At that point I realized I was already coping very well (forcing myself to exercise and eat and sleep) and was surprised to note that what I was doing was coping. <BR/><BR/>So I guess by the time you notice it, you're already on your way back to 'normal', whatever normal is for you? <BR/><BR/>I've been feeling generally deflated for a long time now, though, and my whole life is basically a series of habits designed to help me function in spite of that. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'm hoping that eventually this feeling will wear off, even though, if past experience serves as any indication, I know it always comes back.Ms.PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542602867472447035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362402102015121442.post-86016493899164680442008-07-14T00:24:00.000-04:002008-07-14T00:24:00.000-04:00I'm a little behind, I know, but I just want to sa...I'm a little behind, I know, but I just want to say that I think it's excellent that you can recognize these things about yourself and know the things that <I>you</I> need to make them better. That sense of empowerment alone can help get you out of it.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I'm totally jealous about the beach. What did I do today? Sit through (willingly, I must admit) 25 talks.

It's always like this, a complete suprise but I'm pretty good at pulling myself out of it once it does hit me. <BR/><BR/>Today I'm paying attention to what I eat, spent a lovely morning and early afternoon at the beach just relaxing and now I'm lounging around at home thinking about doing some work but not feeling stressed about it.Psych Post Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820776188567097127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362402102015121442.post-21546691491478607042008-07-12T10:32:00.000-04:002008-07-12T10:32:00.000-04:00Yep. it's going around.

One thing I've learnt the hard way is you've just got to take time for vacations sometimes it's not an option you just have to. I hope you have a lovely weekend.AnotherSocialScientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036145579291240335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362402102015121442.post-5038728701792444282008-07-12T07:16:00.000-04:002008-07-12T07:16:00.000-04:00I'm sorry.

Depression always sneaks up on me too - I've usually spent several days feeling really crappy before I identify that it's a real mood issue. But <I>yay</I> for having a plan to combat it! The beach sounds amazing - I'm jealous - and I hope Monday finds you feeling much better.post-dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493309260165352484noreply@blogger.com
