I’m going to try to put a little humor on a rough topic. With this week being so stressful, I felt really anxious and down. No panic attacks, but I had trouble finding the urge to do anything at night. There was a lethargy that cloaked me and I even went to bed early a few times, which is unusual. I brought these issues up to some people and most were understanding. Others seemed to be more interested in spouting advice that one swears would be found in a badly written self-help book. You know the one. It was written by a person who has never suffered from depression or anxiety, but they’ve read about it or known someone who they haven’t helped in the least. Anyway, here we go with a few laughs and I threw some serious ones in too:

Super memes. Maybe those who see these will have a little more empathy. I especially like the last one.

😀 I love the first meme the most.
By chance, did you ever read my “Depression for Dummies” article? It’s on James Edgar Skye’s blog and I wrote it after feeling frustrated at bad advice.

The first one was what I purposely hinted for. I believe I read that post a while back unless it was another one.

Yes, humor on a rough topic. I loved and smiled at all the quotes, until the last one. You just don’t know what someone is going through. Really. So, be kind. Period. Thank you, Charles.

I stress over everything, but don’t admit any problems. I am, however, on three different hypertension drugs. Tonight, I’m adding a bit of whiskey to the mix. I don’t believe life is supposed to be this way. I really am cheering for you from behind this bottle.

Thanks. I tried to enjoy a bottle of sparkling sake yesterday. Didn’t remember what sparkling meant and kind of juggled the bottle while walking up the stairs. I got one small cup after the rest exploded like Okd Faithful.
