God I hate this. Wasn't the best yesterday but today is bad. Had to talk to my worker about the ex crazy psychiatrist and what he tried to do. And the day the police came and wanted to take me to hospital. Trying not to 'feel' it all again. They are just stories. I don't have to relive the emotions. But I'm sad. I'm restless. I'm jittery. I'm off. Out of sorts. Sliding down towards my depression. Feel like crying but can't. Just told my son he needs to pack a bag to stay at my mums house tonight. He doesn't look impressed. But I don't have the energy to explain it to him again today. Such a hard day.
Before I finally sleep @utopia I just want to offer my opinion about those periods of time when numbness prevails- the not thinking phase. I believe this is nature's way of forcing us to rest our mind and body. I've found it helps me to go with the flow ...... Perhaps it's time to visit your spiritual home and take yourself up the mountain. It is there you may well find the peace and motivation to start moving forward one step at a time. Remember that a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. The mountain? Hugzzz ❤

Re: Depression creeping up again
Feeling uptight and irritable for days. Today has been worse. Slept most of day. Safest thing to do. Have to take my son to the airport in 45 minutes and I'm so tightly strung, I feel like I could snap. So I've taken 2 calming tablets and hope that they help. Good thing my mum is driving. My body is very restless and I feel like screaming. But can't do that now. And I'm hoping by the time I get home from the airport (around 3am) - I won't be feeling like this. As I don't think I could hold a scream in for over 7 hours. So have to go and try and put on a happy face until he has gone.

Thanks @Teej. Just woke up 5 minutes ago. Had a big sleep. The boy got off safely and appeared excited. The tablets helped alot. Not sure how I feel now. Just super tired.
