Maybe the change in barometric pressure has me feeling down

August 27, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I cannot put my finger on it. Today has been blah. Not overly bad, not overly good, just blah. My to-do list was long. The self-care part for me was to be outside, on the front porch, drinking my coffee, no cell phone, no laptop, just me and nature. That part of the day was relaxing. After that, I worked my list.  I did manage to get the trash and recycling to … [Read more...] about Maybe the change in barometric pressure has me feeling down

The morning I walked into the hospital; my focus … [Read more...] about Did you know I have guns?

Am I seeing the future clearly?

May 19, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Today I am thinking I can work again. Not that I haven’t been, but the pace and intensity I feel just ratcheted up a notch. This is only the second day since I was in the hospital for depression that I have felt like I could really get back into my business. The crazy thing is I am not reinventing the wheel. Everything I outlined to start doing again in my business this … [Read more...] about Am I seeing the future clearly?

How Did This Happen? I’m Me!

May 7, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 1 Comment

I have felt like myself for several hours, no depression

For the past two hours, I have been me. Not super happy or sad, just me. How is this possible? My depression had been keeping me from myself. The Prozac must have reached a saturation point in my system. Or the hand of fate moved it to the side. Or my decision this morning to block out chunks of time for my depression, and chunks of time to work, is working. “Who the hell … [Read more...] about How Did This Happen? I’m Me!
