for the first time in my life, I can say that I am truly depressed.

Posted by Truman Oct 14 '14, 15:47

I am sure it has a lot to due with the 80+ hour works weeks I have been putting in since the middle of august. and traveling for 6 out of the last 8 weeks. and never seeing the sun, or really my house. not having weekends to relax (and really, I dont think NYC is a place to go to relax, though i did have fun and laugh). the loss of my cat. the stabbing in the back by of one of my last few friends who still live in town. and just so many little things.

I'm not sleeping well, i'm grumpy, lethargic, etc etc.

I know I need to talk to someone, and yet until this project is done (hopefully by this friday) I can barely get out of the office to get take-out food for lunch/dinner without my phone ringing.

the worst part of it is that i totally know what is making me depressed. I can step outside myself and see exactly what is happening, and the spiral that is caused by all of that. I can tell you what probably started it, what made it worse, and in some cases what helped for a bit. but you cant do anything about it, because its stupid and mean.

tomorrow morning i get to pick up the ashes of my cat, zelda. I dont know what to do with them, but i will have them.

When was the last time you had a physical? It's a good place to start - amoxy Oct 14, 16:31 1
- that's good advice. I actually started to type something like that and apparently lost it somewhere. -- nm - b. Oct 14, 16:41

Sorry to hear that. I've been there at times too. All I can say is "hang in there." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 14, 16:13
Sorry man. Wish we could have spent more time in NYC hanging out. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 14, 16:02
I'm sorry you're feeling so down lately. Hopefully when the project is over things will slow down a bit and you can - Krusty Oct 14, 15:56
We put ours on top of a shelf beside a picture of the pets. It helps. -- nm - David, "The Concise One" Oct 14, 15:55 3
- Remiw and Pascal sit right over there on either side of a photo of the two of them together. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 14, 16:29
- Yeah. We have 2 of these lamps in the master bedroom - one shelf is holding Murph's ashes, along with a picture of him and Nathan. -- (link) - kelly Oct 14, 16:00
- We did the same. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 15:57
I'm sorry things have been so stressful for you; and lack of sleep makes everything worse, too. - b. Oct 14, 15:54
That's tough. " -- nm - JD Oct 14, 15:51 1
