is a complicated, mysterious, thing...just like so much else. It truly is a damn shame that I am this depressed cause well, I am a great person full of love heart and soul and it's pretty much a crime that I lock myself up the way I do. I work feverishly at my remedy. Thanks for your nice thoughts...

That's horrible you're that depressed. I wonder on the days when you do make it "out and about" if you feel better once you're a few miles from the house??

It is nice to have a comrade at arms who understands... Something about not being the lone ranger seems to bring me peace. I never understood the dynamics as to why, but then again you don't need to understand how an automatic transmission works to operate one...BTW I heard the guy that invented the automatic transmission went insane shortly thereafter... been meaning to run a search on the subject..

Another thing to do since you are an artist, is to visualize them like a photograph, very vivid...pull back and actually make them a still photo....crumple it up into a tight wadded little ball....now toss it, kick it around..then burn it as you cackle, gleefully. My husband is like you....I leave him post-it notes to remind him to do this..

mysteria, that is hard, I know. I do understand and have had experience with fighting those polarities.

My sadness is at times equally profound as my joyness. I swing across a large span of extremes... I work on holding on...

I haven't tried that. I have a list of things to do...what you say reminds me of one I found inteesting. The idea says to imagine writing the fears on a dry erase board and then imagine yourself erasing them.
They are great ideas...I have a list of what to do posted now because when I am in the grip of the fear or sadness, I forget how to help myself and end up crying way way way too much.
Thanks for the love loved one (((LuStLoTuS)))...

mysteria, I'm glad you were not sad today. But, embrace the sadness when it comes for the walls we build around us to keep out sadness also keep away joy.

Have you tried speaking to the fears and commanding them
To go away and leave you alone? I believe we each have SOME measure of control over our own lives...tell the fears and tormenting thoughts to go away and leave you alone.
