I haven't posted anything for 3 days as have been feeling really low, I've had no interest in anything, even my garden All i wanted to do was stay in bed and do nothing other than sleep. Depression makes you feel alone even If you have people around you, I close myself off, I stop talking and have no interest. My hubby noticed the change in me, he knows what to look out for, he came back from shopping with a big bunch of flowers, they made me smile but coming out of depression isn't as easy as that I wish it was, he knows that its just his way to show he is there for me.
He even dragged me out of bed on Saturday and took me out for coffee with his mum, I had planned just to stay in bed but when he got his mum involved I didn't have a choice, I pushed myself to get ready and did enjoy myself but with having no energy today has been a do nothing day, I stayed in bed until lunchtime, I willed myself to get up and go into my garden.
It has been pretty windy over the last few days, when I go into my There was a few things blown over and my flowers needed a good water, I managed to do that then sat for a good while doing some meditation, thank you @sallybeth23 for the app, I will continue to use it. Also a massive Thank you too @animal-shelter @inber @divaliciouss @artedellavita @creatr @sokoloffa @reddust @shawnamawna @len.george @yesterdaytheworl @jlufer @goldenroom @paolobeneforti @s3g3 For the thoughtful and kind messages. I am trying to push myself, Took me all day to push myself to write this.
In my garden today I found a few beautiful flowers, I am sending these to anyone suffering at the minute and a big THANK YOU to all those lovely people who left me kind messages, thank you for taking the time to think about me.
I AM TAKING ONE DAY AT A TIME, LOOKING FORWARD AND NOT BACK, BEING THANKFUL FOR WHO I HAVE IN MY LIFE AND TRYING TO THINK POSITIVE
Thank you @son-of-satire
Thank you @artedellavita
I never really understood depression, until of course I had to deal with it myself. A few thing just got on top of me, it happens us all. Hope you tomorrow is a brighter day

Dear Karen, I can uderstand you. As you wrote "Depression makes you feel alone even If you have people around you" and I know that in the "bad moments" there's no words that can help to stay really up. People who loves us may a great source for us and they help to stay strong and to wait that "bad moments" passed away.

Hi Karen, I have suffered from depression my whole life, well not quite, it started at age 16 after a trauma I suffered and has never left me. I am on medication and 90% of the time I can cope fairly normally. I have developed different mechanisms to help me over the rough patches. Hang in there and if you need an ear, feel free to write.

It is a pleasure. I know what it feels like. The standard answer everyone gives you is, why not just buck up and shake it off, they really really don't understand it at all.

Beautiful flowers. So sorry that you aren't feeling well. My Mother suffered from depression and we all learned to watch for the "signs" when it was coming. We did the best we could to help. That was many years ago and such a "hit" of "miss" try. I hope you will feel better really soon.

What good it is to see and read your post dear friend @ karenb54, when I did not see any message these days I imagine that I had a relapse, happiness to your dear husband who knows and understands.

Hello dear @karenb54
I'm very sorry you feel bad. Nor have I been able to visit you because I have been a little busy.
I have a cancer patient at home. I need a lot of help and here, I can not. I was helping in a couple of houses to clean and I received a little payment to pay for laboratory tests this Monday.
I will try to come these days. You must overcome depression.
I'll give you a hug y una rosa

La depresión es una compañera de viaje, bastante incomoda, en este trayecto que hacemos por nuestras vidas y sin embargo está allí esperando cualquier estado de desesperanza para caernos encima sin compasión. Tiene múltiples pieles como el camaleón y se disfraza de tristeza cuando menos lo esperamos, o se convierte en un peso que nos lleva a la inamovilidad, pareciera que nos agota nuestra energía. Sin embargo debemos aprender a domarla, a vencerla; debemos usar nuestros mejores trajes de guerreros para no permitirle que nos venza, los guerreros que somos en nuestras vidas no cedemos la victoria a los monstruos internos que han formado nuestros quistes emocionales, y Usted parece una guerrera de gran estirpe, Usted es protagonista en la construcción de ese amor que su esposo le profesa, el amor no se construye solo. Usted siembra la belleza en cada una de sus flores, eso es ser atrevido para lograr que la naturaleza haga brotar sus mas lindos colores para satisfacción de quienes lo acompañan, su jardín es una demostración de su fuerza interior. No se que eventos ha vivido Usted que le haya producido esos estados emocionales, pero, recuerde que la vida nos pone en escenarios que no elegimos para probar nuestra fuerza interior y nuestras capacidades de enfrentarla y superar cada obstáculo que se nos presente. A veces los estados emocionales son brújulas que nos sirven para orientar nuestras acciones hacia objetivos mas sublimes. Disculpe mi intromisión pero me pareció muy valiente al exponerse a que compartamos sus emociones. Gracias por permitírnoslo, me siento honrado por Usted. Buena suerte en sus viajes internos y confíe en Usted porque Usted se lo merece y su familia también.
Depression is a companion of travel, quite uncomfortable, in this journey that we do for our lives and yet it is there waiting for any state of hopelessness to fall us over without compassion. It has multiple skins like the chameleon and disguises itself of sadness when we least expect it, or it becomes a weight that leads to the immobility, it seems that it exhausts our energy to us. However we must learn to tame it, to overcome it; We must wear our best warrior outfits to not let you defeat us, the warriors that we are in our lives do not give victory to the inner monsters that have formed our emotional cysts, and you look like a warrior of great stature, you are the protagonist in the Building that love that her husband professes, love is not built alone. You sow beauty in each of your flowers, that is to be daring to get nature to sprout its most beautiful colors to the satisfaction of those who accompany it, your garden is a demonstration of your inner strength. I do not know what events you have experienced that have produced these emotional states, but remember that life puts us in scenarios that we do not choose to test our inner strength and our ability to face it and overcome every obstacle that presents itself. Sometimes emotional states are compasses that serve to direct our actions towards more sublime goals. I apologize for my intrusion but I found it very brave to expose us to share your emotions. Thank you for allowing me, I am honored by you. Good luck on your internal trips and trust in You because You deserve it and your family too.

Keep your head up! It is an awful illness, and I know it doesn't just go away. Keep pushing and giving yourself small goals. Eventually, there is a light at the end of the tunnel...
