DEPRESSION


Today wasn't one of my better days. I found myself battling depression all day long. Admittedly, I haven't been eating properly, so I tried to correct that problem. I addressed my sleeping habits too. The great concern I have is that these may not be causes, but symptoms. I fear that the pressures of my job may be the root cause. I didn't get depressed until I went back to work.

All of my teacher friends can relate to this and are helping me work through it. Prayer and excercise are helping too.

  2. Depression can be very hard. Circumstances like job stress can trigger mine. And I agree that prayer and excercise can help, but when I'm depressed those things are extra hard. Who am I kidding, excercise is always hard.

    The drawing is poignant and beautiful. Did you draw it?

  3. No, Orangehouse, I did not draw the picture. It really summed up what I was experiencing. (I wish I had that kind of talent! Drawing would be a great way to work my way out of the occasional "hole" I find myself in.)
