beetigerNot much on my mind today, but I felt bad leaving my last post hanging out there without an update. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lediva's sleeping in the guest room. sythyry's cooking Thai food in the kitchen. I still need to work on recultivating my local friendships, but life looks much better from the vantge point of a bunch of rest and a little less being on my feet.
Yes, I'm pretty convinced that my cyclical depression is cycling back on. But I'm determined to see if I can handle it without going back on medication, this time. I've got enough folks keeping an eye on me to tell me if I'm failing. But I do need to find a local talk therapist again, even if the logistics for this now are currently pretty implausible.
The strange thing about this LiveJournal experience is that you shout into the wind, and it shouts back. Thanks for the support, all.

Date: 2003-05-24 04:12 pm (UTC)Feel free to use us as your Group Therapy. Lots of us . . . (well, at least me) are very familiar with cyclical depression, although only once has it struck me in the Spring/Summer. I've never beaten it with drugs (though I had a severe one or two that could've been shortened with drugs, I'm sure) so I know a few tricks. Just ask.
For better or for worse, I often think of those who comment on my journal as my personal Greek Chorus or Peanut Gallery, depending on what they're saying. Either way, they motivate me to keep writing, and writing makes me feel great. Hmm, it has been a few days since I posted, hasn't it? Nothin' new to report, but I should flesh out one of the entries that have been sitting in my head for weeks or months . . . . . .
