dealing with some issues (CONTACTS ONLY!)

Just wanted to mention this here... & not on my Facebook page, because... well, honestly I don't know why.

Anyway, the past several weeks ... maybe longer, I've been dealing with a bad run of depression. So much that I hadn't even turned on my computer for about 3 or 4 days.

I'm still struggling, even today. All I want to do is watch a little tv & sleep.

It's gotten so bad that my voice is strained... I thought it was from a cold (started last week)... but the more I think about it, I wonder if it's just psychosomatic?? I can talk normally, but after a couple minutes my throat gets sore, & then I end up whispering to keep it from getting worse.

Since I had been sneezing a bit here & there (nothing too bad) I thought it might be allergies. The 1st day when this started, I was to go to PT (for a "frozen shoulder") but was coughing each time I spoke & so, I canceled it, thinking I was getting a cold.

Now that this has been going on for a week, I don't know. Has anyone else had this happen before?

Oh, the only reason I even turned on my computer today was to see if there were storms headed my way & to see if I needed to hurry & get the dogs out. Thankfully not yet.

As anyone knows, when you're dealing with depression, everything suffers... and I'm afraid this time my health is the target now. *sighs*

I'm not posting this to look for sympathy... just seeking advice, I guess. I really don't know.

By the way, don't worry, I'm not in so deep where I'd want to do anything drastic, as to end my life... ABSOLUTELY NOT! I have too many things to live for... besides, my biggest fear, is death. Don't know why since I love the Lord & I believe fully in Jesus!!!

However, that does not stop me from asking God to take me in my sleep to end my suffering & end those in my life's suffering because of my lack of... whatever. Again, I'm NOT going to do it myself... & I know at some point I'll bounce back again... as always.

I'm just very concerned that each time I slip low like this, it's getting worse. *sighs again*

Ok, I'll stop now, because now I have tears in my eyes.

Again, this is not for sympathy! Love you all & thanks for listening! *BIG HUGS!*

UFC 282 - The Alphabet Paragraph

Here's another installment of the United Friends Challenge (UFC) ... but before I get to that, I have to mention that I'll be posting, later, a story that I was supposed to do over a week ago, but forgot to finish it. (Supposed to, because it was MY challenge.)

So, when you see UFC 281 & think I numbered it wrong... it is not.

Anyway, onto this week's challenge:

How well do you know your abc's?
Write a paragraph or poem using only 26 words.
The first word in your piece must begin with "a" the second with "b", and so forth.

With mine, I capitalized the 1st of each word on purpose. ;)

WOOT! I was able to post the Royal Wedding Countdown widget! (see below for more!)

Howdy!! (contacts only!)

Hi ya all... I know I haven't been around. As I've said before in several blogs... I do a lot of stuff on Facebook now.

I haven't left here... just haven't been in the mood to really blog... mainly because I'm saying all I want to on my Facebook.

So, if anyone wishes to keep up to date with me, please feel free leave a message below & then I'll send you a PM with details how to connect with me there.

I know quite a few of you are already there with me... & I truly appreciate it. However, there are several of you I miss talking with... but I don't want to push by sending you the info... unless you want it.

IF you don't wish to join me on Facebook... you can always follow me on Twitter... my handle there is: LadyHarley99 (that's linked to my Twitter page) ... If you follow me & your handle is different than what it is here please send me a PM (or reply below, if you don't mind others seeing your handle) & let me know what your name is on Twitter... That way, when I get the email notification of you following me & I go to the page, I won't block you. (Make sense?)

Thank & hope to see you either on Facebook, Twitter OR both! ;)

P.S. I will still blog here once in a while... along with still posting short stories for the UFC. (Which by the way, I will be doing one next week, because it's my challenge.) ;)

How do you block someone? Has that changed??
