In a bid for openess, I am letting you know that the last few months have been really tough for me. I have had some good days & moments, still managed to smile & feel happy for a while but underneath it all, I've had a dark black cloud looming. A numbness that steals the happiness and a sadness I can't truly shake. After a particularly bad anxiety attack last week, I got worse. Today I increased my meds in a hope to feel better soon. Wish me luck?

Cathythoughts I wish you luck. All will be well ❤️💫💫 6y

BookwormAHN I wish you luck and send hugs. I understand your pain as I also suffer from depression and anxiety 💚 6y

Sarah83 Hope you feel better pretty soon 🤗 6y

This is a pic of my bed, of which I haven't been in since 2am. It is now 12:41. It was not voluntarily. I'm exhausted. I just got home from an important dr's appt to decide what to do about my uterus, where I also had a biopsy done. I want to cry. But I can't. Because the house has to be cleaned and clothes washed and dishes done. Apparently my fiancee cannot do any of that.

Thanks for letting me vent, Littens.

Prairiegirl_reading Cry first. The dishes can wait. 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess I am so sorry! You can email me at akallas@loyola.edu if you need to talk about this. I had uterine cancer two years ago. 7y

cobwebmoth Hugs! Sending positive thoughts. 7y

WarpedSweetness @Prairiegirl_reading @cobwebmoth @Smrloomis @Shannon_McKinney @Tamra @miralunasbooknook Thanks so much, guys. I just needed a safe place to vent, and I always feel so safe on Litsy. I didn't cry, but I did lay in bed instead and ignore all other responsibilities. 7y

WarpedSweetness @Graciouswarriorprincess I'm really glad you fought cancer! And thank you. I will email you if you don't mind. 7y

WarpedSweetness @megt Thank you!! @JoeStalksBeck Thank you! It is always nice to have people other than my therapist to vent to. @CouronneDhiver Thank you. I finally was able to get to sleep around 10:30pm, with a sick baby attached to me in my bed. Lol @EchoLogical That is okay. I have so appreciated everyone's kind words and love and support. They do! And thank you for your email!! 7y

I have suffered with depression for years and when bad things happen in my life I find it very difficult to stay on track. Books are my release, for a few hours a day I can lose myself in someone else's life. Today I really need to lose myself so I'm hoping that I can do that. I know that some Littens will know exactly what I mean, more so than my family and friends.

This isn't book related, but I'm just in shock at the death of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. When I was a sophomore in high school, I couldn't get enough of this "new and awesome band." Their music helped me through some tough teenage years and, though I haven't fully cried yet, I feel such sadness. If you know anyone who is depressed and/or talks about suicide, please encourage them to seek help.

MrBook Great band. 😔 7y

LaraReads So very sad. 😥 7y

KathyWheeler Oh no! I had not heard about this. So sad, and so soon after Chris Cornell's suicide. 😞 7y

BekahB My friend just told me a couple hours ago. So sad. 🙁 7y

Notafraidofwords It's so sad. 7y

This new series from Penguin includes some great short reads. Most of the texts are excerpts from longer books, but the specifics are included on the back of each release. It's been a long time since I've read any Styron so this was the obvious choice for my next read.

Suet624 I spy a homemade placemat. Love it. 7y

DennisJacobRosenfeld @Suet624 We always rock some type of homemade placemat courtesy of my girlfriend :-) 7y
