You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Brain dump - moodiness whine warning

I am really ready to trade in my body. Anxiety seems under control after being back on meds for like 4 months, that's great....but now an ever present low-level depression is my daily struggle. I am on month 2 of tracking how I feel each day for the therapist. Scale is 1-5. 1 requires crying unrelated to specific events, 5 requires feeling happy regardless of specific events. It is a sea of 2s and 3s. No 5s. Only a couple of 1s (today is a 1, I despise crying at work, thank dogs no one really notices me and I can just sit here working on Spreadsheets).

I think both therapist and GP are reluctant to put me on more meds. This is a new development, the Celexa kept depression at bay last time. All I want to do is stay in bed. I sm deeding having to travel over July 4 to see family. I know I will be fine once there, will enjoy it, will enjoy them, but I cannot muster enthusiasm. Everything is exhausting, I'm exhausting. I am sick of myself and the negativity and blahness in my head. It doesn't feel right and I don't like this person.

tl:dr. - brain chemistry sucks, life goes on.

I'm sorry, msbelle. That's so hard. I hope you and your therapist can come up with something that helps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry, msbelle. That's exhausting.

I am playing one of my favorite games: "Is everyone else late, or was this meeting canceled with no warning?"

ugh, I'm sorry you're having to deal with that now, msbelle. Sending love! fwiw. I'm glad you have a team helping you even if they can't fix everything.

I feel like there's some sort of Game of Thrones analogy lurking in there, Dana, but I can't quite tease it out.

I took this morning off so I could be here when my mulch is delivered. I was in theory going to be working from home, and I will monitor my email but I think if nothing urgent comes sup I will just use some vacation time and relax a little.

I wonder why I always want to call some candidates by their first name and some by their last and even some by their full name. There's the first name crowd: Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Marco. Then there's the last name group: Trump, Christie, Cruz. And the full namers: Ben Carson, Carly F... however you spell it.

Brain chemistry is a poophead, msbelle. I'm sorry it's rough.

I took a sick day yesterday. I'm tired but feeling a bit better today. I'm just going to get done whatever I can, and then go home early to watch hockey.

Oh, you guys. I forgot it was bacon day in the cafeteria. BACON DAY IS BEST DAY.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Wishing Bacon Day for everyone who wants it. I had some nice bacon yesterday.

Msbelle, I hope your work in tracking your mood pays off with getting you more relief soon.
