oh well...

I hope this hasn't been an ongoing thing. Don't ignore depression if it's continuous.

You may not believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but there is. I'll pray for you.

I have felt depression looming for as long as I can remember. When I was about 8 or 9 years old I attempted talking with mother. Though it was in the dairy aisle of the grocery store, still it was my effort. I had zero understanding of what I felt or why it persisted. I told her I always felt bad for some reason, like I always wanted to cry. She replied that I just needed a good ass whooping. That was the end of that. I guess It's been going on for so many years that I have gotten used to it. Thank you for your prayers. That is always appreciated.

Yeah. I did make an effort on a few occasions. Get this... I was told that with out a Diagnosis that there was nothing that could be done to help me. I mean really. I did seek counseling also at one point and that also proved to be a farce. I'm one of those people who always end up with the worst doctor. It's like I'm a quack magnet or something.

I'm am so sorry to hear that. I've never heard of needing a diagnosis just to get some therapy. Prescription, yes but not just therapy. Maybe it's an insurance thing.

Then again, you make a good point about quacks. There are really good therapist out there and REALLY bad ones. The bigger problem is that you don't always know until after you've wasted time and money with them.

Please don't give up though. There is not much more important than your emotional well being but that is often the thing that is neglected the most.

The compounding thing about depression is that it keeps you from being motivated to resolve it. Please don't give up Nixie, you deserve healthy emotions.

Is there anything specific I can pray for you about? Do you have any questions of faith that I can help with?

Yeah, when I was siting there on that exam table telling the doctor all of this thinking this is how people get diagnosed, and she said that to me I felt like it was turning into a who's on first routine.

I find that meditation helps me a lot, also not staying isolated helps. Because as you may know, when you don't get interaction there is a 100% chance of going deeper into darkness. When I come in here and get laughing and meming with the community it often helps me feel a good bit better. I do not have friends out side of this website. I have a list of friends who aren't real friends at all on Facebook. But I never go there. That profile just sits idle.
I do tend to put myself last around here. Lately my trouble is I have a very strong suspicion that my husband is cheating. I have not confronted or brought it up to him. Mostly because I know my words fall on deaf ears. 100% of the time when I want to talk for any reason he does not listen and doesn't even acknowledge that I even spoke. He simply goes into talking about golf, or something about work, or whatever else. I am an invisible tool used to cook and clean and am generally ignored unless there is a need I may be able to meet. So that is what I am battling aside from the general depression. Thank you for asking, and for taking your time to talk with me here. It means a lot when someone shows that they care about the human inside.

I don't mind the mention or suggestion of our savior. While I can't say I walk a perfectly straight line, I am of the Christian Faith. I appreciate your talking with me openly and honestly. It's good to be able to vent and just talk.

There there

Don’t make this a chore. Step back, go outside and enjoy the Nicer weather and when the humor hits you, make a meme.

If I hadn’t signed up to do the typos event I would have taken that break starting today. :)

I am heading outside. Snow is mostly gone and it’s time to start cleaning up all the downed branches. It’s my therapy :)

Spring. I am near the great divide and it is starting to become amazing here.

Spring is definitely in the air here in Ga. I have sneezed enough today to last me forever.

Heading down for a weekend in Savana next month before heading to the parents in Florida. Looking forward to some warm weather :)

Sounds like a good time! We used to live in Florida. This is a great time to go there, since it's not TOO hot yet!

Hey, Boma, forgive me for butting in, but I live in Fl, and it’s been beautiful here lately. And we still have a couple mos. before the rainy season starts... 😃👍

I lived in Tampa, Clearwater, Tallahassee for most of my childhood. I know the weather well. My parents retired back to Florida and we go to visit them twice a year. I have one Uncle in Melbourne and my Brother in Law lives in Vero Beach so we get a round the state pretty well when we go. :)

Wow! Small world. I’ve lived in the Clw./St.Pete/NPR area since I was 15. Maybe I’ll see you ‘round one day! 😎👍

I am pretty sure my husband is cheating. Once I became aware that he probably is, it's like everything in me just drained away. I am reaching for effort in life in general now. I am deciding what to do and how to do it, or whether I should do anything at all. Blegh.

I went through that when I was younger and deployed and my wife of the time was with a friend while I was out fighting for the country. Looking back on it now it was the best thing that ever happened to me. You will be better for it in the end. Everything that happens makes you stronger. You will survive it I promise and something better will come from it in the end.

That's terrible. My husband was in the service years ago. We weren't married while he was away, we were off and on again though. He always told me about his friends who went through that. I can imagine what a wrecking ball to the gut that must be to have that happen.
Thank you for the encouragement. I have no one in this life that I can talk to, so I truly appreciate your saying that.

I’m my wife’s third husband. Took her a while to agree to get married again (years!), but next year while be 20 years married. Don’t give up, but don’t get stuck either. (Not the greatest advice)

I always say I will never shoot myself in the foot with marriage again. I guess time will tell. LOL

My 1st wife went off the deep end when we got the internet and met some really messed up people, one of which she met and had an affair with. It didn’t end well for her, or my family, and I said never again. I was given some advice and took it. I was not sure it would work but I knew it wouldn’t hurt anything if it didn’t. Best thing I ever did. Got a great new wife despite my skepticism. So take it day by day and work on healing yourself first. Prayers for you to find strength and confidence to face your future.

The internet. I firmly believe it has been a major downfall for many a relationship. Sorry to hear that happened. Thank you for your encouragement and reassuring words.

The ‘net is a tool. Great tool but also abused. Keep your head up.

If there is one thing I am good a, it's typos! LOL!

Time is the ultimate healer and eventually you will see that things that seem bad now are actually for the best in the long term.

I read your comments.
You’re awesome, one of the reasons I stuck around in the first place was because great people like you shared comments on memes.
Too many great people taking a “break” but I’m sure it’s always something that can only benefit you, both in and out of this meme life 😊
Cheers

Thanks! I take unintentional breaks. I get swept away in responsibility or memers block. But one thing is always true, if we (or at least me) can get in here and interact it always helps life the spirits. It's hard to stay at the lowest of lows when there is so much humor and fun and awesome people lifting you up. Imgflip has been the best online experience I could hope for.

Lol. I know the feeling, I just hope that I'll be seeing more of your memes in the future (•‿•)

I need to get the notebook out again. I used to keep one for ideas that hit me when I had no submissions left. It was great until I let the thing get buried in the household rubble!

nixieknox, u were one of the first to talk to me, and to see that u want to leave makes me sad.... your a good lady, online and i can tell from Cheesus, offline too

I lost my meme groove! I couldn't make comments or memes because my brain wouldn't cooperate. Creative refusal! Glad to see you still here! I haven't been as active lately, but I'll be back around more!

Yeay

Nixienox, I just read the comments too. I hope I wasn’t sounding insensitive with the meme. (It was a reference to Metallica’s Fade to Black song. Which kinda makes it worse, in retro-spect). I feel for what you’re going through. Breakups always suck. But you’ll be fine. You have a great sense of humor! Don’t ever lose that! We all need a break from memeing every once in awhile, and sadly, relationships too sometimes. But it’s good to see you back in the hot pages! You’re one of the best in here! So keep your chin up and the best of luck to ya! God bless. 😃

Head in the sand as usual! LOL!
I love that Metallica song. I actually did a school report on it back in the olden days.... er... 9th grade. And no apologies necessary. That is why I love this place. People bring the stuff we need because walking on eggshells isn't our thing. The husband doesn't know that I know yet. I don't know how to even approach the subject. I've just been stewing away in silence.

Thanks. I thought you’d get the reference. Metallica (the early stuff) rocks! And I don’t know about your faith, but I would just give it to the good Lord. (Jesus, not cheesus 😆). The truth always comes out. I pray that everything works out for you either way it goes.

As far as my faith, it's church on Sunday and Hell on Monday! LOL! Kidding, sort of. I behave myself most of the time. But you're right about that.

I hear ya there. The struggle is real. 😉
