Today, I have been home sick and depressed for so long that I just found Oreo crumbs in my belly button. FML

Disgusting
Today, I noticed a disgusting, cheesy smell and spent all day wondering what it was. I later found out that it wasn't coming from my feet, but from my belly button. My surgery wound got infected. I'm a germaphobe. FML

Today, I found out that the crumbs on the couch that look like the Oreos you just ate, can actually turn out to be very crunchy, and have legs. FML

Stupid rule
Today, I’ve been violently ill with diarrhea, and have been for past three days. I finally discovered why. It's because I ate a piece of candy off the recently-cleaned floor last week. My immune system is so weak, it can’t respect the 5-second rule. FML

Today, I am home sick with a sinus infection. I had to break up a fight between my two dogs over who got to chew on my snotty tissue. FML

Today, I found a mealworm in my cornflakes. I had already finished most of the bowl. I didn't make it to the toilet to throw up. FML

You BASTARD!
Today, suffering from severe morning sickness followed by cravings for salty food, I had stacked our fridge with yummy snacks. When finally emerging from our bathroom after retching this morning, I found out my husband had eaten all my snacks the night before. FML

Gutsy move
Today, dealing with anxiety and depression, I finally got up the energy to bake. I chose homemade enchiladas. I then spent the whole day walking from the toilet to the nearest couch (and vice versa), feeling like my intestines were going to blow. No more enchiladas for me for a long time. FML

You'd probably feel better if you took a shower and went outside.

Depression sucks- and just to say this so people don't spam OP with it, going outside isn't a magical cure all for depression. OP, you might want to consider investing in a psychiatrist if your depression doesn't go away. Hope you recover.

One doesn't even have to see a psychiatrist, they could simply speak with their regular doctor. Zoloft, Xanax, and other medication can be prescribed by a primary health care provider. But I agree with you, the great outdoors doesn't always fix everything, it could even make the depression worse.

People shouldn't be jumping straight on medication for depression. If a doctor puts a patient on medication without letting them see a mental health care professional (physiologist/physiatrist) then that isn't a very good doctor. Unless OP is extremely suicidal, medication should be the step after therapy.

therapy is usually always the first step to getting better, doctors usually recommend you to a therapist and it helps tremendously (well in my case it did.)

Hey OP. Everyone feels homesick sometimes and the best you could do is just keep your head up(: Feel better. You're not alone on this!

Or it could've been the dirt that goes along with such a nasty-ass lifestyle...

Yep, #94--and I said it. Because finding chunks of food large enough to be recognizable in your belly-button (or anywhere, really), is F'ing gross.

Can't blame you, Oreos are good.

Aw, that's sad...it would have been great if you found that great creamy filling in your belly button. Delicious!

Maybe you should get over yourself and do something with your life.

Depression doesn't work that way. You can't just get over it, and most of the time all a depressed person wants is to be able to beat their depression. Even if you are doing something with your life you can still be depressed. Even the most successful people doing meaningful work can get caught in depression.

Damn, why are people so rude in this FML? I'm sure everyone has been depressed at least once in their life.

A lot of people are ***** and seem to think you can just will away mental illness, when, in reality, that's as stupid as trying to will away cancer.

My question is, when was the last time you had Oreos? If It was earlier today that isn't so bad but if we're talking like a week ago....

I made an account just for this. OP, go find help. I know depressions can soak up all of your time and energy, it takes time to heal, but it can be fixed. Start by trying to get up every morning at a set time, shower and get dressed, even if you're not going anywhere, you'll see a difference in no time.
