Does Anyone Else Feel Especially Sad Lately?

I'm willing to offer whatever emotional support I can if someone wants it. We're in this together. The only way through it is going to be together.

That is wonderful, Marci. I work with some people who don’t seem to feel supported at all, it really takes it‘s toll in the long run. People such as yourself help more than you can imagine ❤️

At some point we have to stop fighting with each other and try to help each other. This world isn't an easy place to live in. It's harder when you're alone. I'm not just talking single kind of alone. I mean alone. You can be in a room full of people and still be alone. If we can't manage to lay down our grievances and work together to get through this period then things will never be right ever.

When I'm feeling a bit down, I make my way to the big mirror in the hall. I turn and face the mirror and tell the bloke looking at me,"You are one really handsome beggar", but he always replies, "Why thank you, but I can't lie, Ferry, you're not."
Hmmmm......I've got the utmost respect for truthful mirrors, but it would be nice if it fibbed now and again. 😊

haha, yes I haven't seen a mirror I didn't like.

I'm afraid that things will only get worse for most people. Not only do we have Corvid-19 but we have the usual shorter days, lack of sunshine, cold weather coming around; especially where I live in Canada. General, in normal times, many would "escape" south to Florida, Texas or Arizona or even Mexico. I certainly did when I was younger. I can still remember those wonderful Happy Hours and dances at Long Island Village in Port Isabel, Texas. Now, it's not so easy. Also, at the beginning of winter we always get the flu season. I really wonder how Christmas will be this year? So many people have lost their jobs & businesses. I bet they wouldn't be going to do any shopping sprees! Santa's "Ho, Ho, Ho" will sound pretty hollow when you have lost your job & can't buy groceries, pay the rent or the mortgage.

I agree with all your said.
 
I've been battling mini depressions off and on; the worst was this past weekend which lasted a few days. Usually I recuperate in a day. It's been a rough year for me, my family and a couple of friends. I've been meaning to post about our losses but haven't been able to bring myself to compose the post yet. Also, staying home so much gets to me sometimes. When I really need to get something from the local supermarket (or they have a sale I can't pass up), it really helps to walk over there and engage in shopping therapy.

Even an occasional run to the post office to pick up a package or my meds, helps to break the monotony. I got wild and crazy a week ago and took the train to the waterfront park in Hoboken, N.J. I ate my lunch while listening to the band that was right there in the gazebo I sit in. I took my walk, then relaxed and watched the ducks and the boats. Those kinds of activities and having fun talks with friends help a lot.

I feel sorry for what you are having to deal with, especially at this time when COVID has imposed such restrictions on our daily lives. It just kicks the support system out from under us when we need it the most.

Your trip out for lunch sounds wonderful and did you a "world of good."

My doctor calls them situational depression. Sorry you are having them, but you are not alone in this, if that helps. I think we all are having periods of depression. It had been a tough sad year. Glad you got to get out.

Thank you Aneeda. I'm aware that I'm not alone in this. A few of my friends on other networking sites have posted about how down and out they get sometimes. I have to chuckle inside when I think about my mother who always seemed to be comforted in knowing she was not alone in suffering with arthritis symptoms. In a way, this is the same. We're all in the same boat together and yes....that helps. :)
