Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

[sharron]

I just eat Tums as needed. Bonus, they have calcium.

tums no longer work for me cap, i used to eat them by the dozens, then had the gall bladder taken out, now the baking soda works so fast on me without the sugar of tums

Is anyone doing the deep litter method in their coop? I am. It works great! Just yesterday I was outside adding another layer. It helps insulate the coop and I think it helps avoid bumble foot to have the coop floor all fluffed up when they jump off the perch.

I too lost a child at 2 years. I carried on as you have to with 2 other children a new baby and a 4 year old. Eventually things caught up with me and went into depression. Husband was at a loss at how to hope with me, children, job and keeping it all together. We lived away from family and I was no help. Slowly I started to take notice, just a little at at a time. Our home was a dirty tip but I read somewhere to keep it slow but steady. I cleaned one work surface in the kitchen, next day I worked on another area then slowly I got control of the house looking after the children and my life came back together.
I feel for anyone who has had depression. People don't understand if they have not had to experience it.
I go with the flow these days. As long as I don't hurt anyone else I do what I want when I want.
Keeping my rescue chickens and adding a couple more gives me so much pleasure. Life can change so much by doing little things that we like to do or enjoy.

The rain is giving me another break. Need to go finish cleaning coops! I put a pot of coffee on for anyone who wants a cup. Water is hot for tea or cocoa too!

Please can I have a couple of biscuits woth my coffee?

I've always been sensitive, intense, and turbulent. I don't want to lose parts of who I am, even though they should maybe be managed in healthier ways.

Don't change. Feeling is caring and there's nothing wrong with caring. The world would be a terrible lace if everyone was a hard nut. You will get through this. One day you will think Oh! I laughed a something, or maybe you will have had a good sleep. Just believe that this is now but tomorrow will arrive what ever is happening today.
I wish you well.

I think I wrote the book on depression and have probably talked about it on many of the threads over the years. Once you open up about it, you find more and more folks who have it or have experienced in in the past.

I've gotten off my med(after too many years of use) and don't miss it. But then winter never did depress me. Everyone around here is miserable during the winter, so it's all good. It's summer when everyone is having all the fun of a Coke commercial, that I used to get down.
Even though they were mostly doing things that didn't interest me.

Well I've gotta go, see it is 5:15 am and have to be up in less than 3 hrs. for the bus - unless the dispatcher cancels it again.

James, I know who you were talking about. I know it's none of my business so I won't say more.
