Wow. His name was George Floyd. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I was wondering about that too. I've been checking it and no ones ever in there.

none of this sounds safe.

Numbers keep going up. My state opens up soon. Gosh. What in the world!

I'm not even sure sometimes now. Days are the same. Gosh, and this covid19 may run into the end of the year?????????????????????

You seem to be on the right road. Searching. Good. Talking to someone, and if medication helps. Good. Now, how about being kinder to yourself, see? Being nicer and more patient? I had too. No more saying pathetic loser, you're NOT. Words are very powerful, watch the words you say to yourself. Call yourself good. Nice. Intelligent. Kind. Fair. Change the way you think about yourself, I sure am. And yeah it's work, it's not easy. We're so programmed to, belittle ourselves. And I'm tired of treating myself this way. So, you're on the right road. Now be kind to yourself and let's all survive, no, THRIVE in this most tough year.

Today, I think I feel ok. Whenever my nephew and I spend time together, I'm so lucky he's just this cool, sweet kid. Funny. Easy to get along with. So today was okay. @watalife I hope things start looking up for you.

For me, a great therapist (we talk every week, sometimes zoom in). Getting away from people who trigger me. I hate to say it, but family can be a big trigger (for me) and I had to put my foot down so now I'm the bad person--and now I don't care. My emotional health is a priority. There's so much that goes into trying to keep depression at bay. Also, since I think it ran unchecked in both my parents/hereditary, I too wonder is it always going to linger in the back? I read a lot, try to do what I enjoy, I'm VERY careful who I am around. I must say I have two pastors that call and check on me, but I hate bringing up religion, ya know? Sometimes I just need to be alone, probably a lot. At work it's super hard to control who you're around, so I have to try to find a job where there's not a lot of people--again, these are things I can't control. But again and again, I try. But yeah, I too hate and wonder, where it always be there? And again, I'm super grateful when I see beautiful flowers, hear a great piece of music, movies, books, a painting. Nature. Peace. Quiet. Laughter. Meeting a kind person! I appreciate everything.

Welcome, welcome! And virtual hugs all around

Just a lot of worry.. about covid19

You're not a throwaway, and yes I know you mean society treats and considers you that. But, for me, others on here--like if I don't hear from you I worry and I get sad. You're so kind, thoughtful, I, we need people like YOU. Yes, please protect yourself, please stay safe. You matter to me, to us here on DF.

Thanks Floor2017. Kind words are really needed right now.

Lots of Netflix. If I watch the news I'll truly believe there is no tomorrow... which I'm already scared about.

We Love You

Yes there are reasons to be worried. I currently have the flu, and just going out to another doctor worries me. My main doctors are all spread out to other hospitals so I'm dealing with docs who--I'm not feeling cared for, ya know? People aren't taking this virus seriously, which means it's going to spread, the numbers are going to be ridiculous after awhile. Just everybody please be safe, cautious, and Epictetus good for you for storing masks due to your past flu's. That's smart! Yes when I can I'm going to stores super early too. Thanks for naming that mask which can be reusable.. Let's all hang in there.

Yours is so funny!! Here's my fav: A Streetcar Named Desire Blanche DuBois: But some things are not forgivable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable! It is the one unforgivable thing, in my opinion, and the one thing of which I have never, never been guilty.
