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.

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.

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?

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

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".

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, what'd you get?

[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.

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.

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

Persephone, Desdemona, Dirty, Belle Epoque, Muse, Venice, and the Lab generously sent me Psyche as a freebie. Dirty's the only one that I squealed over. I'm gonna retry some of the others before definitely swapping them away or something, but Desdemona was horrid on me.

I don't think my body chemistry agrees with florals very much. Anything more food/fruit/spice/ or incense-y tends to work much better for me.

[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.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Desdemona was horrible on my skin. It made my eyes water, bad bad. Florals rarely work on me, either. If you like spice/fruit scents, try Love Me. That one worked pretty well for me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, after I get paid, I could possibly take those off your hands (unless you want to sell them off to someone else first, which is totally cool). I've wanted to try several of those, and the rest I could easily pass on.

Oh, and let me look around a bit--I can probably get back to you with some decent recommendations, if you want to try again.

[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]

Bless. I'll be okay--apparently the 5/10 orders have shipped out, and my bottle of Tamora was on 5/16. My big order was a 5/23--with any luck, I'll be swallowing in pretty smells soon.

[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.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Well, I noticed you wanted to try Persephone. I have a small 1/2 imp of it someone sent me as a freebie, but it does not work on me at all. Want it?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, I got that one in my first order. It kind of works on me okay, but I realized that roses are kind of blah on me.

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

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