Depression sucks
Depression sucks it truly does. I have no idea how to pick myself up, dust myself off, and not be depressed. Meds don't work, mind over matter doesn't work, what does? I find more and more people that I know are suffereing from depression as well. Is it because we surround ourselves with negativity? Is it because there is so much stress in the world? Is depression a diagnosis that is just plain easy to give?
My niece turned 26 on Saturday. Two years ago she had a go at flesh eating disease. It destroyed her one arm and shoulder, we almost lost her a couple of times on the operating table, and she has severe scars both physical and mental now. She says she can't keep a job because of people discriminating against her arm and the way it looks. WEll wear a long sleeved shirt then. She has lived off of my Mom for going on years. It bugs me. It really does. She gave my kids a hug on Saturday afternoon, and says out of the blue, well this is probably the only chance I will ever get to hug a kid. I know she just turned 26 and is feeling her clock ticking, but really. Get your like in order. Is she using drugs I do n't know. There has to be some reasonf or her extreme shifts in moods from up to down. At my daughters 6th birthday party in July, I really did not know who the six year old was. I didn't. But I have also seen her so friggen angry that she scared me. She is not allowed un-supervised time with my kids she scares me that bad.
I deal with chronic pain every day, I go out and work even though it kills me, I still get up and go every day. I have two kids to look after. I have bills to pay. I don't have much but bills, but man I do it cause I have to. How do you instill that attitude in someone?
Anyway it rained all day yesterday and started snowing in the night and is still snowing.
Cool wet damp weather, not the best kind for me.
