Appears that each day-upon wakening-nothing seems to change---
Doug called and we had a loooong chat----
He is wonderful at understanding why I cannot shake the blues---
I should be thankful that I am able to function without any interruptions,yet I sit here and wonder *what's it all about*?? cus what will be will be--and my trying to figure things out wont change things--

We are invited to our friends in Virginia Beach---now who wouldnt wanna go and enjoy such an invite?? ME--thats who----so nothing changes cus I am the cork in the bottle that

wont pop off~~~
Just had to ease out the words---

Wishing all a great day----
Barbara

Barbara,

Please vent all you want. I remember how down I was after I lost my Mom. I would start crying for no reason and couldn't stop. You have had a lot of loss in your life this past 12 months. In time, this too shall pass.

Barbara, maybe going would help. Sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope you feel better soon.

Morning Barbara,

I so hope this passes soon for you. I am now out of the black hole and feeling better and wish that for you too. Pack the bags and head to VA Beach - will be the pick me up you just might need.

Love, Maggie

Sometimes a change of scenery helps. Hope you decide to take the trip.

if they are true friends, they wont mind if you are unsettled or if you are having a potty day

this condition makes us isolated and alienated too much, if you have the chance to get out and be with people i think you should take it!
then again totally empathise that sometimes it is nice to stay in the safe cave and give your heart, your mind and your body time to heal

take care

big hugs

Barbara,

Sorry to hear you are so blue. You have some cumulative grief to deal with and that takes time to resolve. Allow yourself to feel sad, but don't allow your self to feed into the depression. Set aside some time everyday to focus on your losses. But then make sure you are doing things to help yourself get past it. Exercise is a natural antidepressant - this article was in USAToday just this morning http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/pai ... 6_ST_N.htm Also, don't isolate - that gives you more time to think and feeds depression rather than fights it. You may not be your usual bubbly self, but going to VA Beach may be a great change of scenery.

Hugs,

Mary Beth
