Depression

[Abbeydore]

If you don't suffer from it you are blessed, if you do you probably know how I feel @ present
The recent full moon has given me a pretty hard time of it! Walked my dog in suffolk eng. Enjoyed some sun, but feel pretty crap...........not wish it upon any one!

Anyway tomorrow's another day, love to everyone!

Hello Abbeydore. I have skirted around the edges of depression for the last 20 years and feel for you.

I hope that having a dog helps. It should! I hope so much to have a dog as soon as I retire from my rewarding but very demanding job as Head of Year in a Secondary School in Wiltshire.
I have been very cheered by watching the Olympics and if it helps - know that a small but heartfelt prayer is heading your way and is for you.

The World is full of amazing and loveable people.

If you have not tried bright light therapy, it may help. Some people residing in Alaska, Canada, and the northern US states find it very helpful in winter months. Along with bright light therapy, a few will also take Deplin with more severe cases of depression.
Arrange your schedule so you'll be walking el Camino routes in the sunny months!

Dear Abbeydore...
Yesterday
as I went walking through the fields
seed heads rattled in a bending wind
You were there beside me...

Animo!

 

[Abbeydore]

Oh yes I exercise, been gardening lots, & been on my bike, & walking, lost some weight too...........& yes I do agree..........
It's just the sod sneaks up on you...........
& now been eating my fruits or is that veges, fresh peas, toms & spuds..........
oh yes freshly pulled spuds, just washed.........cooked a bit of butter.......yummy
Hope that made your mouth water :mrgreen:

Me too. And suffering from depression. I keep thinking about doner kebabs which would only make things worse. :shock:

Sorry lovingkindness, your flowers were wonderful & still look great, you know there are lots you can eat, borage for eg., & boy what a kick she's got, no wonder the bees love it.

Hang in there Abbeydore. Strong Vitamin B complex and fish oil also help. Sending you lots of love and strength.

Abbeydore, how beautiful, such exquisite detail and mind-zapping colour. I wonder, does blue have more zinging power than yellow? Why not bust the blues by staring at a psychodelic mix? That's what the tulip growers do in Holland

Uuhh, I have so bad depression that I cannot start to get ready and pack! Leaving already on Monday, but I'm still missing half of things :O

If you are having trouble getting organized the last few days before departure, making a checklist might be helpful. (I couldn't travel without mine - it's an iPhone app!)

 

[ugggla]

Yes, I have already 3 checklists, but I'm stuck and cannot even go and buy things that I still need. But maybe tomorrow will be better day. And tomorrow I will not have other choice, not so much time left
Thank you for your advice!

Oh, this sounds just like me in march this year,
I'm assuming yoou have the major things, sack & boots, just pack minimum & get rest in spain(Leon). Take it easy & wing it! Go slowly!
If things get too bad don't go, you'll know. You seem to have a lovely smile, it will get you thru'

Buen Camino

 

[ugggla]

Thank you, I'm trying!

yes, a big smile is the only thing that I have packed so far
