I do not often get depressed. I virtually never cry, although I sometimes feel like I could. Today is one of those days. Nothing truly bad has happened; it may even be hormonal.
I'm just feeling horrendously under-appreciated. Maybe I have too high an opinion of myself. But I try my best to be kind, patient and a good listener. I give what I can when I can. I don't ask for much - or at least, I don't think I ask for much.
The occasional acknowledgement would be nice - hell, not even thanks, just to be able to know that someone knows I'm trying. I know I'm a very self-centred person, I'm doing my best not to be, but something other than taking it personally that I've not seen someone in a few days because we're in a different timezone and I've been actually getting some normal hours of sleep would be... well, it'd be nice.
I really need a hug, but there's no-one here but the cat, so I won't get one.
Right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying, but I haven't cried in years, so it won't happen.
Anyway, for anyone inclined to worry about me, please don't. Normal service will be resumed shortly. The usual Phyrbyrd, unemotional as a brick, will be back soon. The weepies can't touch me.
