Stupid Stubborn Me

Well I am sorry that you were feeling depressed but am glad that you are feeling better now that you logged into mylot. I know what it is like to feel down in the dumps, and a little bit paranoid, it's an odd combination but I can definitely understand it.

Sometimes when we're feeling low, we have to force ourselves to do something. I suffer with Clinical Depression, and when it's bad, I'd like to stay in bed all day, especially when my Husband is at work. However, I have a very good friend, and he keeps a close eye on me. He texts me most days to see what I'm doing, and he can always tell when I'm low. At that point he tells me to get out of bed because he's coming up for a coffee. If the weather is nice he'll take me out for a walk, and if the weather is bad, we have coffee and he talks to me about why I'm feeling low. Some days I can't explain why I feel low, but he always manages to make me feel better. It just takes us a little bit of energy to force ourselves to do something, and then we start to feel better because our minds are engaged and not dwelling on the fact that we feel so low.

I am glad your need to Mylot got you out. If you are feeling low, getting too hungry will make it worse. It is good to get out, breathe some fresh air, see the sun, find something yummy to eat. I am also glad you have friends here on MyLot.

hi nope you are not stupid, never stupid, but you arelike the rest of us my lotters human. and we humans can really do a huge number on ourselves. we look at the celebs and moan oh I am so fat not slim and cute like Paris hilton or some other dubious celeb. we are a heck of a lot tougher on ourselves than anyone else could ever be on us. smile you are not alone. I also come here feeling stupid and old and no go but mylot and all my wonderful mylot friends cheer me up immediately. I am glad mylots helped you already. It has been my lifeline when I came here to Gold Crest, not wanting to be here but with my son losing his job, and us being evicted and moneyless we had to find places for the two of us to live so I came here and my son with gov.help ended up at Hope Haven with three other men all out of work too. so it was tough for me to accept so mylot became my refuge.yes I second that Thanks God we really do love our mylot.

Good for you that it is better now. Keep it up. Do a smile and think of how sweet a person you are, all of it, from head to toe. Leave the past where it belongs, in the past. It is always a boost of spirit doing something that you enjoy to do. If myLot makes you feel good, then com'on in.

it's happy to know that you're now uplifted. avoid thinking that you're stupid or something, that's a way of degrading yourself in some way, yes it does happen especially whenever people are depressed. but in order to overcome a certain depression problem you have to try and think positive despite all negative aspects.. and avoid being insecure as well. mylot and your mylot friends are always here.

I hope your day turned out okay. Reflection can be good for the soul. We are all human and we tend to do stupid things and then wish we could have do overs. I have severe depression with panic attacks. Panic attacks are very scarey. I can relate to your feeling of paranoia. Again, I hope your day turned out better than it started.

you sound like you are feeling down. hope mylot is making you feel better. if not get in touch with me. i have been there!
