I'm trying to get back into posting with you all more. I'm sorry elle. It's so hard having to make that decision even when you know it's for the best. I'm sorry jaygee and byjove and anyone else who is struggling.

Oh elle I’m so sorry. Big hugs. jaygee I’m sorry. It sucks to be unable to shake the “bad mood”. It happened to me the the winter and I added on Wellbutrin to my Zoloft and I got a therapy light lamp and it helped enough where when I needed to get off the Wellbutrin bc I found out I was pregnant, it was ok. Like I needed some extra help for a few months and I would have stayed on it if I hadn’t been pregnant but it was enough to help me through the SAD. And now life around us is shit so I’m genuinely shook when people are always happy. Lol

Sorry for giant Penelope Wilton. Or maybe not, she seems like a cool lady.

byjove and jaygee I just made a crack in another thread before coming in here about how seasonal depression almost broke me this time, but it was true. I wish I had advice, but just wanted to say sorry that you are struggling (and to anyone else in the same boat).

We're leaving for camping tomorrow and my anxiety is sky high. Not worrying about bad things happening, just the fact that I don't have my shit together and of course I have to work until 8pm.
I went to the liquor store and costco this morning before work and am doing a last list of things at the regular grocery store.
then I need to actually pack clothes for me and the kid, collect all the other things, etc.

Anyone want to help me with something totally frivolous? I have a wedding to go to in mid-September and no idea what to wear. It's an evening, indoor, country club, Tribal ceremony and reception, listed as "formal". It's been ages since I've been to a wedding and feel #new.

We did our last frozen embryo transfer yesterday and so now we just wait. Last time we did this they had me on bedrest for 2 days but they don't do that anymore. It feels weird to just be up and about. I'm making my girls purge some of their toys because they have way too much stuff. Adding another person to our tiny home will be tight.

elle I’m so sorry. How are you doing today? We're all still feeling pretty sad. The five year old woke up crying a few times in the night and the two year old immediately said "bring back my doggy" when the vet left with her afterwards. It's probably controversial that we had them there with us, but it was gentle and we figured it'd be worse for them if the dog just disappeared. Today I removed her water bowls and food bowl but my H doesn't want me to touch the blanket in "her spot" on the couch just yet. We had her with us for over 15 years and this will be the first time in almost 18 that we've been a dogless household. It definitely feels strangely empty even though all she was doing lately was sleeping, either on the couch or her bed.

fatpony, you can snooze people for 30 days. Sometimes I just don't have the patience to see...whatever they are doing...daily, but it feels fine a month later. I have a fair # of family members that I had to go ahead and unfollow though. I’ve also made it so that family members can’t see me in their feed. They have to put in effort to come to my page and see my children - don’t post enough for them to have ever missed me.
