I've Been MIA For a Bit...

Not feeling like doing much. I usually feel pretty depressed during the winter months. More than usual that is. I am depressed most of time having a diagnosis of extreme depression with panic attacks and am not one that medication helps. So, it's a fun bummer of a world I live in most of the time but then the following happened to add to it.
I got a message on FB from someone I USED to call a friend. The one who accused me of stealing from her when I went to visit her one time back in 2010 I think it was. I have posted on here about it in the past. When this happens, which is rare, it dredges up the old feelings of hurt and anger. I mean she didn't just accuse me she threatened to send the Sherriff out to my home if her stuff wasn't returned in a certain amount of time. Of course I didn't steal anything. To me a friend would never steal. To me a good and moral person, which I strive to be, would not steal. I am not a thief. She never apologized for it either. We talked about it at length several times. She did one time say she was sorry but ended it with a 'but' and prefaced it by saying but she just wasn't sure I hadn't but if I didn't she apologized for accusing me. What kind of an apology is that? Here we had known each other for about 20 years at that point, and I've stayed with her several times in the past. And to just come out of nowhere with this was really weird. She had had several people over helping her before I had come since she was just moving in. People she didn't know from Adam. Yet I was the one she accused. So weird!
See how much it still bothers me? It's like I told her don't contact me if you don't want to have this brought up again because I think about it every time she does. I don't like my character questioned. I don't steal and I don't like people, especially those who I THOUGHT, were my friends to accuse me of such things. It really hurts.
So, anyway, I am feeling down in the dumps due to this. Her reason for messaging me was to tell me she finally was on the same page with me as far as Trump was concerned. (She's a staunch Republican.) That lady getting shot in the face was the final straw for her. Not all the other atrocities but this one did it for her.
Thanks for reading my vent. I really needed to do it.

This is off topic.
I might get back on topic
But I must ask as this crossed my mind
Remember when Trump " got shot" ?
Do you think that was real?
Back on topic now
I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder
The winter makes me depressed.
I can't be bothered with anything
Still on topic
I reckon the ICE agent murdered the woman in the car

In America anything seems possible.
It was just the whole surrounded by agents thing and the fist pumping and tiny little amounts of blood involved.
It just didn't look right
The other was cold blooded murder.

It could have just been a ploy for attention.

you have every right to vent and i can't understand she doesn't regret contacting you after that or that she doesn't regret accusing you. real friends shouldn't do that. i've listened to many apologies when there was but and it didn't feel like an apology at all. it's not genuine, to me.

That's just what I told her. She made out like I was too extreme.

@celticeagle i felt that people rebel cause they know they're wrong. it's not extreme and i am sorry she can't see the things clearly and truly.

I completely understand... I haven't been around much either... just can't get motivated. But it's nice and sunny today, so I'm feeling more upbeat... at least, I'm reading and replying to a few posts here. Some days, I just read the titles and go play solitaire.

My motivation is never very high but at this time of year it seems to simply disappear.

Sorry to read you’re down in the dumps. Winter is a difficult time to get through. Good thing is that it’s only temporary and Spring will be here soon.
The lady getting shot in the face shocked us in the UK too.

Dark days don't make for happy ones for me.
What a horrible story it was.

I feel the same way. I told her every time she reached out it made me remember. But it seems to be only about her.

You need to take her completely out of your life. Have you ever thought of getting one of those Light Therapy Lamps for winter depression? I've heard people here say that they work.

Those lights may work, but they have to be turned on. I have a friend who has one, but I've never seen it turned on...

@BarBaraPrz That kind of negates the positive.

I understand you being hurt by that. I would stop talking to that person also. But I am glad to hear that she is waking up on rump
