Sometimes when a depression hits, I feel that nothing I know and have worked so hard to learn works for me. But, deep down I know that isn't true. And I'm always so pleased to learn it works for others.<br /><br />Maybe, sometime, you'll let me know what was useful to you.<br /><br />Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-63957899966557849472009-09-25T10:47:14.237-04:002009-09-25T10:47:14.237-04:00@Music For Cats- First of all, you know i think yo...@Music For Cats- First of all, you know i think your name is awesome!

In fact, for me, things are getting much better.<br /><br />Having said that, I experienced one of the worst depressions ever last year, but I'm hoping it was just the darkness before the dawn.<br /><br />I'm glad you've eaten and bathed.

The 'have done' list helps us feel that we have accomplished things, rather than makes us feel worse for what we did not get done.<br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-87698370492467538632009-09-24T19:55:39.359-04:002009-09-24T19:55:39.359-04:00I feel bad so many of you are suffering from depre...I feel bad so many of you are suffering from depression too. <br /><br /><br />I managed to eat a tuna sandwich and took a long shower, and washed my hair.
