Quote: Grrr didn't go. I got the shakes, really depressed and turned into an energyless zombie. I hate feeling this ill! It seems as soon as the anxiety simmers down the depression hits with a bang. Not really sure what to do with myself today as everything aches, my bodys fizzing and I'm exhausted. Yuck, yuck, yuck. And there's a pile of washing up to do - again!!!!!
Grrr ... a very grumpy Catherine
Sweetie pie, sweetie pie, sweetie pie!! You're physically ill! Depression is not just a "mental" illness, it's a bona fide physical illness too that affects every system in the body! I describe it as having the brain flu, except that it lasts so much longer. Now if you had pneumonia and felt weak and shaky, would you get mad at yourself and think you were lazy?? I certainly hope not. So why is this any different?! You're allowed to have bad days. OKAY????
Remember, it's a long slow convalescence with three steps forward, one step back. You just too a step back is all, because your body NEEDED TO. Now quit beating up on yourself or I shall have to come over there and get very strict with you!!
