My cumbersome cuts deep into hunched shoulders, furrowing my brows with distressed thoughts habitual. My too much and not enough dichotomy concretes me where I sit with eyelids of lead. My body has betrayed me and I it. Pain shadows each movement. Comfort commandeers my thoughts and dictates my motivation. Faith weaken and wearied by “It’s just one of those things” “Get used to it” and the all-knowing surmise that the one size fits all cure is exercise. Pain panders to weaknesses of mind, body and Soul. It greases a slippery slope down into a deep dark hole. The darkness is quiet and peaceful as a tomb, lulling me to sleep and blissfully unaware of all my gloom. LGR©6/2/15 |

Been in a bit of a funk for a while now. I'm not liking it. I'll muddle my way through, I always do. But until then I have a grade A state of the art pity pot I'll be sitting on. |

I'm rootin' for you, but its not what you think. Misery loves company. You got a lot of dust on your pity pot, I think I'll blow it off for you just in case you drop by to use it and keep me company. |

Depression is a lot like snow and sex... you never know how much you are going to get or how long it is going to last...  ~L |

The darkness can be a great place to hide, indeed. Surprised to find you here though, Lori. Tis o.k. though, I know you're just visiting.  Michael |

Michael, Eh, me and depression go way back. I think one of my meds has pooped out on me. Time to tinker with the ole chemical balance. The last couple of days have been better though... ~L |
