Depression?

[moosmom]

CalliesMom,

It is such a hard thing to deal with

No kidding! I tried going off my meds and the depression came back. I've been on Paxil for over 2 years now and it has helped me tremendously!

Kim,

I know how you feel about no one hiring. I've been scraping by for so long now, I've got a routine down when watching television. It's pretty pathetic. They had a thing on the news this morning that K-Mart was laying people off with absolutely NO notice whatsoever. People were afraid to talk on camera for fear of losing their severance pay. I've been applying to anything and everything I'm remotely qualified for. The problem is not that there are no jobs, but for every job I apply for there are HUNDREDS of people applying for one position! It's a sad state of affairs. Companies don't even send out rejection letters anymore. They just leave you hanging.

I'm STILL waiting for an answer from the funeral home. I spoke with the owner a couple of days ago and he blew me off, telling me that business has been slow (that's not MY problem!!). I told him that I was promised 20 hours/week. He said he had nothing to do with the hiring process. He's the owner for God's sake!!! In the meantime, my bills are piling up, my car is in danger of being repossessed and my rent for January is only half paid! Good thing I've got such a great landlord, or I'd be living in my car (till they repo it, of course!!)

Okay, I'm done ranting now. *sighs, shakes head, slinks off into a corner*

Wolfsoul,

SAD is very common in the winter time. That's why bears hybernate. They have lightbulbs that help with SAD. They sell them at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $7.99. I bought my best friend one for Christmas, as she also suffers from SAD.
