Major Depressive Disorder

There’s Too Much Going on Today, No Time for Depression

July 26, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I need dellf care today, no time for depression

Today is a day for self-care, there is no time for depression. My Wellbutrin 150 mg and my body seem to be OK with each other. I am six weeks into the new medicine. It has also been two weeks since I completely stopped the Prozac. The transition has been mostly seamless. But there were two days that had me catastrophizing. I was sure I was headed to the abyss. But that … [Read more...] about There’s Too Much Going on Today, No Time for Depression

Am I Strong Enough to Publicly Acknowledge my Depression?

July 23, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Am I string enough to tell the world I have major depressive disorder?

Seeing others openly write about their personal struggles, I am feeling like a weakling. Their name is connected to their struggle with whatever is happening to them. I have a good friend who is sharing her thoughts about stress and anxiety.  And there are all the celebrities who have come out and shared their stories about living with depression. Plus, the stories … [Read more...] about Am I Strong Enough to Publicly Acknowledge my Depression?

Are these house flies depression triggers for me?

My depression and unhelpful thinking is much more subtle than house flies. I’m sitting on the porch, enjoying my first cup of coffee. Then I notice something tickling my leg. Just below my knee is a house fly. It looks up at me with all its eyes as if to say “what?” Then I sweep my hand down near it and if flies off. Before I can grab my coffee cup, another has landed on … [Read more...] about These Flies Won’t Quit Pestering Me This Morning – Are They Triggers?

Just Me and My Depression

July 7, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss 2 Comments

Who will be my friend if depression and I break up?

If I am “cured” of depression, who will be my friend? Boy, that sounds terrible as I read what I just wrote. And there are several things that jump out at me about that statement. First, I know I will never be cured. A broken leg heals, but that is not the same. Researchers are looking for a cure for cancer, healing those who have it. A cure means people will not die … [Read more...] about Just Me and My Depression

I’m a Little Nervous This Morning

June 11, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I am nervous about my appointment with a new Psychiatrist today

Why? I’m still not sure what to say to my new Psychiatrist. And the appointment is less than five hours away. Yes, I have made some notes and collected documents. I have my Aetna Insurance card and my drivers license. In the bathroom, I hung a large cloth bag to collect all my current prescription medication, plus the supplements I am taking. Once again, I have all the … [Read more...] about I’m a Little Nervous This Morning

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.

And I write to share what I am learning so you and I can lead a balanced life.
