I apologize for letting the BLOG lie dormant, I had to go out of town on business, but I am back now. I am hoping to get the promised dietary stuff up this evening.
I terms of what's going on now, things are alright, although I am still digging myself out of a tremendously deep hole here at work that my depression and I dug. I think I am catching up, but it’s very easy to let the amount of work I need to do depress me if I am not careful. Although I think this type of depression is just normal stress, not chemically induced.
I am still trying to figure out exactly what this illness means long term, while simultaneously trying to not let it affect every single aspect of my life. I don't want to look at everything from a bipolar perspective, or constantly wondering how my illness is coloring my perspective on the topic.
I still fall back into old negative patterns if I am not careful, but I am making progress. The negative thought patterns don't hang around quite as long, and they don't hurt quite as much (but they are still painful as hell). Looking forward to next week's therapy session and hoping that I can have another "break through." Not holding my breath on that though.
