Was Reducing My Wellbutrin a Good Idea? – Part 2

March 9, 2023 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Wellbutrin medication I am changing doses from 450 mg. to 300 mg

The afterglow of having family at our home has faded, along with the strength of my Wellbutrin. It was me that brought up reducing my daily dosage when I last met with my psychiatrist. I cited how warm and lighter the winter had been so far and that I had not needed to get out my daylight box. Plus, having gone to Africa, the winter had been broken into pre and post-trek to … [Read more...] about Was Reducing My Wellbutrin a Good Idea? – Part 2

I Learned Something About Working with Others Today

March 8, 2023 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I learned that I try to control people and it is not depression that is doing this

Photo by Sivani Bandaru on Unsplash It appears that I am very bad at it. I would like to think that I have a knack for working with others and inspiring them to do their absolute best.

Perhaps it’s because I treat them the way I would want to … [Read more...] about I Learned Something About Working with Others Today

Did depression keep me from my therapist appointment?

It wasn’t that I didn’t have an appointment. And it wasn’t for inattention on my part. Or at least it felt that way to me. I called my employer's Care network. And I answered all their questions. They wanted to know if I preferred a male or a female therapist. I explained that I have worked with both. All I want is someone who I can talk with and possibly connect … [Read more...] about Was it Depression’s Fault I Did Not Meet My New Therapist Last Night?

Depression is pulling my leg sbout my ability to love myself

Depression has been making me feel unimportant and not worth loving for decades. It has done its best to keep me from seeing my own personal worth. With unhelpful thinking, my depression has shown me how much I have screwed up. And I get to relive all these instances where I was less than perfect. So, if I didn’t catch how worthless I was the first time, depression will … [Read more...] about How Is Depression Pulling My Leg So I Won’t Think I Really Am Somebody?

If you can’t love yourself, how the heck are you going to love someone else?

February 17, 2023 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Rue Paul, and my depression ask, If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?

Quote by RuPaul Unlike RuPaul, much of the time, I don’t have a high opinion of myself. There is so much I haven’t done. My life with concealed depression has forced me to have a public face and persona. I have spent years developing a brand that shows strength, stability, and reliability. Being the go-to guy is important to me. I can solve problems and de-escalate … [Read more...] about If you can’t love yourself, how the heck are you going to love someone else?
