Every morning I wake up, I have this feeling of dread and "incoming doom" which is so severe that I don't want to wake up. After I do my morning chores and get some grip of my responsibilities, the feeling fades out. I've wondered is this just some "morning confusion" or a symptom from something.

Not that I am saying you have it.....but my mother suffered from bad depression and she usually had this terrible feelings when she woke up in the morning and later on during the day it got better....just a thought.... :)

been driving round the bush today and as I was doiing so, I encountered many changing landscapes which triggered memories, both good and bad,,,,,,like, the certain time of the day....afternoon with a certain tree or landscape whould trigger a sad memorie of a hospital where I once visited a terminally ill familie member....or in the morning other landscapes whould remind me of a much loved farm where I grew up..... makes my day quite full of emotion... :)

I feel like I'm making an ass out of myself, but I'm upset because yes sometimes it would be nice to have a reply and feel heard.

Awe *hugs* ... Well, I'm sorry, I can not hear you ... but, at the very least, I can read what you post (and reply) ^__^

Edit: At least you are heard on PerC ^__^

Its interesting to watch this rivalry/animosity between the U.S. and China continue to grow. You just really get this sense of how the U.S. feels threatened by China (and can't stand it) while watching the Olympics. I've been noticing the ways many of the commentators speak about China and the Chinese athletes during events. Some of them don't even mask their underlying contempt as it seeps out in the subtle little ways they describe the Chinese athletes' performances. And every time the U.S. medal count is higher than the Chinese, the news stations are in such a hurry to display it.. lol. It kind of makes me laugh. Deep down we are all 7 years. Including me ..

It almost reminds me a little of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry because of the bad blood. Two teams that have their eye on each other, are somewhat similar in strength and power, DON'T like to lose, and are not used to losing that often. So when they battle, its an all out war with a lot on the line... mostly pride, or perhaps a lot more. When I watch the Olympics, I start getting that familiar feeling.. Deja vu. I've been here before... And I expect and anticipate blood.

Hmm, I've been diagnosed with a depression before, but I didn't really believe the diagnosis to be correct.. I'm not sure do I live in a denial of some kind. I've always wondered how depression can really be objectively "measured" as we all feel emotions at different degrees. Also the symptoms can be anything from over-eating to not-eating to completely normal eating, and such.

"How to cheat on your husband with your husband?" Yahoo news is getting dumber every day; I'm now petrified and slightly disturbed...

These days I've been feeling sleepy and half-awake, and the days are somewhat blurry as they slip by, lasting far too long, and yet disappearing too quickly. I'm tired, sad, feeling the need to let it out but not even sure what "it" is. I'm trapped inside myself, physically and emotionally, and worn thin. I have a feeling things are about to get better, though, because I'm reaching the point where I either descend even deeper, becoming a hibernating creature, hardly stirring myself; or, I rise up again, because eventually this will cause me to snap. I'm glad I don't have to rely on my own strength to get me out of this, because I have almost none left. At any rate, I don't care enough to try to muster it.

But I know He'll give me what I need. Already it's rising within me. Ultimately, this time in life (all of life, really) is meaningless, but I can deny it, striving for...something. Something that won't ever satisfy me, that will just leave me empty and lonely once again. Or, I can accept it, and either plod on in resignation, waiting to die someday, or I can make the most of it with the only things in this life that actually matter: other people. And God. Apart from him, what is my purpose? To make the world a better place? Human nature makes that a futile exercise in the long run, and no positive changes will last forever before the inherent selfishness of our race brings us continuously lower. Seriously, look at our culture nowadays. Look at how shortsighted and meaningless everything has become. As long as we are broken, all things tend toward chaos and evil, however much the good manages to keep things contained.

But anyway, rambling about human nature can't change it. And one day, things will be perfect, as they were meant to be in the beginning. It is my part to love as best I can, and hope that I can make the world better for a few people in my lifetime. Thinking positively and caring for others is the only thing I have some control over, so I better make the most of it.

I go through this cycle often, but this is the time to rise back out of the dry season. I see rain clouds in the distance, and things are about to get better. They must get better. I depend on it. Thank you, God.

I'm so grateful the summer is almost over.

Why do people go to the place where they know they'll be accepted, and go there with a friend? They should go to places where acceptance is doubtful, and they should go alone.
