... I'm uhh... Feeling a crash coming on today.

[retrowire]

Bad.
This is bad.

[AJT]

1. What kind and why?

[retrowire]

2. Depressive state

Getting pretty convinced that no relationship is real.

And it's probably because I dealt with a fair share of negativity today.

And was laughed at for it. And they're probably still laughing.

[Cary]

3. Turn your computer off

Go for a walk. If you work out, do your work out. Get out in the sun.

Take care of yourself, retrowire. It's no joke.

[retrowire]

6. It's my phone

And I'm at work on a rainy day.

Those would help but not at the moment.

But just hearing back from others is helping.

4. Can you take your puppers outside for fresh air? We're here for you

Gentle hugs

[retrowire]

9. I'm at work thank you though. :( Nt

[woodsprite]

5. Retro, I'm here for you.

I read through the thread earlier today and decided to keep out of it since it was getting pretty heated.

Adding, I thought you handled it really well.

[retrowire]

7. Really?

I feel so exhausted. And there were many threads I was engaged in today. Which one are you referring to?

[woodsprite]

10. It was the "Is this all because Bernie..." post.

I read all the way through and thought you held your own very well. It was one of the first threads I read this morning. It's refreshing to touch base with some sanity once in awhile. DU's been kinda crazy lately. It's the first thing I check in the a.m., then (obviously) several times during the day, too

[retrowire]

11. Oh well thank you

Funny though because I did most of my screaming in that thread. Sanity indeed lol!

Glad to hear it though.

12. Retro, put the phone down, take a break from it for a day or two.

Speaking from experience, constant stress will just burn you out.

Please pace yourself, all of us need to pace ourselves.

[still_one]

8. If you are referring to the market, it is up because trump says he will slash corporate taxes

[ADX]

13. Retro, remember: "This too shall pass..."

...in the meantime, read my signature line.

[furtheradu]

14. Sending goood vibes & PEACE to YOU

I am at work too.. STAY STRONG

[retrowire]

16. Just 45 more minutes!!! Nt

[furtheradu]

22. I 'M OUT, TOO!

Thought I'd lose my dang Mind today, dealing with trumper-boss & his bunch.
But.. we made it!
& YES! I am looking for another J-O-B, ASAP!
Happy YOU reached out to DUers, when You needed "back up"!

[retrowire]

23. Yay we're free!!!

Sorry your boss is a trumper. Mine is anti Trump but he's still a jerk.

[steve2470]

15. any good music to choose right now ?

I know you said you are at work.

[retrowire]

17. Not possible at the moment. But 45 minutes left! Nt

[longship]

18. Hang in there retro. We're with you.

[retrowire]

19. Thank you nt

[Bayard]

20. Are you under a doctor's care?

Meds?

[retrowire]

21. No doctor yes meds. Nt

[Bayard]

24. So nothing prescribed?

Make yourself go to the doctor. Don't wait.

[steve2470]

25. how do you get your meds ?

A family practice doc ? Nurse practitioner ? Internal medicine doctor ?

*puzzled*

Hope you're doing better.

[retrowire]

27. I don't know. Nt

[steve2470]

28. sigh ok

I wasn't trying to be unpleasant. I was just curious. Have a good day, my friend

[retrowire]

29. A Dr prescribed them and I pick them up at pharmacies

Does the type of Dr make a difference?

[steve2470]

30. sort of

I recommend a psychiatrist (if at all possible). They are the specialists in mental health, but if a knowledgeable family practice doctor or nurse practitioner does it, that's cool too. I'm just glad you have them

[lapucelle]

26. Sorry to hear this.

-Turn off the news and watch movies, sports, sitcoms, nature or science shows
- Hang out in the DU lounge to stay close to your community
- Go to Ebay and search your favorite toys from when you were really little
- Sometimes it helps me to seek out humor. Read The Onion or 27b/6 (written by a guy who brilliantly trolls any idiot who jerks his chain).
- Go out and browse in a place you like to browse: library, bookstore, dollar store, mall, anywhere where you can wander around and look at stuff you like to look at. (Museums are great, but not everyone has one near.)
- Organize something easy at home (a couple of drawers, not a major closet.) It helps me sometimes to impose order on something I actually can control. I also feel that I accomplished something because I did.
- stay close to family or friends.
I hope you feel better soon.

32. That website you posted rocks! Bookmarked for me. Thx

[Bayard]

31. Do you have understanding friends or family?

Someone you can talk to? Any kind of support system?

My meds were prescribed years ago while I was still in CA, by a psychiatrist. MY GP here refills them. Its a chemical imbalance. Mostly genetic, some environmental. Nothing to be ashamed of, or embarrassed.

Its ok. Get help. Please.
