Just when you think you've got yer schmidt together,

[crim son]

something happens to prove it isn't true. Ever had that happen? This time I'm paying no attention. My brain will return to normal when it's good and ready. :wtf: I hope.

1. Hey

Thanks for reminding me to take my meds. :silly: :crazy:

[crim son]

2. Yeah, maybe that's it.

But I had a good night's sleep! You take your meds and maybe we can talk sense into one another. :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

3. Took them

But I didn't get hardly any sleep. So I doubt I'll make any sense today. Not that I ever do. :rofl:

:hug:

[crim son]

4. Yeah you do. Mostly!

I went to bed and was asleep by midnight which is rare. Then I went on and screwed myself up royally. The thing is, it's so normal now for everything to be a catastrophe that I'm barely batting an eyelash. You could learn something from me. NOT! :rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

5. I'm beginning to feel the same way

I'm starting to hear Pink Floyd singing "Comfortably Numb" playing in the back of my mind. Is that normal? :shrug:

[crim son]

7. I believe so, completely normal.

It's a stage we pass through until we gather our forces and can deal with reality. Even if we don't pass through it, it sounds sweet, doesn't it?

6. That usually happens to me when I DO remember

to take my meds.

I have no idea why people like to get high. I can't stand it. x(

[crim son]

8. Sweet Thom, I'm not high on my antidepressants.

But I've lost the will to cut myself. That's a good thing :)

[ThomCat]

10. That is good.

Come visit and I'll make a huge pot of gumbo. Gumbo is an anti-depressant. :hug:

[crim son]

13. There will come a time in the future when I'm free to do so.

Then, watch out! You might find me at your doorstep, begging for okra.

[ThomCat]

15. I'll be ready!

:7

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

12. Me either (high)

but I'm thinking that mine aren't working very well. Shouldn't take hours to find a reason to haul my ass out of bed, should it?

I'm glad you aren't hurting yourself. That is a good thing. :hug:

[crim son]

14. Last time was the last time.

I've never been so sure of anything in my life!

[ThomCat]

17. I hope so.

If you slip or backslide, PM me and talk, please.

[crim son]

19. I'll take you up on that.

My depressive episode was purely situational and I think I've learned how to handle the worst feelings i.e. go to sleep and wait for them to pass. Or, eat jellybeans. But I can feel myself rallying and I'm grateful. Thank you, Thom. :pals:

[ThomCat]

16. Depression sucks.

I'm usually so hyperactive, but because of the chronic pain there is a cycle now. Sometimes I just can't bring myself to move, care or bother. I'm actually getting to the point when the depression is an old friend. I recognize it when it starts and I can just hang on until it passes.

But even knowing that it'll pass doesn't help when it's here. Everything is gray, and nothing matters. x(

I don't take anything for it because I know it's pain induced. I need to deal with the pain to deal with the depression. I won't take any more meds than I already need.

I just surfed your MySpace page and left you a comment. I think I subscribed to your blog too (I should verify that). :)

[BarenakedLady]

18. Thanks

I don't blog though, just list whatever depressing song is on my mind at the moment. lol.
