel sorry... this is the right place to find those that can relate and do care. I'm sure if you had gotten wasted last night you sure would have felt worse...in many ways. (not to negate the way you feel now....I understand). As Gabby said the moods will radically shift up and down. Try to stabilize your blood sugar if you can. I found myself eating more sugar than I used to and having terrible mood swings.
                  L-Phenylalanine, fish oil, inositol, GABA, L-tryptophan and lean protein are all helpful to combat depression. and the ultimate kicker for them: exercise.. even a little does wonders. Personally I think I'd get loaded on garlic and head over to Pikes Place Market for a little retail therapy...but that's me
                  type with you on chat soon...
                  ps. 18 days kicks ass!!

                    Keep sticking with it. You may have hit the end of what they call the "honeymoon phase" where you're all happy & giddy cause you quit drinking...yadda yadda yadda ....and then you get to the "now what?" and "is this it?". Give it time. We all have our good & bad days. Congrats on 18 days! That's great.

                      Lots of good advice here for you gals.
                      You are not distant from us Skendal and Hart.
                      When I write it's too all of you, without mentioning everyone's name individually.
                      Try PMing some of us, if you need some extra Tender Loving Care.

                        Hart, just as everyone has said here.... ride it out as it will pass. During my first few weeks I was an emotional roller coaster. I believe it was around where you are that I slipped into a huge depression. It only lasted 5 days - but it was pretty bad. I reached out in here and these wonderful folks helped me through it. Keep reaching out. You are doing so well, keep at it. I find my moods are still pretty erratic but it is par for the course. They say you can 'swing' for years, although it does subside. Hang in there and keep talking to us.

                          Your doing a tremendous job, Hart. Ride out the depression. It will pass. And give yourself a major pat on the back for being considerate of your husband. It's so great that you are supportive of each other. I hope you are feeling better today. Hugs.

                              As everyone else has said - this is part of the healing process although depression can hurt like hell and feel like it will never end. But it will. Drinking may seem like a good option but will only make you more depressed. 16 days AF is fantastic!! Keep sticking it out. Keep posting. We're all pulling for you.
                              :h
                              Rest in Peace, Bear. We miss you.
