I cycle thru my depression. Sometimes I'm up high and energized, other times I'm low.
I never know which one it will be at any given moment.
I've been so silent these last several months. That's why I haven't blogged. You've heard the saying, "If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all." There you have it. My excuse for not writing.
I admit that the depression has been kicking my butt lately. Negativity and it's cousin, apathy are making it hard to function.
But here I am again. Still depressed. Still anxious. But this time I'm fighting back.
A few changes since I blogged last:
* quit my job due to the level of anxiety I was experiencing and work was not helping.
* started hypnotherapy
* car broke down and I had to get it fixed. Talk about anxiety!
What makes the difference between depression that debilitates and depression that is empowering?
I think that the debilitating depression is like a leech. It.sucks the very life out of you. I want to do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
Empowering depression is the kind that pushes me to move forward. To stay one step ahead of the negativity. To fight and sometimes lose, sometimes win.
There are common depression symptoms. But everyone experiences them differently. I am no exception.
Depression is a force to be reaconed with. But then again, so am I.
