9. My dear Southpawkicker...
The only way to solve a problem.........

Is to recognize that you have it in the first place, sweetie.....

There's nothing wrong at all in telling us you're depressed......

I have been like that here many times........And my friends have always helped me....

Happy Friday to you too! :hug:

14. Hi Southpaw,
I hope there's an off switch to your committee.
Mine doesn't have one.
They will greet you with " Good morning,
we're here to fu*k up your day."

I'm fighting the first real flu of the season.
I got a raging stomach flu last night- up all night,
I'm down, in a pisser of a mood, needed to
work today and couldn't, argh!

Oh yeah, Ms. Self-centered here got sidetracked,

I hope you feel a lot better!!

16. I had a pretty bad day.
Edited on Fri Feb-16-07 07:35 PM by Mary Tyler Moore
Does it make it better if I was to imply that a likely scenario for me is to crawl into bed, fetal position and not resurface until I must.

Hurts so good?

(I'm actually going to try something new instead... an adventure if you will.)

Feel better.

21. I'll tell you the tale.
I am in school, 12 credits from finishing.

I wrote a paper based on some network experience I had in NOLA, which is new and atypical. Since I now live in Charlotte, NC -- why would I have extensive knowledge of the Morial Convention Centers IT department... my instructor, the head of the IT department to boot, accused me of plagiarism. I am awaiting the official detector ruling.

I am confident, they are my words and concepts, but it was a really shitty day.

26. That Sucks MTM
Did you leave NOLA after Katrina? Or before?

Either way, your experience sucks, I just wondered.

:hug:

hang in there sweetie!

The official detector. Will look forward to hearing about the head of the IT dept. eating his/her words, but then you also still have to deal with him/her for the rest of your degree plan.

Man, when it rains it pours. :hug:

30. Exactly.
It was frustrating.

I left after Katrina.

I am a native, and I really love my city... Damn, I am homesick.

Ohhhhh I see what you did, Kicker... I am a little more blue for your pleasure.

Sneaky!

18. Thanks, Southpaw.

I'm hoping it's a 24 hour bug,

I hope your headache goes away, too.

A constant slammer can make you very depressed.

23. A Constant Slammer
damn, that is a very accurate description, just not a term I'm familiar with.

Regional slang difference?


or a Kajsa special?

25. Don't forget balance in life. Plant a garden or mentor a kid to keep
yourself busy and happy. Too much politics is not always a good thing.

38. I think I know what your saying
:shrug:
I work lots of different jobs, and this afternoon was my Mental Health Association gig. I'm working on a New York State Arts Council grant, so I'm just temporary. Today was very good, but last week was tough. The people I'm working with range from run of the mill depressives to schizophrenics, and everything in between. I facilitate an art class for them. Today was very, very good. Last Friday it felt heavy and daunting and overwhelming. I have anxiety and depression, myself, so last week I came home feeling pretty low.

Just thought I'd share.

39. Yes...
Edited on Fri Feb-16-07 08:28 PM by Southpawkicker
I have anxiety and depression and am dealing with a lot of personal life stress that isn't helping, but if I don't deal with it then I'm screwing myself even worse.

So, heavy and daunting is how it has come down towards the end of the day.

:hug:

edited to add: that is really cool what you do working with people with problems doing art.

:hug: again

43. Here. Have a link and a hug.
http://www.inktank.com/AT/index.cfm?nav=1

This was one of the better webcomics out there. Silly, funny, geeky, and taking nothing seriously. There's 1130 strips in the archive, and the link goes to the first. It'll cheer you up, at least for a while.

And here's your :hug:.

I was replying to a post and kicked this up, duh.

lil dreamer posted a link to a song that I hadn't noticed last night.

Thanks though, depression does stink and even taking meds and being in therapy, it has ups and downs.

:hug:

47. Now I'm Feeling
sad...

I hate seeing people I know here having hard times. We all do.

The internets are weird. We care about people we may never meet face to face. We are probably no more powerless to "help" someone online resolve a personal crisis than we are to help those IRL resolve personal crises. However, IRL we can at least cater to the illusion of power. Online it just feels like it is... sad and all one can do is tell people they care about them.

To all who are having a bad day, bad week, or what seems like a bad life right now...

hang in there, this too shall pass.

:grouphug:

I keep listening to this song that Graywarrior had a thread about and BNL has on her myspace page.

http://brandicarlile.com/

it is probably not helping my mood, but it is hitting me in my heart... Sometimes my heart needs to be hit by love and the sadness that is there is realized.
