AFK for a while?

I love having you guys as my sounding boards. I love blogging. Usually.

But I'm having a hard time lately. I'm sad, somewhat bordering a depression, and for the first time in my life, I am dealing with paranoia. Like, real paranoia.. where I think really stupid things for no rhyme or reason and have stress attacks and anxiety.

Tomorrow's post is already written and 'scheduled', so perhaps by Wednesday I'll find joy in writing again and will talk to you guys about what my mental head is going through. No worries- I'm fine. I'm just.. just.. not feeling quite myself and I can't even explain it right now. But that's where I am. In case you were wondering. :)

Been there Debbi, still go there...you are not alone. Here in the bloggy world you can whine, complain, gloat, get pissed off...WHATEVER THE FUCK you feel like, 'cause this is your space.

Depression is bad enough, but to add anxiety to it is cruel. I am thinking of you. And I know how it feels. I have no idea what you need to do, but that does not matter...what matters is that you try to work through this in whatever way you can. But don't leave it inside.

This is your life, this is your childrens' world...you are so special. If you trust and know that you are, then others will see...believe in happiness.

oh, honey...
if you happened to stop in and check out my pathetic "non" post today, it should give you some insight into how screwed up I am right now, too...so please don't feel as if you're alone.

this depression thing is really kicking my ass right now, too...I spent the entire weekend in a state of constant weepiness, and it just about drove me insane.

I'm always here if you need to talk...or vent...or scream...or ANYTHING...

cuz you know how much I love you!

***hugs***

Hugs girl!

Hang in there! Take a break or scream and shout, whatever you need to do. Isn't that why blogs exist?

Hey I am thinking of you, make sure you tell your doc, if it persists. I started having panic attacks when I went through my stuff, it helps to talk to friends and family that have had them too. My ear is always here... hey that rhymes

Hmmmm. I think I can relate. I have been feeling unsettled lately myself.
Problem is, I dont like to talk about stuff.
I think that probably helps though.

Aww..Sorry to hear you are feeling down. It is ironic for me somewhat cause usually I am so happy...and today I was depressed..I barely feel like blogging today and usually it is such a joy. I was considering not bothering to blog anymore....Here I am on your page where you host little games and such and I thought it might cheer me up...and here I find that I am not alone in feeling blue. Maybe the planets are misaligned?? lol
*I only seem to get panic attacks when my ex husband is around... "p

Blah...
least we can feel blah together.. ")

Michelle said...

I get the paranoia and panic attacks. Mine was from that hell drug Chantix.
I hope you are feeling better soon and we will be here when you need us to be.
(((hugs)))
