I've been having a bit of a funk lately. And when I say "funk" I mean "the blues, but without the catchy music."
One of the bad things about a depressive episode (apart from the appetite and sleep disturbances, the thoughts of guilt and hopelessness, etc.) is that I lose interest in some of my hobbies. I'm still spinning yarn, but I've lost all interest in knitting at the moment. Sure, it looks like fun, but I just can't find the energy to care about it.
It may be a bit before I find the time/energy/motivation to get back to blogging regularly. It may be even longer before I can write anything that I consider clever enough to be worth posting on the blog.
In the mean time, I'm keeping in close contact with my mental health person and doing what I tell my patients to do: keep going to therapy and keep taking your perscriptions, because it works eventually.
And if it's not working enough and you can't get ahold of your doc/therapist and you're thinking of harming yourself, go to the local ER or call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK, both numbers of the National Suicide Hotline in the US.

I'm sorry to hear it. I'll be praying for you and I hope that things start looking up soon.

Oh, my. I saw you after spinning out walking with the family, but was on the wrong side of the road to stop. Hope all goes well for you, and give a buzz if you feel like talking. Mom and I are thinking of you!
