Holding yourself together is sometimes so hard @Eve7 

I hope the pdoc is able to help you out tomorrow

Can you do something nice for yourself tonight?

Not going great. Keep having prn to make myself sleep so I don't have to deal with things. Know I need to deal with things eventually but just got no energy to do it.

I hear you @Snowie @and I understand how hard it can be to deal with things.

I did something really stupid the other night but my pdoc has been good to me. She said I have to think of myself and see myself as worthy. She’s talked to my son too and I think that has helped by saying depression can be fatal and she had no magic formula. So, I’m trying to be kind to me and change my thinking about me.

I’m only sharing this because I hope it might resonate with you too. 💜

I totally get it hon @Eve7 

It is so hard to see ourselves as worthy sometimes. Often we see it in others but not ourselves, and it can be hard to change that thinking.

It is like our deepest demon is so critical of ourselves but can see the light and hope in others. It is sometimes hard to change that thinking and see us as worthy.

I hope by talking to your son that it helps a little. It sounds like the pdoc is on your side and going on this journey with you. It is so good to hear that you have others have your back 💜

[Eve7]

Yes, so right @Snowie  and pdoc doesn’t tell me to think of the family and friends who will be affected. She says “get yourself right and give yourself permission to live.”

[Snowie]

Your pdoc sounds very wise @Eve7 

We do have to put ourselves first even though that is so hard to do.

I hope you are able to get a good nights sleep tonight.

Am going to head to bed and try and get some sleep.

Will check in with you tomorrow 💗
