Wanting to cry...

[Kristen.NewCreation]

I so dislike when I feel moody and tearful with no apparent reason. Tonight I feel like crying. Inside my heart it feels sad and empty. It's been a good day overall. I've been feeling pretty good the last few days. Maybe part of it is that I haven't slept the best the last two nights, but I'm not sure.

Please pray for me - I really don't want to go through another major depression. It's so hard to fight when that's happening.

Holding on to Christ and His sustaining love,
Kristen

The sleep thing or it could just be monthly hormones.

I think crying is somewhat helpful for relieving certain emotions- so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Regardless, I will pray for you tonight.

Hoping and praying for you that depression will hold off. The symptoms are not good. I do hope you will receive the strength to survive if a new bout of depression comes your way.

I agree, it is OK to cry sometimes. When a person has LOTS of random crying that's more like depression. A random cry once in a while when you are female is quite normal.

And even if this is depression trying to come back, you can fight it. I know you said it is hard to fight but the earlier you start the easier it is.

Thank you for your prayers. Today I have not been able to contain the tears, so it has been challenging at times (because of my job). But I do know that the tears can be cathartic.

Thank you.

In Him,

You are so right. I have already started fighting by eating better and spending time with some friends. I hope to get a better night sleep tonight.

BTW... I'd say this is a more random cry - last night and tonight.

Thanks for your thoughts and gentle reminder to take care of me.

In Him,

I remember I used to feel stressed out about going to work, so I would stay home and sleep on the couch, I spent a long time in recovery mode, now I am in working mode. I want to work as much as possible really so I can improve my life and help out my parents.

I get nervous when I see myself starting to take it easy, like oh no, Thomas is going to the couch again. It is like they say, a rolling stone gathers no moss, I intend to be the rolling stone for a long time.

I hope you get better, the terrible thing about depression you can't will it away, you almost got to wait it out.

I remember I used to get confused and I would stayhome if I felt confused, and just wait for that to pass. I swear I can feel so out of it sometimes, like I just day dreamed way too long about something and now I am absent minded. It is weird when I get like that.

It's true, I can't just will away my depression. I do know from previous cycles of depression that when I fail to do things to help me that it comes on much faster, where if I get the rest I need and eat better, and try to do things that I feel better about it slows or stops it - depending on when I notice the warning signs.

I've not been able to take any medications for depression since 2003, maybe 2004. I had a surgery that must have flipped my wiring around because they have tried me on several antidepressants since then and I end up suicidal. This last year has been very hard since one of my docs had put me on a steroid for medical reasons. That put me in the hospital for a good while and I was off work for a month.

I like your picture of being a rolling stone. I think that helps me too - the doing helps.

Take care of you too.

In Him,
Kristen
