Still depressed. It's weird, because I'm perfectly sociable around people; I just don't have the will to live. And I should specify here that by "live" I don't mean "not die"; I mean "actually get out of bed, pick a DVD to watch, work, or decide on something to eat." It's just a severe, hapless blahness, you know? So I'm fine. Just depressed. It'll pass.

Although Mom isn't helping--her obsessing with cleaning my personal living space has finally hit a fever pitch, and now that the book is done, she will brook no refusal. And if I don't roll out of bed and do it, she's going to bring out the slavedriver whip, so I'm trudging around my room all a-zombie pretending to move things around so that she'll think I'm doing something. "Motherrrrrr, you are interrupting my depression. How am I supposed to mope if you keep giving me things to do? GAH."

So. That's me right now. Although I am also going back, bit by bit, and adding tags to the entries so that you can find things more easily. I've already gone through and tagged the m15m entries (and switched to a new layout so I could do so), as well as updated the comm with a brief announcement (that won't be news to any of y'all). Enjoy.




P.S. BPAL buyers beware of this seller--apparently even Beth the Lab Goddess is saying that WC never bought directly from the lab, so if you're buying from WC, you're probably buying thirdhand and, based on other evidence, diluted/compromised oil blends.


ETA: Wow, I just found a $20 bill. That's kind of awesome.

ETA2: Damn, I just found another one. No wonder I thought I was broke.

Five minutes ago, I listened to "Unwanted." You will hear no mocking from me.

[cpl593h.livejournal.com]

WC ought to be seriously fucking ashamed of herself. Poor Beth...

Speaking of, I got a bazillion imps from the Lab finally! And the verdict: ONE works on me. That's life for ya. Haha.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, what'd you get?

Did Dear Frankie ever hit theaters here? I don't think it did, but the Movie Gallery up 280 just got it. They'll have it for rental Tuesday! (But I'm watching it tonight. Mwahahaha!) Would that help the depression?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Nope, I don't think so. (Shhhh, don't let the GB thread know, or you'll have some unexpected visitors tonight.) I did want to see it, though. Hmmm.

[ladyvoldything.livejournal.com]

Find a really fun, no-stress hobby. Like ballroom dancing, learning to bake or cook (yum!), tango, something like that. Gives you a reason for getting up in the morning, and it's fun!!

DID YOU READ THOSE BACK POSTS and their comments? Crazy stuff, I say. Crazy stuff.

[word-herder.livejournal.com]

I refuse to offer you unsolicited advice because, being one who often gets depressed for no reason, I understand how annoying that can be. Just know...you aren't alone in this center of blahness and this too shall pass.

(However, I will say that I find that chocolate is sometimes able to knock me out of the center of blahness...)

[anavidfan.livejournal.com]

I totally feel you there on the blahness. Only my blahness never passed and consequently I've just been started on generic prozac. Pay attention to what your body and mind tell you; the blahness you feel to be tempoary may just lie dormant for awhile and resurface.

And yes, it does suck when people interfere with your down-ness. :P

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm already on Zoloft and Wellbutrin (which has helped a lot over the last few years); I'd be more concerned if I never had any variation in feeling whatsoever. This is just one of the valleys as opposed to the peaks.

[ladyvoldything.livejournal.com]

And I happen to like that song, so no mocking here. Except when she uses "dead" twice in the same verse to rhyme. That's just cheap.

Avril is good wallowing music, though, so carry on. Should you want out of it, I suggest her song "Who Knows".

[decor-noctis.livejournal.com]

*hug*

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

Wallow in your depression. It will pass. And we all love you to pieces, anyway. :-)

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had a funny feeling about WC for a while, but I tend to buy from people who seem to be well known on the forum so it's safer. Maybe. Kind of.

I could send you an Imp to cheer you up! Whaddaya want?

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

In retrospect, a different icon may have made that last comment less of, "Sleazy pickup line" and more "genuine desire to make cleo happy". Ahem.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

You will hear no Avril mocking from me. I adore both of her CDs, and not even in a silly, I-know-this-is-ridiculous-but-I-don't-care, Britney Spears-type way.

Meh.. I most definitely can relate to that "severe, hapless blahness." That's one of the shittiest feelings ever.

[wicked-goddess.livejournal.com]

WC freaked me out from the beginning, with her constant sale posts complaining of being broke, while she was outbidding everyone on eBay at the same time. I am glad I never bought anything from her.

No help for the depression, but I can relate; I have been going through my own bout since November, sigh.

BPAL helps!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You laugh, but I actually used Tamora, Siren and Wolf's Heart as major aromatherapy pick-me-ups during the last month of writing the book. I'm almost out of Tamora, woe, but my full bottle should be here soon.

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

Cheer up emo kid. Have some chocolate and listen to Hot Hot Heat. you'll fell much better.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

She was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counterclockwise turned around.

[yarha.livejournal.com]

It might be post-partem depression from birthing your book. Try the usual antidotes to burn-out. Alas, I can't remember them off-hand.

Something about pink champaign and whatnot. More whatnot than champaign.

Yarha, Cosmopolitan Often Doesn't Give Good Advice

Blahness

[inuit3877.livejournal.com]

The undefined blahs are the worst, I get them after I've finished a show, or script, or something on those lines. There are cures. My favorites are beer and a good game of pool, or loud hard rock music ala Bodies by Drowning Pool. Oh yes. The bodies will hit the floor.

LOL finding money is the BEST. It's like winning the lottery.

[sapphsmum.livejournal.com]

Oh woe, depression. The bane of artists everywhere. I don't know any artists who doesn't suffer with depression in some form. Maybe not at the Van Gogh level but still enough to deplete your soul none the less.

No suggestions since it hits us all differently and we all find different ways of dealing with it. But it's little wonder you feel so down after shoving so much of your soul into the last 6 to 9 months.

Pamper yourself!

Lots of hugs, Christina

[sapphsmum.livejournal.com]

My vicodan just kicked in, my post should read "I don't know any artists who don't suffer with depression in some form."

I need a nap want to share a pillow and blankie?

ETA: Wow, I just found a $20 bill. That's kind of awesome.

See what happens when you clean? Not that Mom is right or anything...

[claidissa.livejournal.com]

Well there's your reason to live! Go spend your $20! XD
*hug* Feel better!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Hee! to your icon.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

I've been following that BPAL drama and...whodathunk the oil/perfume industry would develop fraudsters? Not I.

[sorchar.livejournal.com]

Depression is a godless h0r, but yay for finding $40!

[elbales]

"No wonder I thought I was broke."

Hee. I love finding money. Too bad it so rarely happens. :P

[gryphonmage.livejournal.com]

I so feel you on the depression. I spend a lot of time goin man, there are a lot of things I need to do...there are a lot of things I kind of want to do...but I don't want to do any of them very badly *rolls over and takes a nap*

So. Much. Fun. -_-

I just bought six imps as a housewarming gift to, well, myself (signed and delivered my first rent check ever today) from BPAL. Okay, so it's not so much a "housewarming gift" as an "excuse to buy yummy smelling things for myself and not cry when I see the charge on my statement", but whatev. I was just curious--are you going to be doing any more BPAL reviews?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I will after I've finished testing the second half of the imps I have so far. : )

[rosalynmoon.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I hope you feel better, life can just suck sometimes but someone as smart and creative as you will find a reason to get out of bed again =)
