Fighting Like Hell

Well through the deepest, darkest depression of my life, 

I managed to only be one post behind in my challenges.

Now, that my friends, is a miracle in itself.

I have been fighting this latest depression for over a month.

And I promise you I will fight like hell to get through it.

I prayed last night for a sign and I woke up feeling a teensy bit better.

I'll take it! 

Therefore, I decided not to admit myself into the hospital today.

I will not be fooled by my distorted thoughts.

I know that people do care but they just don't understand

how incapacitating depression can be. 

They are right, I will get through it (not necessarily over it), 

maybe not now, tomorrow or next week but soon.

Here is a quote that I live by:

"Be patient, my soul, thou has suffered worse than this"...Homer

Now, I feel that I truly understand.  The meaning is very clear to me now!

Quote

"When you feel in your gut what

 you are and then dynamically pursue it 

  - don't back down and don't give up -

 then you're going to mystify a lot of folks." 

** Bob Dylan

Interesting Quote

"I say, if you've trouble believing in yourself, the least you can do first is STOP believing the bullshit others say to put you down. Yep. Stop it. They're all lies. And they're from people who are not worthy of your respect, much less your friendship. It could be that you're listening to others so much that you forget how to believe in yourself. Don't waste your time on such people. Hang out with positive people only. Find new friends. 
Make sense? There's too much bullshit out there today. Sadly, a lot of us believe in it somehow"--Alden Tan

I just checked my email and I opened this one from Alden Tan. The words he said just jumped out at me.  Simple, yet so real.  I see that Alden Tan likes keeping it real, no sugar coating and that is what I like about the guy.  I, too, just want to keep it real.  I am me, no matter what mood I am in, how I am feeling, and/or no matter what I have to say.  If I have good advice or just giving my opinion, I promise to always keep things real with my readers.  I am not going to be someone I am not.  

Life is not better, so to speak, if you eat a cupcake, but it sure does taste good for a minute. So enjoy yourself, believe in yourself, and life will be better and the joy will last longer than a cupcake. 

Sometimes someone who we don't even know, will give us the best advice, right at us in our face advice.  Stop!  Collaborate and listen, in the name of love, or whatever oldies song you want to insert, *Being Silly* but seriously folks, avoid the bullshit that unhappy people may dish out to you.  

Life is not better, so to speak, if you eat a cupcake, but it sure does taste good for a minute. So enjoy yourself, believe in yourself, and life will be better and the joy will last longer than a cupcake.  You deserve respect, not to be put down. Why?  Because I believe in you and so should you.

Keeps Me Going

I live my life one day at a time.

I try again today, even when it's hard.

I keep going for just one more day, today.

After I try today, tomorrow I will try again.

from the daily love

"Be patient, my soul, thou has suffered worse than this"--Homer

This quote is one that I refer back to often.  It reminds me that I am stronger than I could ever imagine and that I will get through the tough times.  I will never give up.  I will fight to stay alive.

"You've only been given a little spark of madness. 
You mustn't lose it"--Robin Williams

Enjoy the madness!
