I'm depressed.

[Critters2]

Thanks for caring. God knows you're the only ones who do.


If you do.

[Jamastiene]

1. Awww,

I wish I knew what to do. :hug:

[Lil Missy]

2. I care. You have to get out of there.

[Critters2]

5. I keep thinking if I stick it out, it'll get better.

But it doesn't.

Thanks, Lil Missy! :hi:

[AlecBGreen]

[Critters2]

6. Thanks, Lost. nt

[skygazer]

7. I do

I'm sorry you're depressed - that sucks. Indulge in some Beagle kisses - I find that helps. :hug:

[Ptah]

9. I hope the cloud lifts soon.

:hug:

[Critters2]

10. The beagle and I are going to dog class. So, if I don't respond,

that's why.

Later. And thanks. :hi:

[XemaSab]

11. Drink some California wine

:9

I hope you feel better. :pals:

[Critters2]

32. You might need it...for when you run out of water!

Thanks, Xema! :pals:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Me too. Let's be bummed out together. *hugs*

[Critters2]

33. Sorry to hear, GPV.

:hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Ah, it's ok. That's the baseline for my bipolar 2. Could be far worse. :^)

[Bertha Venation]

13. I do, Critters2

:hug:

[Critters2]

34. Thanks, Bertha! nt

[graywarrior]

14. Been there....so I most definetly do care that you feel depressed.

:hug:

[Critters2]

35. Thank you, Gray.

I so love your duck!

[applegrove]

15. Try different meds and passtimes until you get some stability. Really they

have good drugs nowadays. Give it another go. Peace.

[Critters2]

36. I'm not on any meds right now. I hated them when I was.

I'd get insomnia, so I'd need a sleeping pill. Then I'd gain weight. So, they'd switch me to an anti-d that suppressed appetite. Then I'd get too thin, so another switch. Then, too drwsy, so off the sleeping pill...:grr:

I bought myself a bottle of 5-htp yesterday. That helped me in the past, but I stopped using it when the beagle chewed open a bottle and overdosed. I'm keeping these in the office, in a locked drawer, so that doesn't happen again. I hope they kick in soon.

Thanks, ag. :hi:

[applegrove]

41. Take care of you!

[flvegan]

16. I'm sorry Critters.

I do care.

[Critters2]

49. Thanks, flvegan! nt

[femmocrat]

17. Sorry, Hon.

Hope you feel better soon.

Did dog class cheer you up a little? I know it always helps me ... and it really distracts me from the "other stuff". The dogs always make me laugh.

:hug:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

18. What has to happen

to make you start to feel better?

And is there anything I can do from here? Because I will.

OK?

[Critters2]

50. I don't know of anything you can do, Tangerine, but I appreciate the thought.

It really does feel good to know so many DUers care. I'm grateful!

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. I care...

and I'm sorry you are feeling bad. :hug:

[Critters2]

51. Thank you, LFP!

:hug:

[Darth_Kitten]

20. Don't feel down.

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

21. Hope you feel better soon

:hug:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. Aw, Critters, some times you just have to shake the dust off your sandals

:hug:

[lightningandsnow]

23. It sucks, doesn't it?

But the best thing about it is it almost always get better.

I care. And I hope things get better for you sooner rather than later.

:hug:x 10000

[EFerrari]

24. I like to think having depression could lengthen my life span.

Sort of like taffy?

:hug: to you, Critters2.

[hfojvt]

26. Isn't that the Dunbar theory?

"Dunbar loved shooting skeet because he hated every minute of it and the time passed so slowly. He had figured out that a single hour on the skeet shooting range with people like Havermeyer and Appleby cvould be worth as much as eleven-times-seventeen years."

At least it will seem longer.

[abq e streeter]

25. I care too, and unfortunately have been there myself , way too much

but I'm still here, and I hope that the people here letting you know they care has been helpful in some way. And I hope it doesn't sound condescending to say I suspect that we're far from the only ones who care either. My best wishes to you , with a sincere hope, and prayer ( its something I believe in, though I know a lot of Duers don't) that you'll find some relief from your depression soon.

[Skittles]

27. we care, Critters2

we do

[Critters2]

42. I have some parishioners in need of a good ass-kicking, Skittles! nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. sorry hon. i am too

:hug:

[Critters2]

48. Sorry to hear that, Priyanka.

:hug:

And thanks!

[stewartcolbert08]

29. I do.

I have been a little out of sorts myself. I am trying to take out my aggression and stuff at the gym but the problem is finding the motivation to get there. I am here for ya. You can PM me if you need to. Listening helps me forget my own shit. :)

[Danger Mouse]

30. Why wouldn't we?

:hug:

[Flaxbee]

31. I care. It can feel like you're drowning, I know

:hug:

Watch out for yourself, and don't be afraid to get help, of the talking kind or the pharmaceutical kind or both (disclaimer: this is coming from a psychiatrist's daughter).

I've been having a hard time of it myself, and the death of my beloved Tommycat today didn't help. I understand. I hope you feel better soon.

[Dystopian]

37. Please feel better....

:hug:

Please feel better...:hug:

peace & love to you~

[Kajsa]

38. I sure do!

I hope you feel better soon, Critters!

[Strong Atheist]

43. Don't know your specifics, but we all get that way at times. Some of us more than others.

:hug:

[crimsonblue]

44. Don't be.

[mdmc]

45. hang in there

peace

[LaraMN]

46. I'm sorry that you're feeling blue,

But come on by the old DU.

We've got some crazies and some freaks,
some sociopaths, and hard-core geeks.

We fight, we wrestle, we piss and moan.
For none can stand to be alone.

We've got drama, lust, and hate.
Some people come to cyber-date.

So here's a hug from me to you,
I'm glad you hang out at DU!


:hug:

[UndertheOcean]

47. no , we care , we really do , hang in there friend

:)

[Skip Intro]

52. It's a cloud, my friend. It will pass over, and you'll soon smile at the stars yet again.

[murielm99]

53. I do. Many of us here care about you.

I hope this helps.

:hug:

[CreekDog]

54. I'm sorry

I hope there are options for you to break its grip. :hug:
