Saw someone making their little girl giggle, by pushing down on the trampoline and enthusiastically shouting "Bouncie bouncie bouncie!" and it occurred to me that much of what we define as mentally ill behavior is adults without children doing things like that.

I think my OH got out of bed on the wrong side today. I’ve been driving her around and everything that gets in our way, she scowls, huffs and rolls her eyes and tries to find some way to blame me. I’m just so tired now. Left her to watch TV downstairs while I take some downtime upstairs. #depressed

Such a small amount, just a teaspoon of the stuff. Three and a half minutes, and it would've happened. But now, all the world focusing all its effort on this one task would be in vain, no matter how much anyone wanted me to have children. I guess that's one reason I just don't give a fuck about anything anymore. Everything I want is an unattainable fantasy. Don't wait, that's all I can say. Don't wait.

The Saturday Market was... alright I guess. I saw Melodie, but nobody else at the garden club particularly wanted to talk with me. Just busy talking to other people, nothing against me I mean, I suppose. Feeling lonely now. Wish I could go over to a friend's house, or invite them here, even though that won't get me what I need. Might take the edge off. At least it was such a wonderfully cool day!

So freaking lonely... why did Social Saturdays have to be cancelled? I don't mind hanging around with queer people. With anyone ffs. Just sitting here going nuts with nothing to do and wanting to do things that nobody will ever want to do with me, even if I wasn't already too old. You could massacre 99% of the people in this town and I wouldn't even blink. They don't know me, they don't want to know me, and they're happy in their... stupid... I dunno. #depressed #rant
Ugh, nothing to look forward to this week but surgery. No one to talk to, no one to meet, everyone just going to their work, living in their house, raising their kids, and leaving me to rot. I'm sure there's some... dumb activity full of people deliberately distancing themselves from each other. Should... should go to that anyway, just in... case the last 30 years were a fluke.

اِكْـتِـئـابْ (depression);

A lot had been said about this topic. In a world where science is leading all aspects of life, almost, it seems that professionals somewhat jump over some issues related to this phenomenon and stick to science. Not to say this is a bad thing, but also don't expect one with depression to just have the mind and the spirit to digest what had been said about the status, or the feeling. Actually, to someone with depression, it is all feelings, and no room for science there.
It is sometimes classified as chronic, clinical, or temporal; but I'll tell you something that always clicked with me in life, so far. It is an old saying from my folks that goes like: "Too much beating dismantles the iron." I'd argue depression works the same, and what is temporal or clinical, can easily turn chronic with no hope in horizon to be reversed.
Genetics are genetics, but when scientists describe the issue as a "pandemic of modern times," it is obvious that it is way beyond genetics for such staggering levels. Idle hopes, broken dreams, shocking disappointments… one burden after the other build up that bubble around the heart, block by block, until one lies there in the blue, unaware of what does it mean to be happy, or what does it mean to expect good in life (if any), or how it works to be an optimist.
The bulk of humanity is placing the trust in medicine and medics, and talk about magical pills and scientific miracles that would alleviate this plague and help one function relatively normal (to the society); yet I wonder how much would these do for the soul and spirit? Meanwhile, no one is talking about a kiss, a caress, a hug, and a shoulder where one can rest a head, and shed some tears without the nuisance of the usual advice that they are so sick of hearing: "you must be strong"…
… trust me, they tried.

1/ I’m #depressed. Turns out dropping my antidepressant dose was not a good idea. I went back up from 50 to 75mg / day of Sertraline last week. Will take a few weeks to feel the benefit. The max dose I take is 100. Maybe I’ll increase to that in 4 weeks’ time. It’s crazy the difference a little pill makes. I’m very lethargic. I slept for 3 hours yesterday afternoon, but could have stayed in bed all the way through to this morning. I had an unsettled night, the heat didn’t help.

I start to realize sometimes that this is really happening, and nothing can save me. Trapped forever and inevitably, with no hope of anything different. Times like that I try to remind myself that there's no one in here to get trapped, just a body feeling sad who thinks it's people.
