Alone and Depressed

I act like I am deaf, because I do not want to help. This is not like me but today I am stuck in some kelp. I am deep in the sea of my own painful thoughts all my own. I am not good company, and I truly hanker to be left all alone. I act like I do not know they could use me today. They are going to have to recruit others, I do not care how far away. I usually do more than my share, but today is not one of those days. I rarely get acknowledgement or any kind of appreciation praise. So here I sit, way down low in the dark deep depths of the sea. Nursing my sore feelings, alone and depressed as I can be.

Shalom shalom dear sister Caren. I feel a bit better when I write here in PS, but especially after fave commentators stop by ( like prayERS). Peace, Perspective, Love

Oh dear I'm so sorry you are feeling so depressed, Caren. A word of praise can make a difficult job easier to cope with. I feel the past events of the week have been hard to comprehend and makes us wary of everyone giving us bad feelings that are not normal for us. especially when you work with children every day. Take time out if you can. Look after yourself. Take are, Shirley

I can sympathize, Caren. I have had a down two days, too. What happened in Uvalde has had a devastating effect on anyone (including us) who works or has worked with children. It has brought on a pervasive pall. I know I must snap out of it, but I can't say just when.

It is sad for sure but it did not affect me - I compartmentalize myself, concentrating on all the goodness in the world

Nice penning Caren, really bringing out the depths of depression. Shows lovely rhyme and flow too. Blessings,Gordon
