What made me sad today...

[Greg Boeser]

I am having these moods of severe being down. They come out of nowhere. It's quite irritating. Had a great learning day with my 40 kids. It was exhausting as hell. Then came home. Bam, mood hits just like that.

You are dealing with a lot of crap. Feeling down is not surprising. Hang in there. We are with you.

You have my sympathy, I've battled clinical depression all my life and it's no easy task. Hang in there brother, and there's no stigma to seeking professional help, just be careful if you do what medication they might prescribe, some side effects... yeesh.

I know these dark or down moods hit with no warning and can be hard to get out of. For me, I start doing something that I really like, even if it's just washing Orwell (my 1984/5 SS Monte Carlo). It's sort of mindless but in the back of your head you're realizing you're doing something good that you enjoy, it's a kind of subliminal thing. FWIW that helps me get out of those dark moods.

I repeat, hang in there brother, and remember, we're all here for you.

Rest In Peace Erich you will be greatly missed.

My wife being a teacher, too many years, it's admin and lack of that usually puts her in a state!
Teachers and cops, the salt of the earth. There are Some who appreciate your sacrifice! I am one!

Finally found a heated vest that should fit me.....Got here this morning and it won't fit. Now I'm really bummed, as it's supposed to be in the low 40's and below later this week.
