I’m feeling partly cloudy this morning. Is there a storm ahead?

October 21, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Depression can make me feel cloudy and not in control

It’s not all or nothing. Feeling a little dull this morning doesn’t mean the end of the world s coming. In fact, just getting up has helped with the cloudiness. And then pouring a mug of black coffee and heading out to the front porch has helped, too. Maybe my cloudiness is related to the fog laying on the ground this morning. It is cool, almost cold, and the air … [Read more...] about I’m feeling partly cloudy this morning. Is there a storm ahead?

I stopped playing music when I’m driving

June 14, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 3 Comments

Unhelpful thinking styles had me catastrophixing turning on music whilee I drove

Silence was my only friend while driving. It wasn’t always like that. I remember buying a power booster for a Dodge Ram Charger I owned. I mounted two speakers in frames on either side of the back seat. I had an 8-track and a stereo cassette player mounted under the dash. I loved to roll the windows down and sing as I drove. So how have I ended up driving silently? At one … [Read more...] about I stopped playing music when I’m driving

Why am I still obsessing over this?

June 10, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

It’s done, I did not take the job. But I’m still rolling the decision over and over in my head. Am I sure I thought about it in the right way? Isn’t it possible it could have been good for me? Maybe it was running towards the future, not running away from the present. I am so mad. I really wanted to get going with a job outside of the house. My home-based business is still … [Read more...] about Why am I still obsessing over this?

Am I running away again if I take this job?

June 9, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 6 Comments

I said I would not take the job. Of course, that was before the interview. That was before I spent an hour answering questions from seven board members. That was before I realized how much fun I was having. When I left the interview, it seemed like they wanted me. But you never know about these things. I had asked when they would be making their decision. I was told they would … [Read more...] about Am I running away again if I take this job?

You won’t believe where I have been

You wont believe where depression has taken me

I took my time and read all 37 of my blog posts, back to day one when I came home from the hospital. What a journey already. I sound so bad, so sad, so out of it, on day one. And then I look at my recent writings and see how far I have come. This is encouraging. But it is not without setbacks. There have been days where I wondered if I would ever feel better. Days, … [Read more...] about You won’t believe where I have been
