My mama does not go skinny dipping, she goes chunky dunking.
I'm sending you thousands of tiny love-huglets through the ether...
Make a list of the good things in your life.
Who sends Easter cards anyway?
Just remeber that there is always someone worse off with you.
Get out and do something fun :)
instead of ecards visit a old folks home or a childrens hospital if you have a pet get it authorised to go for the visits as well and by making others happy you will be happy
depression also a lot to do with diet exercise be healthy in body AND spirit
Awwwww, well happy easter to you miss ! and many more!! im sorry that happend to you, i hope you feel better soon =( id spend my easter with you if i were your friend, hope you get happy soon =P bye!(btw yes i know its not easter anymore but oh well this is a late happy easter =P)
that is all your problems? well go to a hospital the children's ward and see sick kids with cancer and other life problems or take a look around and see homeless people, you don't know how lucky you are and should be happy your life can be worst.
You might want to cheer me up too? I am feeling stressed. Cheer up!
I'm only commenting to get 2 points,
Jokes, Cheer Up!!!
Think about the things you can do now, while you're seeing the early signs of the depression reappearing, rather than later when it might be harder. What helps you at these times? What supports can you access now? Counselling might help; exercise; focusing on things that make you happy and activities you enjoy. Are there things in your life you need to change..making some future plans and working on them bit by bit might help. Don't worry about the cards; some people just aren't into sending cards; it's not personal. Keep in contact with people you like and trust and build on friendships. Big hug and hope you feel better soon.
Well... I know you might feel depressed because of people not sending you any easter cards or cuz your spending easter alone but hey, what's there to Easter anyway?
I've always spent it alone and never even got easter cards in my life, and even worse I never spen Christmas with my family. Nor do I celebrate my birthday properly! So don't worry too much. I reckon answering Yahoo questions is interesting enough to be doing on an easter night! LoL
Life could be a lot more horrible sweetie,..Just try to put your life in perspective, count your blessings, and don't take it to heart about others not responding,...I have found many people just were raised to be thoughtful anymore...sad but true...Hoping that you have a wonderful day today,and try to be happy for what you have, not what you have not
EAT CHOCOLATE !!!
Sometimes our expectations are higher than others, and as a result your expectations are not met and the end result is you getting hurt.
Try examining your expectation and ask yourself if they are reasonable considering the other persons life/circumstances? Then determine if your expectation are set too high and should be readjusted.
Try journaling about your thoughts, give it a day and go ad read what you wrote - see if you look at it differently.
If you are depressed, having a hard time waking up, and you have no drive to do anything, try tracking your memorable/happy moments as they occur. When you are feeling stuck, go back and read them...
Try using this tool - it might help with tracking your thoughts. www.iijournal.com

It sounds to me that the lonely Easter and they way you
feel now has alot to do with feeling sorry for yourself.
I understand depression very well and the triggers
enough to tell you there is really no room for self pity.
Write a gratitude list and then think of someone you
might be able to cheer up.
Good luck and I hope you feel better fast
Romans 5:8: God commended His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
It should cheer you up to know that, as Jesus hung on the cross, He was thinking of you. If you would just repent of your sins and invite Jesus into your heart, you would find instant joy. I know. I did.
Once you have Jesus in your heart, you can take whatever concerns you to Him and receive peace knowing that Jesus will see you through these difficult times.
Depression is caused by thoughts that aren't really true. Thoughts happen, you can't control that, but you can control whether you will be taken prisoner by them. Hear your thoughts saying, "I sent 13 Easter ecards to 9 people and only one person cared" and then be grateful for the one response you got. Focus on that person and ignore the rest. Your thoughts will focus on the bad, but you don't have to buy into those thoughts. Just hear them, tell your mind that the thought is insane, and pay real attention to the things you find beautiful about life.
Happiness is a Crackpot
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we're frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We'll certainly be happy when they're out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now as a Crackpot If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself that you are a Crackpot now and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way . So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special a Crackpot , special enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you're off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you're born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be a Crackpot and be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination
If a Crackpot does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away"
So be a crackpot and be happy
So work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Listen to the different drummer
And dance like no one's watching.
That is truly being a Crackpot

You know the only problem with knowing someone is worse off is it doesn't make you feel better.
If you are a real human it makes you feel worse.
Holidays are overrated. They cause stress.
Easter is about life and joy. Tomorrow see if you see signs of life around you. Participate in joy if you can.
Mentally put your sorrows in a box,wrap it,tie it with a beautiful bow and visualize handing it to God.
I hope you feel better soon.
PLEASE be happy!!! I have the exact same problem. I totally have depression but nobody seems to care. I can't find someone to talk to and such. But at least you still have your one good friend! Remember, she's always there for you!
CHEER UP :))
I sent out a bunch of ecards with no return cards but I didnt expect any I only did it because it was fun to do and free too. When I first got this computer I thought that every time I emailed someone I would get a reply but found that to be a huge misconception too. So I do it because I want to and it is fun for me and do not expect any reply then if I get one it is a pleasant surprise. So cheer up honey it has nothing to do with how people feel about you it is just what happens. If you are sending them to get returns then that is the wrong reason. If you are sending them because you enjoy doing it then you already got what you wanted out of it. There is a thing in yahoo groups called Susan K...Susans daily dose you can get a message every day and they always cheer me up . Try it
well whenever i need cheering up i sit down with chocolate(or whatever flavor you like) ice cream and watch a funny chick flic
it always works for me good luck
Go see a friend who makes you laugh, watch your favorite comedy or go out and do something you enjoy like buy yourself something nice, get a new haircut or go out to a restaurant for a meal. Good luck and enjoy life.
