Here we go again!
Been feeling low and irritable for the last 2 days. Today, a new depressive episode has settled in. I hate this. This is not living. This is not a life.

I am sorry you are feeling so bad depression can be really awful to deal with. Is there anything comforting you can do to ease things a little it might not fix anything but a little relief is better than none… usually I would try and listen to music or watch my favorite tv shows that sort of thing. Anyway please ignore my suggestions if they aren’t helpful for you but I am here listening if you just need to be heard.

I find sleep helps. To a point. Suicidal thoughts are pretty common at the moment. But I'm resisting. I try and not do anything for 24 hours. But suicide sounds like such a great option when my Depression is ripe.
My dog is a good help. She knows when I'm sick. The puppy however is driving me crazy. Jumping on me. Scratching me. Always wanting to play. I have no energy or motivation to play with her.
Just watching TV. Numbing myself with TV rot.
