Who Would Have Thought Cafemom Could Be Depression Inducing?

 Well, today was kind of off-putting. Last night I didn't sleep the way I thought or had hoped. I even went and bought some benedryl, only to remember too late that it gives me restless legs. So in the end, I was soooooo tired, but I couldn't sleep because of my legs. I had to have Jordan pound on them. Ugh! Then because of the benedryl I was so tired I slept and slept. I woke up finally around 3pm and decided that I just need to stay up all night and all day tomorrow and hopefully sleep at a normal time and wake up relatively normal on Tuesday. We'll see. That was the first thing.

Then I am still missing Cassie. I will always miss her when she's not around. I just feel like I can't have my daughter here because of my mother. I worry that the woman will destroy my daughter the way she destroyed me. Maybe that's not entirely fair since I am an adult, but so much damage has been done since childhood that I just don't have the strength to keep fighting. Each day is hard enough dealing with what I deal with and it's not much.

Then, I decide to check Cafemom. I haven't been on there for awhile and to my surprise someone who was an aspiring author just set up an author fan page. She's an author now . . . her next book she's working on and it just depressed me. I'm happy for her but I'm jealous too. Why can't it be me, you know? I just don't believe in myself anymore. As if anything else could make me feel any worse it just dorve home to me how much I just don't trust myself anymore. I haven't done anymore writing since the other day. I don't know why. Maybe it's just that depression coming back way stronger than usual. I mean, I thought I was finally getting a handle on things.

Guess not . . .

And now I'm back to just being depresssed, wanting to cry . . . feeling alone and lonely. And really, my loneliness is due to missing Cassie. Guess I know who my best friend really was . . . or well . . . Cassie is just such a part of my heart and to not be near her is like having half my missing. It sucks.

So my writing is gone, I can't sleep when I want, and my daughter is gone . . . I'm doing great . . . yeah . . . just great . . . I guess I just really want to give up and die. Part of me really wishes I were dead. I don't want to be or I don't want to feel this way, but I do. It's hard to feel like this all the time. AND I might not get any money next month because I got my QR7 in late or something was missing. I have to call tomorrow. Or they might cut my money because of all the days Cassie has missed at school. I just won't know. It's just something else I don't want to have to deal with. I hate my life. I just kinda wish I'd never been born. If nothing else my kids deserved a lot better than their father and I.

Okay, I have to stop or I'm just going to keep crying as I type. As always I'm tired. But I won't sleep tonight. I'm starting to wonder if I need to go to the hospital thought. I'll give it another day or two maybe and see how I do. If this keeps up, I don't know . . .

Love is Love No Matter the Distance!

I mood has only dipped once since it elevated last month. It was a residule to a couple years ago and my big breakdown then. However, after three days it left me and I am back to my happy self again! It makes things all the better because my Aussie has stayed at my side. Though I didn't talk too much to him during the darkness of my depression he was worried about me. That says so much to me. To have someone you care about care about you in return is HUGE!

The fact that my Aussie is still here beside me has helped my mood stay high. For Valentine's Day (his time. LOL!) I decided to write out how I felt. I started with my first impression of him and how things had progressed from there. I mean, it all started by me seeing his picture and liking his smile. A smile can say a thousand words sometimes. At first, I thought how he'd make a good friend and contacted him. He excepted my friendship and from there our relationship just bloomed. I truly love him. He brought parts of me back to life I thought were dead. He awakened my heart. I may never see him in my whole life, but I hope for a day I can. He has inspired me to do better for myself. I am trying to eat better and get sun at the park so I'm not so pale. I just think about photos being taken that I can send to him.

The great thing too is that he doesn't care if I'm fat or thin. He loves me for me. I have a part of his heart that no one else has. He told me so for Valentine's. And he has my heart. Even though he lives half a world away, he's never far from my thoughts or heart. He inspires me. he comforts me . . . he has been there for me . . .

Love is the best thing one can have in the world. Love from your children, love from your friends and love for a certain person that owns your heart . . .
