The Surprise Message

I'm not on FB as much as I used to be, for a lot of reasons. But every so often, while in the midst of filling out surveys or doing other things to try and make some money, I will check in. I'm glad that I did today. I had a message. My niece messaged me that she wants me to go to her house on Friday. I was shocked! I really never expected her to get back to me about us getting together. She's still pretty down and she said she knows I am, too. But I haven't met her kitten yet, and she thought we could go out to eat first, just to sit and talk. My depression has been getting the best of me. I've found myself just sitting around alone, doing nothing. I'm seeing my doctor next week and I know he's going to ask me how the depression is. It will be good for me to get out. That always brings my mood up. And hanging out with her cat and the kitten will definitely help. I've never been able to be around a kitten and not smile. Claudia

I can tell when my depression is getting bad, and right now it's about as bad as it gets. When I become a hermit and don't care about going out, it's time to think about pushing myself out the door. I went through this when I lost Britt and now I'm right back again over Ruby. So I know grief is causing it and I think I need to give myself a little bit of time. Talking with my niece will surely help since we have so much of this in common right now.

@CRK109 I'm sure you're right about grief being a big factor in your depression. It would be good if one of the refuges came up with a kitten for you. Sending hugs.

I expect things will improve soon. Grief takes a toll on me, so I've learned to be good to myself until I'm feeling myself again.
