I've been on the depression roller coaster lately, too. Most anything can set me off thinking dark thoughts and wanting to give up. It's a generalized thing. Not really bi-polar or anything (I assume I should have the "UP" times if that was the case, and that ain't happening...) I just have a lot of sadness and stress in my life. Plus my husband is very ill and getting worse (it's making it so his mind isn't quite right, anymore). His condition is terminal, so naturally it eats at my soul thinking about that, not to mention heightened anxiety (I tend to be anxious, anyway). I haven't heard from my youngest son in 8 months and while that isn't such a big deal since he's in the Navy, it still brings me down. Soooo....I really can empathize and sympathize with those feeling down in here lately. But..being on a bit of a bummer, myself, I'm not that great at cheering people up, I don't think! The Holidays do tend to be getting more difficult in the past couple of years. But...we keep on keeping on, don't we? And when we can find things to laugh about, or be glad about...what a blessing it is!
I'm glad every day that I found vaping and could ditch the smokes. Of course, as usual with my luck, after I find the solution to my smoking problem and am feeling good about myself on that front, the gubmint is gonna come along and muddy the waters trying to take it away from me and make life difficult again. Sheesh.
