I'm having a very hard time breathing due to the extremely hot and humid weather. I'm in really bad shape.

It was 92 degrees F today. Hottest day of the year so far. And it is extremely humid. Give me winter back.

Sleepy.

Accepting it means to me realizing that there is no cure and to come to terms with the fact that I will suffer my entire life with this. However, this does not mean that I can't do anything about it. The key is management. You find the meds that work the best for you. They are likely not to work 100% but you have to learn to deal with the residual depression and to find some joy in life in spite of it,.

Yes, I did finally accept it, and yes, it did monumentally help and put me at peace. For years and years, I sought cures from psychiatry to taking every possibly helpful supplement out there. Nothing worked. Then one day I had the epiphany that I should just accept it like a person with diabetes has to accept their disease. And like someone with diabetes, I decided to manage it. Luckily, I found a good cocktail that manages it most days, but the cocktail is far from perfect, and I'm always aware that I do in fact suffer from depression. What I gained by accepting it was an end to the constant searching for a cure which is likely not out there. Therapy doesn't help me at all because my depression is not situational and so there's no cure there. Now I try to enjoy the good times and no longer panic and beat myself up over the bad times.

I wonder why someone doesn't shoot those cats.

Around 90 degrees F and very humid all day. It doesn't cool off much at night either. Sweltering.

bad

Exactly. Tissue doesn't grow that fast ... not even hair.

Ungodly hot and humid.

Not sleeping the last few nights, but otherwise ok.

What sickens me is when I see so-called "Christians" defending this crap. I see a lot of "Christians" on Facebook in lock step with Trump including, unfortunately, some in my own family.

Welcome back!

For my entire life, researchers have been doing studies on coffee and they have not found that coffee is harmful. On the other hand, as notloki points out, several studies have shown benefit to drinking coffee. Coffee is one drink that you can drink freely as long as you don't pile it full with sugar and creamer.
