I don't think I've been so disappointed in a long time...
Sigh. I'm having a sad night. I'm happy about my brother, but...I'm just sad otherwise.

Don't mind me. I'm just being morose and...I don't know what.

2. I wish you could help me decorate my tree....
And if you still wanted to be sad, that'd be okay, too. :hug:

6. I'm sorry.
:(

Stress piles up and gets really heavy. It wears you down...

I hope things get better.

7. I've never felt so heavy as I do right now...
It's really like a crushing weight upon me that I can't seem to get out from under. Every day is something more. I'm at my wit's end. And yet, I keep on going and going. If I can just make it through the next two weeks, I'll be ok. If I collapse between now and then and get hospitalized, I'm ok with that too. I'm completely exhausted and depleted. I feel like the walking dead. I'm good at pretending to be alive though.

:)

:hug:

12. I hope you have a lot of good friends.
They are the only good solution I know off for that kind of stress, depression and feeling of being overwhelmed.

If you can share it, and tackle it a few days at a time, then it's manageable. Nobody can do it all alone, or do it all at once. It is impossible to be responsible for everything all the time. :(

Please be with friends, and be well. :hug:

15. I'm trying, believe me...
School starts again tomorrow, and I'll be with my friends then. They lift me up. :)

That's my problem, I try to do it all, by myself, b/c I don't trust anyone with the important stuff or the unimportant stuff. I need to let the unimportant stuff go...

I'll work on it, promise. :hug:

27. I used to be a workaholic perfectionist.
Friends had to convince me, "for peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe." :P

Best advice I ever received. I still remind myself of that advice every now and then.

Beantown, NYC, DC, and the like are three places I intend to hit before the decade is out.

11. I'm just way down in the depths...the bad ones.
Ugh!

Depression sucks! So does anxiety.

I'll climb up though, when I'm ready. I always do. :)

13. Yes, depression and anxiety both suck
Makes me want to run away when I feel like that. But we all know that's not a real solution. :hug:

17. Ayup...If it were the solution, I'd be in Paris by now, believe me
:D

I told SugarSmack tonight that I'll only go to Paris once this passes. Promise. And I'll come back...eventually. :P

25. Agreed
I had no idea I'd been to that many different countries until my husband's friend made me count them one night. Most of them are in Asia and the South Pacific. I've only been to 4 countries in Europe.
