Chores and depression

It seems impossible to find a way to get off my couch and in gear. Normally I would have played it safe and stayed put and relaxed, until this state passes.  That's the best way to avoid deeper depression, anxiety and panic attacks. But since the house is up for sale, we have to keep it clean always, and besides, I know we're going to get visitors to look at the house during this week, so I really don't have a choise. So I'm forcing myself...

Bump on the road or return of depression and anxiety(?)

It's sometimes difficult to figure out, what's going on, when you have a couple of bad days in a row. Where's the limit between a couple of bad days and the return of anxiety and depression(?) I actually don't know, if any "measurement system" has been made, I have never seen or tried one, and never heard about it, so I really don't think so. However after a good period, it's more than likely, you'll experience some bad days too. I certainly...

Less stress - take a break!

It's not a surprise to you guys I guess, if you are amongst the stady readers: my depression has me caught again. I have tried to fight it, but I forgot a couple of things. I'll explain more in a few, but this shows - once again - how important it is, that we do not force ourselves or forget to take care of ourselves and the disease on daily basis. I have had some days, where I simply was eating and sleeping and fighting anxiety and panic...

"Cutting" on social media!

I feel a need to speak up about this, since selfharm apparently has become a new form of sick competition. You should know, that people who are really suffering from "cutting" (the urge to do damages to own body) they do not publish it on social media. They do it secretly, so that nobody knows. People showing off picture by picture of cuts, are not "cutters." I have been cutiing at one point. Noone knew, until the day I found myself...

Does the planets really influence us?

I haven't slept for 36 hours, but that's not uncommon, when we have a full moon. I can't keep wondering, if the planets really influence us in any way. Previously I saw zodiac signs sayings more like entertainment, than as predictions. But now I'm no longer so sure. The moon definately influence me and my son, so how much does it actually affect us(?) I guess we'll never really know for sure. How about you? Does the moon affect your sle...

Depression and anxiety has me cornered

I've felt depression lurking this time, now its here, along with its "friend" anxiety. I have no idea of of how long this shitty disease is going to keep me in my own personal jail this time. Even though I've been thru this several times before, it keep surprising me, how powerful this disease is. I'll try to write it down In lots of detail this time, to be able to analyse on my thought later on. Tiredness: I dragged myself off the sofa,...

Facial massage is healing

I have a lot of excessive water retained in my body. This is an effect of everything we stuff in our body, medications, food and drinks - and also my stomach/protein problems. The excessive water often accumulates  in the legs, and in the morning you'll notice, your face is puffy, especially around the eyes. Your head feels like it's about to explode, so draining it like a waterfall would be wonderful. But it takes a little bit more...
