I suffer from Depression all of the time, It just becomes much, much worse during the holidays. It’s like Depression with an extra dose of depression ontop of it.
You know bananas are a natural anti-depressant, try a banana smoothie sometime and see if that helps.
I usually have a banana smoothie mixed with a few walnuts and a dollop of chocolate ice-cream to keep my mood up
Ill stick with feeling worthless year round thank you very much
None of this variable nonsense
I take Korean Panax Ginseng, it is a vitamin you can get at the store, it helps hormone balance and health wellness. Some people feel depressed due to hormone imbalance sometimes. I also take vitamin B for energy and Sunflower Lecithin. If you take prescribed medication ask your doctor if it’s ok to take vitamins.
Sadly depression is only a part of the emotional mess that is me. There’s paranoia, severe social anxiety, insomnia. Borderline personality disorder which makes things nearly impossible at times. It is so hard to explain how heightened and completely messed up my emotions are most of the time. When something triggers an emotional overload, trying to return to normal is really hard. It makes most relationships end in a burning tram wreck. Which is why I have been alone for so long. I cannot regulate my emotions and that makes the anxiety depression and everything else so much harder to deal with.
I have a lot of trouble talking to people because of that. Most don’t understand what that is like. Which is why I like the people here in the lounge, because some do understand.

“So are fresh picked strawberries, but you have to eat them right off the plant.”
I didn’t cry today for the first time, which was a nice change of place. Oh I had some tearful moments, though nothing to the extent of the first two days. Nothing wrong with crying, of course. It just feels nice not to be grieving so hard I turn into a blubbering mess of a man.
I keep looking over at Mackie’s favourite haunts, or expect him to greet me at the door when I return from an errand. I am so used to him chatting with me whenever I moved around the apartment that the silence is off-putting.
Thankfully I have friends in both my real life and online who have been checking up on me, such as those of you here in the Lounge.
Each post, phone call, or text message has been a blessing. My youngest brother showed up without warning and took me out to eat; I wasn’t even aware of how hungry I truly was.
Cottonball has kept my attention more grounded in reality, making sure to maintain his happiness. He still needs fed, fresh water, clean litter, loves his treats, and day/nighttime snuggles. Lots of playtime chasing a laser pointer or playing his favourite of hide-and-seek.
Just yesterday I contacted a freelance vector artist for a custom photograph of Mackie. I have one from months earlier from another site, and decided I wanted another. I didn’t ask for any kind of pawprint or such.
It was both my and his Mummies fondest wish that his remains be donated to science. If his being can help teach a new generation of aspiring Veterinarians the feline anatomy, or allow for scientific testing, than he’s given even more love to the world.
Each day will become a litter easier, and he will always be missed.

I hope you really don’t feel like that. /:
I just noticed that I said ‘litter’ here instead of ‘little’.
Being a Cat Dad isn’t just something you do, it’s part of who you are. That, and the lack of proper sleep. -giggles-

“They are also really radioactive! … Sorry my gnomish side. And well radioactive for a fruit… Still safe though!!”
“Other than that I was only popping in!”
Omgosh the number of extra triggers for depression in December is insane
There will be moments. They might sneak up on ya from time to time, but nothing wrong with it
Ok that made me smile

Gnomey purrs are a good counter to Mehdays and awful Murlocs
