got up early today, my right shoulder that i sleep on was bothering me so decided to get up.
Ate some left over BBQ pulled pork that was left over from out trip to texas road house, yummy! Full of calories and salt I am sure of that.
But It HAD to be eaten!!!! LOL
Think I will do some paper work that I have been avoiding.
Had my friend susan over for a quick dinner friday night.
I feel so badly for her. Her depression is worse. She told me that she hated herself. I honestly don't know how to help her. I listen and try to ground her, she feels that she has no future....I told her to think about the here and now. She has intrusive negative thoughts that continually erode her self esteem and worth.
She is juggling 3 part time jobs. One in the framing department. another at a nursery and then she is in the symphony, so there are rehearsals and concerts. Yesterday she was gone the most of the day for a gig at a casino, music of the band the eagles. I would have liked that but it was far away from here and would have gone by myself, which I did not want to do.
She was riding in the car there with a friend that has been somewhat supportive to her initially but backed off. I asked susan to really talk with her again, she needs as many support people as possible.
Her husband doesn't get it. And has told me as much.
She keeps trying different meds to try to help and none have helped her or they have side effects that she doesn't like. She has not been sleeping.
Do you have any advice?

WE go to a support group meeting twice a month thru NAMI called connections.
there is a family meeting that goes on in the other room for loved ones to attend. I asked her to ask her husband to go.
Think I will mention it to him.
WE are going over there for mothers day. Paul is BBQing salmon on the grill.
I bought a big container of fresh fruit, she requested that.
on to my 3rd cup of coffee, paperwork and a shower is in the immediate future.
