So, I’m going to follow the advice I give others and be vulnerable here.
*I AM OFFICIALLY ASKING FOR HELP.*
I’m in need of encouragement from people I’ve met through my blog, as well as family and friends. I’m depressed.
It’s bad. I’ve tried to find upbeat moments and days, and I have indeed found some. This has been an almost insurmountable feat, however. I am apathetic, totally flat. Usual things that bring me happiness, no interest. Wanting to be awake – psssh, yeah right! Having to push myself hard to go outside. Can’t settle but don’t want to move. Just have that feeling I always do when I’m bad.
I want to go home.
Where is your home? Is it the apartment or house in which you now live, or more of a fantasy? Something from a fairy tale, perhaps?
My “Home” is at the beach in Santa Cruz California. Arizona will NEVER be my home.
Actually Jen, the Bible says this world is not our home, this world is just a passing time.
I am so sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well.
You have been such an inspiration to me.
I remember when you posted on your Blog, the numbers of people who had seen your Blog…it was thousands ! Just think Jen, you have encouraged and inspired THOUSANDS of people .
Depression is so ugly, I am sorry you are struggling right now
Hugs I was there last week hard core. Anyway my home is in the Midwest of USA. In a resort area and traffic is about to get out of hand! With summer ugh
I am depressed myself right now, so I can’t offer good advice. I try just to make one step after the other when it’s bad. And I tell myself “This too will pass”.
Sorry you are down. I’ve been in a funk for a bit myself. Wish I had an answer for home, but my mind is blank right now. I have faith that things will turn upward in time for both of us. ((((HUGS)))) and much empathy until it does.
Feeling a tiny bit better today. Forcing myself to get out of the house. Hope it helps. Later, I’m going to listen to a book and do some coloring or painting.
Focus on getting on day by day – hour by hour if you must – remember this too shall pass you just have to give your brain time to cycle back to better – It’s working hard to make you feel better. It’s okay to take it easy if you must. Home is a random park I encountered in Spain. It’s the place I let it all out and allow myself to be okay or not okay without guilt. Stay strong

Very true, this is not our eternal home. Praise and thank God for that. No more pain or loss or ugliness of anytime, one day.
