Happy Little SAD Light

November 28th, 2011 — Dealz, Depression, Ebates

In the interest of sharing the wealth, I thought I’d disclose the bargain I got on a SAD light, in case anyone else would like to partake. I chose this one because it got good reviews, was reasonably priced (compared with the $300+ versions), and yeah, that’s pretty much it. Full disclosure: many reviews mentioned… Continue reading →

Brain Chemistry Doesn’t Care About Reality

November 27th, 2011 — Depression, Winter Blahs

The reality is, my life is awesome. I’m blessed in so many ways. I have a lovely house to live in, to raise my beautiful family in, to stay warm and dry in. My family is healthy, happy, and full of love. I’m able to make my living doing something I love, on my own… Continue reading →

A Much-Needed (Good) Weekend

February 6th, 2011 — Depression, Friendship

With so many changes all at once, it’s hard to pinpoint what it was that worked. In the span of a week, I doubled my Prozac, added a metric ton of Vitamin D, some B-12, Calcium-Magnesium and subtracted dairy.

January 31st, 2011 — Depression

It’s back. That damned depression that I’ve spent my entire life battling, is back. I got caught up in all the happiness and pure joy of life with a new baby, which by the way, totally caught me off guard. I’m used to being depressed after having a baby. If that happiness hadn’t been there… Continue reading →

As Fiona sits here filling her pants, it occurs to me that… Scratch that. That leads to nothing. I just wanted to mention that Fi is currently filling her pants next to me and very serious about it. Thank goodness for her hilarious antics, because I’m so over the constant, all-consuming gray of winter that my… Continue reading →

I Did Something!

January 8th, 2011 — Depression, Totally Random

Granted, it was just switching out my blog theme, but this is something I’ve been wanting to do lately. And I did it! I like the dark color scheme lots. Let me know what you think, if you are so inclined. Or don’t. I’m not gonna change it anyway. Heh. Clearly I still have a… Continue reading →

Ambition – Motivation = Depression

January 8th, 2011 — Depression

I often get so overwhelmed with things I want or need to do that I completely shut down. Today for instance. I have a house that, more often than not, is totally trashed. Dog hair abounds (and I just vacuumed yesterday), random puzzle pieces have taken over my table (along with mail, a bra, a… Continue reading →
