Taking the plunge

[Former-Member]

You wouldn't bring anyone down @Maggie 💜
No more than I do. I feel embarrassed sharing on here, but it's hard going through it alone.
I hope I don't bring you down @Maggie
I'd hate to bring someone down. I'd rather not say anything if it brings anyone down.
Hugs to you.
Secret is, in real life, I'm uncomfortable with hugs. But on here it's ok. 😀 I remember you said the same.

Thanks for your message @Sans911 💜
It's nothing unusual for me to feel like this.
I was hopeful that I'd feel better than this at my age. i do try and be positive and push through, it's extra hard some days.
I seem to have gone backwards.
But I can't give up on hope.
It's been like this for many years.
Hugs back to you. 💕

I wonder if it's the time of year & I don't mean christmas @Former-Member @Maggie @Former-Member.
So many of us are struggling with depression at the moment. Is it the heat? The lists of what needs to be done? The total exhaustion?
I don't know.

I think the extreme heat has a lot to do with it @utopia - it drains energy and causes lack of sleep, which in turn can trigger low mood or make an already low one worse. Being exhausted makes it harder to do what we have to and cope. Also the added pressure and lonliness for some at this time of the year. Hope you are doing okay ☺️x

You could be right @Former-Member the heat has knocked me about and I'm not sleeping as much.

[Former-Member]

Everything @utopia
And the heat makes it worse.
I have Scandinavian blood too. Think I'm meant to be somewhere cold. Not so easy fixing house to sell etc.........
Oh I'm a whinger today, sorry.
Hi, by the way 👋
Glad you found your dog and you got electricity back on.💜


Hi @Shaz51 👋💜



Air con stopped working today @Former-Member 😮💜

I think the extreme heat has a lot to do with it @utopia, I agree @Former-Member, knocked my husband a lot in summer up here

Helo @Maggie, @Former-Member, @Sans911

Try and stay in cooler environments @utopia (indoors spraying yourself with cool water in front of a fan or cooler;, air conditioning in shopping centres etc to reduce body temperature ) and drink plenty of water to keep from becoming dehydrated. Sleep is the more difficult part - if you can nap in the afternoon this will help lift your mood together with the above. @Former-Member - I couldn't fix a house up or anything for that matter in this heatwave if my life depended on it. I can understand what a struggle this must be for you. I hope you can get that air cond fix asap. Stay cool everyone 😎

@Former-Member. You are not whinging - just stating the facts
