My mind is in turmoil! Why? I have no idea. After three very restless nights, I am fighting the sleep during the day routine to try to get back to a normal sleep pattern. Whatever that is!
Like many people I get the odd sleepless night but this week I am going for my personal best, or should that be worst, record of 3 sleep deprived nights. A consequence of this my mind is all over the place. My character is slowly changing to one of morbidity and depression. Still, I fight on.
Why am I telling you all this? Because while it may help others in the community when they realize they are not alone, I have found over the years that it does help me. I used to be shy and reserved and keep my personal feelings to myself until I started to talk about it. Suddenly I started feeling better, especially when I realized from the comments I was getting that I was not the only one.

Sometimes we look upon depressive issues as a weakness rather than an illness. Because we don't want to look weak or let others know that we are weak when indeed we can get professional help.
Being in what can be considered as my twilight years I can recognize the signs in time to attempt to stop the depression from taking hold. Yes, I am lucky in so much as I can recognize the signs early enough to try to turn the tide that is against me. True I would like to be able to recognize them a lot earlier in the process but I don't so I have to flow with the tide, but take small and determined steps against it.
This is not the first time I have broached this subject on here and I doubt that it will be the last either. I am naturally an anxious person and I am constantly fighting the anxiety and winning little battles but as yet not winning the war.
If you can see yourself in any of this please, please talk to someone even if it is only on here. There is help available for you both from me, (I've been there), and from others. Speak to your doctor and let them decide what is best for you.
