I am soooo tired.

[cmd]

Along with tired comes depressed. I'm adding another thing to the list of stuff I can't do any more. I can't even put away groceries. I hate these things that are growing in me.
This is the first day in a long time that the depression has gotten a hold on me. I've got to do something to get me out of this funk. Any suggestions?

i felt a need to come in and read your post, and i need to not just walk out again, even though there really is nothing i can say.

i am so sorry, that you are so tired and feel so bad.

i hear ya, anyway.

i feel you.

2. I wish I could offer something that would help.

I can only offer up my best wishes. I would suggest taking some walks outdoors, but maybe that would be too strenuous? Perhaps trying a new indoor hobby, like knitting or sewing?

3. Listen to some music?

Some music has a physiological effect on me and can lift my spirits. Enya, particularly, is good for this. "A Day Without Rain" and "Shepherd Moons" are especially effective.

4. When I was down and tired after radiation to my throat, I'd go to the

grocery store and take a motorized cart and slowly go up and down the aisles. I wasn't eating any solid food, but I sure did look at it! I would just image what things tasted like and how I was going to eat them again.

So go to the movies or just nap. I know depression is hard to fight.

5. I do love those motorized carts.

I know I get some strange looks from people when I'm riding one. I try to look as healthy as possible when I'm out - make-up, nice clothes, a smile. People just don't know that I couldn't walk to the end of the aisle and back.

I'm out of my down mood today. Thank goodness it didn't hang on long. I decided it was because my toenails were too long. I felt so much better after I did a little pedi this morning.

Thanks, everyone, for being here. cmd

6. Glad to hear you're feeling better...

...and your post brought a smile to my face.

7. Remember the Beatles, Helen, Hell On Wheels

When either my husband or I have to use one that song gets stuck in my mind. Long toenails can make your feet hurt. When your feet hurt, you feel sad. I am glad your feet don't hurt and make you sad now.
