Stinky cheese depression. Used to, I thought it was a spiritual issue. Turns out it's more chemical in nature with me, and it just drives me nuts. Thankfully, my family is understanding and they don't try to kick me out of it. I'm acquainted with folks who try to coax their depressed relatives into a good mood, taking the attitude that it's something that can be changed like a new shirt. Wish it was that easy.
Time seems to be a great healer, that and some useful herbs. But still, the darkness comes and I learn to let it pass. Within a day or so, or a few days in some cases, the clouds part. Fortunately, it rarely lasts as long as a week. In the meantime, I yearn for a book to disappear into or something to distract my attention. That helps.
Just wanted to talk about it. I know some of you have the same problem. Good to know someone else understands. It's not whining. It's just the way it is.
