Classic depression signs.
Fri Sep 28 2001

Went to bed at 7:30 last night - told the Professor I was really tired from our friend from Norway's visit and needed to catch up on sleep. And I did sleep, too, until six this morning when the alarm clock went off. I always get this way when I get really down. Appetite is awful as well - I'm starving during the day, but can barely eat anything when I get home at night. The Prof knows I'm trying to lose weight, so he doesn't question this either. Figures it's just part of my diet, I guess.

I got a really nice e-mail from an e-friend in Australia who saw my little tirade on the forum yesterday and just wrote to say she understood. That meant a lot to me, especially considering that my last email from anyone on the boards was to rip me a new one because I'd asked them to back off for a little bit. I responded to that one rather rudely, I'm afraid. But I've already gotten into that in a previous entry.

No plans for the weekend. I know I should make some, since I'll only fall further into my stupor if I don't force myself to get out and do something. Nothing looks particularly appealing at the moment though.

    Sorry you're feeling depressed. Hopefully it will pass soon. Is your friend gone back to Norway already?

    *HUGS*

    Did this kick in especially hard on the 1 year anniversary of your mom's passing away? I know that you were down before that, but it followed so closely onto the attacks. I may be just seeing something there that's not necessarily true.

    It's hard to kick out of depression. Doing something that you feel will improve your life can sometimes help...taking classes...finding a better job...I doubt you're going to do these right now, but they're just examples.
