It's been quite a weekend. I cried for the past three days. Saturday I was exhausted from working, and from the emotional meltdown I've been going through. But I slept well that night, first time in a while. Yesterday I walked the dogs and didn't do any work except what I wanted to do. I putzed in the garden for awhile and made bread. Was still feeling pretty low last night. But this morning things are looking better.  My qualifier is still bingeing, there is still so much work to be done, our truck still isn't running, I still have no friends nearby, etc., etc.  But none of that matters. I feel as though I'm getting my strength back and will be alright. That's not to say I won't have another meltdown in the future. But if I do, I know I'll get through it with the help of the folks here and by putting myself in HP's hands. Thanks for all the encouragement, love, and support when I needed it so much.

I have found when I am lonely I pray for HP to be there with me.. and I get a sense of peace and serenity. He works miracles and they are prominent through me and my AH. He has never talked so spiritual and I have never had so much faith in my heart.

Hi Pineappple

Thanks for closing the circle and updating us on your life. 

It truly is a One Day at a Time program.  I am glad you moved thru the weekend with grace and prayer.

Please keep connecting here. It does help to feel not alone

It has to be so darned hard to be somewhere so special yet feel so alone!

Do you even have electricity? I am sure that when you don't feel good, your hard working life is harder. generator??

I am glad you come here and let us know what is going on and how you are. I know talking to hp does it for me.

Something happened that I think was my fault. I cannot fix it. It's eating me up so bad I had to totally give it to hp. if I think about it I turn it over. It does work after the initial horrible feeling. If I could control it, do something that would help.

Being sad and depressed is so hard. I am glad you may have felt some improvement even if it is tiny.I don't know what your options are, but maybe thinking about them might help.

I know for me when I am on a fun group who have a like interest, guinea pigs or pigs or whatever, I don't feel so alone. After awhile I end up with a few to chat with then email

Anyway I bet there are others like you in foreign countries who would love to share with you.

Hey I do! hugs,debilyn

GLAD
i am reducing from medication and have had chronic insomnia for last 6 mnths and the last 3 months of that chronic depression- but i jjst shuffled my way through it till i can out th other side. i think we do come out the other side of things of we give it enough time.

dont forget to eat well pineapple as i find i can get very low- very quickly without the nutrients that feed our brain as well as our bodies. and lack of sleep- this can govern our moods like mad.
im wondering if there is no one you can get to help you? have you asked around- maybe someone MIGHT help for the exprience/reference or barter?

If it's any consolation, I'm in a very dark place...really trying to live one minute at a time...I have to teach all day today..and that's hard to do when I am without hope.

When i'm down like this I wonder if it will end, and I feel like my HP gave up on me a while ago.
