Well it's that time of year again, and as usual nothings' really going right. I'm looking for a job but I'm not sure if it's depression or emotional burn out. I get up early and by noon I'm exhausted, and of course all of the holiday and recession hoopla isn't really making it better since I'm basically a failure religion, job and career wise. This of course isn't what worries me the most. The worst part is that I can't keep the motivation of financial well being alive long enough to put in a serious effort for job search for more than a few days at a time. Sometimes I just go back to bed, pack it in and make plans for the next day, and the next day and the next day (this usually when someone needs me to do something, completely ruining any plans I may have had). I've been to counseling and they just think I'm not trying, but I know happiness comes with a job, happiness comes with a career, and possibly love as well. Of course I honestly feel sorry for the sucker who thinks that he likes me.

*hugs oterys* I know depression can have a major impact on activities and interests (or lack of in most cases), but have you looked into health related issues? I know my diabeties can knock the stuffing out of me if my sugar levels are too high. It is just a thought.
But you are definately in a really bad funk at the moment. Any suggestions as to what might give you a pick-me-up?

*hugs the Gentle Spirits Mascot back and smiles* thanks, and actually I've been trying to motivate myself to decorate for the holidays, but it hasn't happened yet. As for the cause, well I don't know, usually writing helps, but even that has come to a stand still so it might be time for another crack at meditation exercise. Shopping usually helps but that's not even an option at the moment. But cooking helps.

oh cool decorationg would be fun. hey you want to come help me do mine lol
I usually don't do much. Hubby is a real bah humbug when it comes to holidays. Only thing he cares about is the gifts and treats. lame brain... Last year I didn't put up my tree because I didn't have the space. This year though I might be able to squeeze it into a corner, just not yet sure where the bookshelf will go. meh I'll think of something lol

Thyna you sound a bit like me. I live in a small apartment and between the bookcases, furniture, and other oddities, I actually had to negotiate where to put things. That's probably why its taken me this long to even find the motivation to pull it off.
As for humbugs, yeah, my dad was one of those types too. He hated all things holiday and set out to ruin them to the point that he didnt look forward to the treats or anything, just the food and beverages. I'd decorate just to make him suffer...

lol
yeah my living room is about the size of a bedroom (just enough room for the sofa, TV and hubbies books and computer). My kitchen is a nice size, could use a bit more counter space, but then I definately would have no place for my tree or my computer lol
Right now the tree sits in the corner by a window and my microwave.
heh if you can guess the theme of my tree this year I will give you a cookie xd

Lol! I'm going for the 'Im not really here/super-inconspicuous' theme. It's unfortunately one that many trees who are forced to dwell in small areas must assume. Mine is cramped and naked...I just didn't know what to do for it this year.
