To ask for help from you

I suffer with depression, today is a really bad day, I feel truly awful.

Hope you start to feel brighter soon.

Seniorcitizen I’ve had depression a long time, I take medication and have tried to take my own life and ended up in hospital. I’m not asking for a cure but reaching out so I don’t feel so alone, cat pictures and jokes that might make me smile and brighten up my day, hearing from someone who has been here and can say tomorrow might be a better day. My depression is very real I assure you.

Holymountain thank you! What a gorgeous kitty!

dont know why didnt post

What do you call a shoe made out of a banana skin?

A slipper.

Those kittens are so cute!!! I bet it’s difficult to say goodbye when they find a home.

Love the jokes!

I suffer too.
Today I have forced myself to do a good tidy, put stuff in the loft, throw stuff away, find home for new things, it was hard work, I'm worn out. But, I feel good now, a good clear out can be cathartic.
I've got a pile of my clothes to sort & put away next, I'm going to watch a film while I do it to keep me going.
Hope the black dog lifts a bit for you soon!

You don't have to justify how you are feeling to anyone, my love. It's okay to not be okay.

Here are my 2 furballs having cuddle time. They pick me up when nothing else can. Sending the biggest of hugs your way.

That’s a great day speakfriend! I started decluttering and did really well for a few weeks but have stopped now, will put a film on and try to clean living room, at least that’s one nice room then.

Thank you stardew, what beautiful cats and a lovely photo. I had a cat who was the most amazing soul, unfortunately my son developed an allergy and the cat had to be rehomed, I miss him every day, as does my son but maybe he’ll grow out of his allergies as he gets older

@Seniorcitizen; thank you for your insight.

senior not helpful but it's true, op sorry that you are having a bad day. daft joke for you why did the chicken cross the road ?
to get away from KFC -awful i know esp.as we are veggie.

@Sandbox There will be better days and it won't always feel like this.

Is there anything that usually works as a distraction for you? Trashy telly, drawing, phone games?

Ok, so not a joke, but choose one small thing to do, and then do it. Whether that is changing the towel in the loo, or something larger. Each day is made up of small moments. Once you have achieved a small thing, choose the next small thing. Even if that thing is not the most necessary/urgent that day. If it makes you feel some sort of achievement do it.

meant to ask sandbox,have you spoken to your gp about the problem? the main thing is to take each day as you go, do what you can,and pat yourself on the back for the smallest thing you achieve each day. i have bi polar and it is like wading through treacle sometimes so don't beat yourself up. put some dance music on sing into a hair brush, pull silly faces in the mirror, have some daft as a brush time if you can
