And potatoes. I really want to grow potatoes but don't have the room this year.

I know, now I want some. XD

It's the curse of potatoes. Whenever someone mentions potatoes, you automatically want potatoes. :)

I keep confusing Keyori with Kitami

Kitami's all pink though. XD

Damnit, now I want potatoes too. >8(

SEE?!?!? It's impossible to talk about potatoes and not want them! This is scientific fact.

We are cooking baked potatoes now.

Lol I guess so! XD I'm tempted to bake one too. I just have no toppings.

No butter or chives or bacon or sour cream or cheese or broccoli or other deliciousness?

Nope. I really need to go shopping. :P

YEAH YOU DO!!!! Potatoes need toppings!

Maybe tomorrow I'll go. I hate shopping.

I have to admit that I'm with you there. In vet school I would survive for a month on a jar of peanut butter (no bread or anything, I'd just eat the peanut butter straight), because I was too depressed to go to the store. I'm a little better now, but I still HATE shopping. Especially for food.

I used to do that just because I was broke. o.o;

Heh, that was the stupid thing. My family was super supportive so I had enough money to buy stuff. Just....no....motivation.

We all go through times like that.

Yeah. I hope I never go through it again, but I likely will. *sigh* I wish I could just have a surgery on my brain to make it produce the right chemicals. Heh.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. I'm kinda anti medications.

Oh I love my meds. I wouldn't survive without them, but they just don't ever make the problems go away completely. *sigh* One of my friends posting something on facebook about depression and it was SO PERFECT.
It's long and sad, so I'll do a spoiler.

Quote:

"Depression is humiliating. It turns intelligent, kind people into zombies who can’t wash a dish or change their socks. It affects the ability to think clearly, to feel anything, to ascribe value to your children, your lifelong passions, your relative good fortune. It scoops out your normal healthy ability to cope with bad days and bad news, and replaces it with an unrecognizable sludge that finds no pleasure, no delight, no point in anything outside of bed. You alienate your friends because you can’t comport yourself socially, you risk your job because you can’t concentrate, you live in moderate squalor because you have no energy to stand up, let alone take out the garbage. You become pathetic and you know it. And you have no capacity to stop the downward plunge. You have no perspective, no emotional reserves, no faith that it will get better. So you feel guilty and ashamed of your inability to deal with life like a regular human, which exacerbates the depression and the isolation. If you’ve never been depressed, thank your lucky stars and back off the folks who take a pill so they can make eye contact with the grocery store cashier. No one on earth would choose the nightmare of depression over an averagely turbulent normal life.

It’s not an incapacity to cope with day to day living in the modern world. It’s an incapacity to function. At all. If you and your loved ones have been spared, every blessing to you. If depression has taken root in you or your loved ones, every blessing to you, too. No one chooses it. No one deserves it. It runs in families, it ruins families. You cannot imagine what it takes to feign normalcy, to show up to work, to make a dentist appointment, to pay bills, to walk your dog, to return library books on time, to keep enough toilet paper on hand, when you are exerting most of your capacity on trying not to kill yourself. Depression is real. Just because you’ve never had it doesn’t make it imaginary. Compassion is also real. And a depressed person may cling desperately to it until they are out of the woods and they may remember your compassion for the rest of their lives as a force greater than their depression. Have a heart. Judge not lest ye be judged." -author unknown

Well said.

I was on meds but most of them made me manic or I was allergic to them. I just kinda gave up on them and try to do things without them.

Oof. That sucks. Yeah, I just don't work at all right without my meds. I want to start exercising more to help out with it, and I'm in therapy. But the exercise derails every time I get sick or busy. *sigh* I do what I can though. The boyfriend helps (except when we fight).

It defiantly helps to have someone there for you. I always go to my exhusband, which is a bad habit but he listens so it makes me feel at least a bit better when those moods strike.

Yeah, definitely better to find someone new to go to, but I understand. I went back to one of my exes for support there for a while. *hugs*

So two random things i noticed while reading everybody's post, sorry if you don't like me reading past posts but I wanted to say two things.

@Steel that is an awesome quote can I use it?

Also, I am lucky that I get farm fresh eggs from somebody my stepdad knows at work who raises chickens and they get like 26 eggs a day from their chickens.
