Day 5 of the black hole

Its day 5 of my experience of the black hole.
Mostly I have been in bed, havent eaten much.
I rang work to let them know I wouldnt be in again today.

I was picked to do training - and asked if I could be put back on the rosters for my usual shifts ( Thursday, Friday, Saturday)

I am determined to learn from this depression and get better. I am sick of being sick... of feeling the way I do.. empty, lost, in a black hole.

Spending almost 5 days in bed has been such a waste!

I havent told my Mum or Dad - they are away.. and worry too much..
I will ring some friends and organise some get togethers.
I am going to walk the dogs now and make myself something for dinner.
I rang my counsellor this afternoon - she is new - I havent had a session with her yet, and asked if I could see her tommorrow instead of waiting till next Monday.
Because I havent been 'functioning', I thought it would be best to see her asap.
I am going to see if one of my friends can come stay over for some company and distraction.

This happens to me for 4 or 5 days. Now, just keep moving, socialise when you can, do the training. It's ok you needed a rest, it doesn't make you a bad person nor beyond it either. It's your business only..I'm glad you are feeling a bit better..keep going.

Get to the counsellor and please try to get to work. You need to get out of the house and work is your reason for getting out. I don't have the reason of work and the four walls are not always a good look and the bed can't help you solve your problems. Nana naps are okay but not for a long period of time. Get out and about and get some company to stay with you - motivate you to get out and about.

Go Blue!!!
