For those wondering where I've been and if I was okay...I needed a break from everyone. This includes all fora, FB, and pretty much anyone that wasn't my mom, brother, or housemate.
I needed time to think. To gather myself.
I was never in any danger of doing anything to myself if that puts anyone at ease. I simply needed a break.
To those that have PMd or posted your concern, thank you. I truly appreciate that people care.

Yankees fans mock Zack Greinke for social anxiety disorder
that is just wrong IMO but these are yanks so that is what they do, I guess.. but still wrong.

Welcome back, Scribble!
welcome back, @Sibyl 
I take a little vacation fom the world every evening: when I get home from work, I switch off the door bell, put on my mp3 player with a nice audio book, have supper and go to bed early with industrial-strength ear protectors. Peace and absolute quiet, no internet, tv, radio, neighbours, only a crossword or sudoku and occasionally a few text messages from my sister. And maybe a chocolate or two

yes, fresh air helps, even on rainy days. My doc says it's because even on cloudy days the skin reacts to the light and produces vitamin D. And that vitamin is more like a hormone: it controls a lot of vital steps in our metabolism and particularly in the nerve tissue. A lack of it can lead to sleeping problems, nerval damage and to depressions
I've been acting moody lately.
Last Friday night when I went out for sushi, the service was abysmally slow although there were only a handful of people dining in. I couldn't get a drink refill or extra napkins. I dropped and broke a glass on purpose just to get someone's attention. When I left the restaurant, I didn't bother to leave a tip.
This past weekend, we were having a double birthday celebration at home. But I just wasn't feeling it and instead took a 3-hour afternoon nap. I bemoaned the fact that my siblings don't support or accompany me in my activities like clubbing. So that night, I went to a Halloween bash by myself.
Yesterday when I came home from work, I was extremely annoyed with the brother in law. He had hired a couple of car detailers to clean his van in the driveway late in the afternoon, so I had to park my car out on the street. I texted my siblings and said, "Another asshole who doesn't deserve to breathe any air. Unless it's carbon monoxide. But he's brain dead anyway."
I did and said all these terrible things that were completely out of character.

I hope you feel more like yourself soon.
I had a very brief.. 2-3 seconds of suicidal thought then I was like ...
pushed right out of my head they used to haunt me like long hours of the suicidal thoughts all nite .. --- 3-4 times a week it has been so long I forgot what they were like.. hehe.2+ years no thoughts .. cept the things I just push away easy like.
---so is this positivism really that.. outside reality NO .. hehe it is a excellent positive world you know.

My anxiety has completely taken over my life. Ever since my mom died, I have been lost. Sometimes it takes every effort just to get out of bed. Just doing normal things that people take for granted, such as going to the store or checking email or running errands, is an enormous effort for me that exhaust me to the point that I can't do anything else for the rest of the day.
that would be depression.. I had that ... It is possible to over come.. with pills and therapy .. or--- white knuckle it as best you can .. I went the pills and therapy way but then In the end I had to overcome the problems too... -- you may need to do something about it... --- since the outcome without addressing it is bad,..
I am here in NJ === OK I would say call me.. if you want but --- I am not in Washington .. --- we could Facetime but I would probably be like all == in a positivism type a way so that sometimes helps but sometimes upsets a person more.. you know.. keep in touch with friends and talk .. as best you can ... asking for help is the first step === Of course if you are not already getting help === ///
just know that this will pass in time.. OK it will --
thanks for posting Turtle trekker ... keep on posting about --this is important.
too many people with depression don't let people know because people gossip and just don't help the person... that is not good.. but you do survive I did. OK --
I am taking citalopram, a generic of celexa, and I am seeing a therapist. I went several months rationing citalopram because I didn't have insurance. I'm now back on a daily regimen.
Doctors can slow down the emotions from the loss enough that you can handle and process them --- of course everything becomes more difficult the normal things in life.. when you are going thru the tough emotions... but it is possible to get to the other side.. I lost my mom in 75.. had a dream about her earlier today.. strange dream but yeah I hear her voice in my head now and then too.. --- but it took like 40 years to completely recover and not be depressed.. --- since I was eleven when she passed it was traumatic not to mention the trauma of being raised by a heroin IV user.. but I loved my mom over all.. ==
I’m on a low ebb at the mo. I want to do stuff, fun stuff, creative stuff, but there are other things I need to do. Stressy things. Yesterday, I slept most of the morning because I’m exhausted and need the sleep, but feel guilty about not doing the stuff I need or want to do. And then time runs out.
I think, what I really need, is chrono-temporal regulator, that allows me to control the flow and direction of time. Giving me the time to rest and accomplish everything, while also editing out the occasions where my foot is in my gob. If I had that, I wouldn’t need any meds at all.
