is anyone else depressed???

Yup...Runs in both sides of my family, so I'm screwed on both sides. :-P~

If you need to talk, I'll be off work at 6 p.m. Just call, k? :)

Love ya

Mine comes and goes anymore, especially with my mom being sick. I don't show it in front of her because I want her to be as positive as possible. There are times I think too much and get myself all bent out of shape. I even had a break down at work a couple of weeks ago because I was not operating on any sleep. I told my boss I wanted to go home, which he was fine with. But he kept pushing me to talk when I didn't want to so I let loose on him. It was so unprofessional of me but he understood. Things at work have been such a nightmare over the last few months at well. He even gave me a big hug before I left that day.

I'm like Jessi-runs on both sides of my family too! I've been down lately,too. Now the jerk-off that is suing my son who's on disability,for that bogus car wreck,is suing in EXCESS of $300,000. Jeeze-give me a break here! He's claiming that the "wreck" re-injured his workmans comp back injury from a year ago. I can't even pay bills like I want,so throw me in jail for the $300,000. :lol: ...Karen

Absolutely! Runs in my family a bit. Right now, the unemployment and the job market in Pensacola is leaving me with a rather hopeless feeling. If I do by some unlikely miracle find a career, chances are I'll be alone this Christmas and on my birthday because I won't be able to get time off to join my husband in Denmark for the holiday season. So far the only interview I have is with a temp agency. Yes, I'm depressed.

Karen, that guy is a lying thieving prick. Countersue him if you can.

Ari-good luck on your job hunt. I know you will find the perfect job for you! You just haven't run into it yet. I would love to counter sue,but the dip stick is suing my son personally,and the car is in my name,so I can't at this point. BUT,if they keep getting nasty,I can get an attorney and become a third party and sue.Right now the attorney for our car insurance is handling it pretty well. Although,I may get my cam corder and sneek behind the bushes to tape him doin the things he says he can't :lol: Though,with my luck,the police would be called and I would be the one arrested :D ...Karen

Yeah,that's one reason I am thinking about counter-suit.He is exactly the reason,he and others,that the rest of us pay high premiums on insurance. I really get mad when people like him and others abuse the system,whether it is auto,health care,etc. I can't even afford health insurance since I lost my job partly because of people who abuse the system and make it too costly for others!...Karen

I agree. This country needs a huge can of RAID to fend off all the parasites who drain on the rest of us and make everything difficult.

Did I start this thread? I must have. I went out with my girls last night and got totally $hit faced. I remember it took me at least 10 trys to log on here! I better look and see if I posted anywhere else before I passed out...

It's amazing to me-People ,like on this forum,for example,are trying to become responsible,honest taking-care-ofbusiness people. We struggle just to do the right thing and take care of business. Then,you have people like this jerk-off who does nothing but live off law suits,the government,lies cheats,etc. and seems to just float along in life taking from others.I don't know,there's something really wrong in this world we live in!...Karen

There certainly is something wrong with this society. I'm starting to believe that good things happen to bad people and vice versa. I read all these detailed accounts of people who are stuck working for overpaid degenerates, people who do nothing but spoon off of the system, and they all get away with it. Whereas, if you're an honest person and you so much as zig instead of zag, you get raked across the coals and 50 lashes.

Polly, a few nights ago I posted on here while I was faced and it really started something! You were there!

oh you girls! lol at Polly and Ari...Karen

Bossy, if he is on workman's comp. and you think he is doing things he claims he can't, call in and make a report, they investigate those claims, and they will video tape him. I've seen it on the news here where I live they go and investigate those claims all the time and video tape the people.

Right on! Once he gets caught, he will be in deep stuff for the rest of his life! He will be prosecuted, sued, jailed, and this will be a huge stain on his record that will keep him out of work for an eternity! Laugh and feel justified as he is dragged out his apartment by police wearing just his undies and handcuffs!

It will also tarnish his character if this suit goes to court because he will be exposed as a fraud/not a credible withness etc... and a jury/judge will have a hard time siding with him in this suit against your son.

Exactly! The suit will get thrown out.

I use to suffer terribly from depression about two years ago. People use to question if I had a eating disorder, because I had lost so much weight. I would only eat one meal a day. It was stress from work, my mother from being sick, and all the bills that I had piling up on me. I use to suffer from anxiety attacks too, but that got me fired. Believe it or not! Losing my job drove me to file bankruptcy. Needless to say, I have been debt free for 6 months now and counting and I can't be much happier. I've gained about 15 lbs over the past year and half and look healthier. I can't say I won't suffer from depression again, but I will pass along this advice: don't let it run your life or it will literally eat away at you.

Thanks,guysI feel better now.I really felt good when our attorney said"it's time to kick butt and take names"--my kinda guy :D ...Karen

You're right, CB. I've been kicking myself for allowing myself to get the axe at a job I hated and was overqualified for anyway. Sometimes it is hard for me to understand that there is life after getting sacked, but the only one believing that this is the end is me.

Oh Polly..You sent me an interesting pm last night!

Why the heck wasn't I with you?

I think in times like that when you are feeling down its good to think of the things that you do have.

Kids, Spouses, etc..

I also find it helps to have a set sleeping schedule. Also try to eat good and excercise.

Try thinking of the future and planning things if your current situation is not so good.

What I have learned today:

Polly & Ari like to get sloppy drunk and then post in threads.

I've been depressed for about 3 weeks now, I found out my boyfriend of 4 years was cheating on me and I'm having a very hard time getting over him. I lost 10 pounds that week and the pounds keep dropping off. I can't eat I can't sleep and I am crying like every other day.
Somebody hacked into his email account and forwarded me messages between him and other girls. At first he tried to deny it and call it all lies, but I printed out the emails one night and taped them all over his front door.
I tell you this is the most horrible feeling that I have ever experienced.

damn pink thats no good. If the not eating keeps up you need to see your doctor. You may need a lil counseling, maybe some short term meds or maybe both.. but do not let it ruin your health.. the bf/creep ( I will be nice here) is not worth ruining your health.

Hey-JJ good to see you! Pink- I found out there is no man worth giving so much power to that it affects US! They just go on their merry way,and we fall apart.Yes,it does hurt,but at leaast you found out now instead of being married for 10 years with a bunch of kids. Hang in there :D ...Karen

Hey Bossy, Yea I have been busy, now things are slwoign down a bit so maybe I can post here more

If you dont have some sort of depression, YOUD BE DEAD!!!! :lol: :roll: :lol:

I don't believe that. Many people suffer from depression, it could be chronic requiring long term medication/and or therapy, or it can be situational (death, loss of relationship, finances) requiring no tx or short term tx. The important thing is to recognize the sx and seek help so that it does not affect your activities of daily living. It is good to have somebody or a group to process your thoughts/feelings with.

OMG..polly u r so funny!
You should all see the text message I got from her too!!
You go girl...you really needed to do that!
Talk to ya later...

Maybe she'll get drunk again and post some really juicy stuff :lol: ...Karen

PinkLady: I was in a situation like the one you were in, but I was married at the time. I got into my ex-husband's emails and found out he had been getting emails from chick in Australia. Needless to say, I also found out that our phone was disconnected too because he was calling sex lines while I was at working busting my butt. We deserve so much more that what they gave us. Keep your head up. Things will get better with time and obviously, he's not the pain or the tears you cry for him.

Jedi: There is always light at the end of the tunnel! Remember that if something bad happens, something good will come shortly after. Stay positive! There is always something better out there for you, whether it's a new man or a new job! :wink:

lol..If I didn't know her I wouldn't have been able to understand the message I got!

Liz, I miss you! We need to do a group call here...When are you off?

PinkLady - Been there.

I call it the breakup diet.

Try to force yourself to eat and relax the best you can.

You will feel better in time.

My husband and I joined one of his friends from work for a day out on the town. We had a wonderful time and it certainly was good medecine for me! We went to lunch at Red Lobster, went to an aquarium, played some pool, went to a Chinese buffet for sup, and went back to his place to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. What a trip movie!

Fin...I'm off tonite!
Let me see what polly's up to... and I'll give you a call later!

Ari-how fun,sounds like just what you needed! It's nice to take a break from everyday junk :D ...Karen

Sure, with the problems like mine one comes depressed.

I just wanted to say that stress and depression go hand-in-hand from what I was told by my doctor. So if you are under a lot of stress, more than likely you will suffer from depression as well. They both have a lot of similar ailments too, such as loss of appetite, lack of sleep, weight loss/gain, and other things too.

I know how everyone here feels. The worrying about bills, family issues, sleepness nights, starting my new job, my husband starting his new job, checking account bullsh*t, etc. Well, it's all just killing me. Point blank. My blood pressure fluctuates, I am tired, bitchy, and just plain mean. I am on 28, and I feel like I've lived a full life. I'm sad a lot. I looked at my sweet little baby boy one night and we were wrestling in the floor and I just started crying because I felt so foolish for being sad. He is so perfect and amazing. I have a good husband and a good wonderful stepson. I am a fortunate person, but I feel selfish for being sad and worried all the time.

Gallopy, don????????t let your depression get over you. You have a wonderful family by your side. If you turn out to be sad, it will leave an effect on your husband and your kids. They will start feeling sad and overall the environment inside the house might spoil. This will only lead to bad days that you never expected.

Update, I am still depressed, this time severely. If I thought I had problems all those years ago, I didn't have sh!t compared to what I'm going through now. Check out my latest Pub thread. I'm serioously ready to blow my effing brains out. My life is over.

I've dealt with downer moods and feelings the last year or so, but I'm trusting in God that he's working things out, and I'm watching prayer be answered
So, I'm really psyched right now!

Depression can result from things like hypoglycemia and nutritional imbalances, so don't ignore the importance of taking care of your body.

Ari, Please contact your local Mental Health organization--they can get you counseling and hep. You don't have to feel this way, there are solutions that are not permanenet--You are a bright, young woman with a lot to give and I want you around for a long time!..I emailed you..karen

Great advice from Bossy4455!

Find someone you can talk to! Having been through all I've been through, and managing to come through it alive and, I feel, better for it I would hope that you would seek help!

Even if it's just a friend you can bounce your feelings and thoughts off; sometimes it's helpful just having someone listen.

i have been my whole life, its wrose now with the economy and my money troubles :/

It is so easy to become depressed between trying to make ends meat, feed kids, work for peanuts, spend all your extra time trying to fix your credit report.......life is hard....but you have to take every lil stepp as a victory, and soon you can overcome your depression.
