Depression Episode Mood
Tuesday, August 25, 2009

 

 

                            Yesterday I had a depression episode at my computer. I started a shut down mode with DS. I have had this happen in the past. Yesterday I was ready to close it out. The crying was interesting. I haven't cried for years. Today I am better, and my mind is clear.

 

                          Yesterday I saw why DS is so important in my life. People here know what it feels like. They have had similiar experiences. They know about crying, and doing regretful things. They knew what I was feeling. This has passed, and I know it will be back. I had my meds upped 150mg welbutrin. Maybe it kicked in I don't know.

 

                        Let me say this, this isn't about getting an academy award or playing to an audience. This is the real deal. I have many friends who have known I was not well since I got home and saw how I was feeling. I lost a friend today because of yesterday, but gained many more. The support in DS is strong. Thank you all for giving me your love, support, and compassion.
