It's the deodarent. Use white vinegar on the stains to get rid of them.

Both the week and weekends are long and boring. Can't find enough to do. Mostly I just go for a walk or sleep the time away.

I'd say a 2. I'm alone most of the time but seek friendship and miss my son terribly.

Cant seem to stay in bed for long in the morning. Once I'm awake, I'm awake. I do tend to stay in the apartment though. Use the computer or stare at four walls. I'd go for a walk but I keep asking myself where will I go, then draw a blank. So I stay indoors and be bored.

I'd be lost without a relationship with my son. Lately he doesn't chat as much but I just take it that he's working at present. I did notice he doesn't chat as often like there's nothing much to talk about tho. Sometimes kids outgrow the parent and move on with their lives, hope that is not...

I used to be a people person. Had lots of friends. Now since my stroke I do not. I have 3 friends tops now and I hardly see them. I have a hard time finding things to say to others. Usually my mind draws a blank.

My son's a hoarder, empty bags everywhere. When I lived with him I found it most frustrating. I even tried to clean the mess but he'd get mad. I kept my room clean, a little sanity. Now I had my own place and its clean, but am still wildly depressed. Doesnt take much to keep the place clean...

I feel like the OP. I was looking forward to my son moving back into town, now, he's not coming. My whole world has been blown apart. I am so lonely and am tired of being alone. Too old for a boyfriend and I don't attract any either. I have come to terms that I will be alone without a man...

Things were happier when I raised my son. Childhood sucked, lots of abuse. Then an abusive marriage. Things were tight but enjoyed raising my son alone, that was after the divorce. Things went south after my son left home. I wasn't prepared for it. Now the only good thing is hearing from him...

I too am like the OP. I've been dragging for the last 8 months figuring out what I am going to do. Doesn't help that I don't feel motivated. I thought of a few things I could do but didnt really carry them out because of doubts. Like what if I don't like the job, etc. But staying home and...

I remember when my son was young, when he was filling out his valenties to his friends, he would fill me one out too. We end up putting the valentine on the fridge. He did this for years. Sweet memories :)

Been put on loxapine and trazadone for life after a major depressive episode. It makes me kinda numb but calm all the time. I tried coming off them a couple of times but the withdrawal was very bad. I had the shakes and felt like crawling out of my skin. The anxiety was very bad.

Ya, depresssion windles down one's energy. I have a hard time getting out of bed, That and I have been eating out of bordom. Its hard to get motivated to even take a walk. But not going for walks to a place just leaves me in front of the computer or staring at 4 walls which is very boring...

Happy New Year.
