Sometimes, It Is All Rainbows!

February 12, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss 1 Comment

Yesterday was all rainbows as I live with depression

Yesterday was one of those days. Even though I did not get to bed until 3 AM, I was up a little after 8 AM. Not only did I have time to write, but I was able to spend time getting caught up on family matters.

Even the discovery of a mouse or possible mice, in the … [Read more...] about Sometimes, It Is All Rainbows!

While everyone procrastinates occasionally, it can easily become a habit … [Read more...] about Why do I set challenges for myself?

Unhelpful thinking styles get in the way of living a balanced life with depression

Why do I suddenly feel the need to explain myself? I am almost five months out from my hospital stay for depression.  That is almost five months of living with depression, of saying the word depression out loud, and keeping depression out in the open where I can see it.

I write My Concealed Depression to create Mental Health AwarenessHello, I am Joel. I have Major Depressive Disorder. As I meet others with mental illness, they often tell me they feel alone.

With 40+ years of living with concealed depression, I write my blog to let others know you are not alone. Others are going through the same things.
