Tense

Waves of Depression

Lately, a lot, for a long while, I've been depressed.

I want to sleep all the time. I'm always tired. I'm melacholy (sp). I'm stressed. I want to cry but can't. And more.

I can't totally contribute it all to my job, though, I'm sure most of it is.

It hits me in waves. I wonder if this is normal. If it all didn't sound so inane to me, I'd actually find a therapist. I want to visit a therapist, but no one takes me serious. I've explained how I can't get my head above water (emotionally) and everyone contributes it to pms (UGH!!) or stress from work. I can't relax, always am tense, and feel guilty for letting things bother me this much.

I'm tense b/c the kid who harassed me is coming back from suspension this week.

I'm tense b/c the prosecutor's office is waiting for me to decide his fate.

I'm tense b/c I trust no one at work (this year shoulda been banner for me).

I'm tense b/c I feel guilty for ALWAYS working and not spending time w/ my kids. (I know they'll confront me when they're older, blaming me for their problems)

I'm tense b/c I wish I had a relationship w/ my parents that's aside from hi and bye.

I'm tense b/c I hate feeling tense.

I'm tense b/c I'm afraid something's going to happen to me (b/c we NEVER made a will) and my husband will lose my older son to Satan (biological sperm donor).

I'm tense b/c I feel guilty for my son having to visit his father every fucking weekend.

I'm tense b/c I have to DEAL w/ his fucking father every goddamn weekend.

I'm tense b/c my mother reminds me of my dead brother and how great he was.

I'm tense b/c mom gives me shit for not being at my grandmother's house EVERY WEEKEND (she lives over 1 1/2 hours away)

I'm tense b/c mom is a bitch to me and I swear she tells people I'm a heathen.

I'm tense b/c I thought I didn't care what she thought of me.

I'm tense b/c I'm criticized constantly by my parents.

I'm tense b/c they hate me and don't have the guts to announce it fully.

So, there ya have it... I'm tense.
