I try not to worry about what other people think-unfortunately I've wasted a lot of energy in my life by doing so. So I'm learning not to. :0)
I have had many opportunities over the last year and because of my depression-I've taken none of them. And it bothers me. I just have the attitude that I don't care-in that area of my life. That's not good-and that's not like me at all! Speaking of productive, I am slacking on schoolwork that should have been finished months ago, and I start a fresh courseload at the end of September. Ah-gotta love this depression........

Take Care!
> I really hope you are right. I think people are really not trying to believe me when I say that I have a million things to do at home...especially my husband. :0) I made plans to go out with one of my girlfriends last night and couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone when she called. I have been extraordinarily weary...not enough to sleep all day, but enough to keep me from doing anything productive. I have a little trouble sleeping at night, but after just laying there for a few hours I can usually drift off. Then, once I'm asleep, I don't feel like getting up.
