So how many inches are they supposed to get creamed with?

Oh, DK..........*sigh*

I'm depressed. I need something to look forward to...a job offer, a trip, a social outing...SOMETHING.

I'm trying to stay upbeat, but it's getting harder and harder to do so. Every utility bill that comes in gets more and more expensive every month, and I can't even get an interview for any kind of job, despite my qualifications. I try not to think about it, but I'm scared. What am I going to do if I don't get employment within the next month?

I feel so cut off from everyone and everything. The highlight of my day was going to buy gas and then to buy my brother a birthday card at Walgreens. Other than that, I'm sitting here at home because I'm afraid to go out and spend any money.

I guess this should have gone under rants.

Best thing for depression ----exercise. It also gives you something to look forward to, i.e. a goal.

You don't have to belong to a gym or spend money. Just bundle up (if it's still cold outside) and head out for 30 minutes. Walk hills and at a fast pace. You'll sweat your ass off, literally.

I promise you will feel better. Why not start a new health regimen while you have the time? Give it 2 weeks and you'll find it gives you energy too.

Gosh I love that movie.

If the weather would ever get warm enough, I would like to take my bike out and ride it. It has been bitterly cold here these past few days, though. I think (I'm hoping) the worst is over for good, as we're approaching mid-March. There's only 18 more days until Spring, and I'm certainly looking forward to warmer temperatures. By Thursday, they're calling for upper 60F temps into the weekend and even into next week, mid 50's. My furnace needs a break!

DK, I know it sucks when you feel like you have nothing to look forward to but the same four walls. I have a history of depression myself, so I know how that feeling just makes you feel like crap. I agree getting out of the house, whether it be for exercise or window shopping (which is free) or whatever might do you wonders. Sometimes when I have been cooped up in the house for too long, my depression only worsens, so it might help to just be around people. Maybe interacting w/ people in a volunteer job like Nay said, or, if you don't feel like talking to people, just chilling out with a latte at Barnes & Noble is a relaxing thing to do. You can read books and magazines without having to buy them, and you get to be around other people without having to make conversation with them, and you get out of the house.

I know life seems pretty yucky right now, but the old saying really is true..."This too shall pass." Something better will come along, and you will totally understand why you had to go through this bleak period first. Either that, or the something better that comes along will make you forget the rough times now. Hang in there! We're rootin' for ya!

*HUGS*

Oh yeah, I noticed Nay...I'll be back with a vengeance...lol!

Well...maybe...lol!

Nay, do you even know who the Rangers are? I'm very impressed with your story....it is so true.

II hate the cold. Bring on the heat. And, no, I am not the devil.
