@Shaz51 @LeChuck @tonys @Oaktree @PolarOpposite

The fight goes on. On the full depressive swing at the moment but its a pendulum isnt it, just got to keep that in mind.

Hi @Shaz51 @ClockFace

Hope the pendulum doesn't stay too long in the downswing for you @ClockFace . Mine's hovering a bit with anxiety atm.

ohhh hugs @Dimity , @ClockFace , sitting with you

Hey there @Shaz51 Better than good and thanks for asking. What about you. Got a sparkle in your eyes I hope. One of my Goats bit the end of my cane fishing rod I forgot to bring in.

Now its as useful as a McDonalds pickle is to a sea gull. Good. saves me searching for something important to gripe about . . .

Best time of day is about to arrive. Food time. . . ! have a wonderful eve all

Hey everyone

I’m just wondering if anyone can help me understand what is going on. I’ve contacted my CM but she hasn’t gotten back to me.

I feel a little flat but I’m ok. My concern is that I have no energy or motivation. It’s like I’m deeply depressed. I just want to sleep all day. I just don’t get it. Is this normal?

I wouldn't say it's normal @Captain24 but it's part of the picture for me - happens periodically, and can drag on. I try to keep moving (pushing myself into my daily walk) and try to eat reasonably healthily. I've been sliding into it again and can feel the negativity building. Not sure what I can do differently except maybe reach out more. I think you're doing the right thing to contact your CM.

Thank you @Dimity.

I will concentrate on eating better. I have let it lapse in the last couple of days. I will try and start tomorrow with walking my dog. Last week I was elevated and still had no energy or motivation.

Im sorry that you are slipping into the same. I really hope you can get it under control. It’s a horrible but weird feeling.

Thank you for responding

I hope you're going OK @Captain24

Not really well @Dimity. My mood has slipped and now I’m struggling but I’ve gotten through before and I can get through again.

How are you doing?
