The Best Work Week Yet

The following work week went surprisingly well. I had to fight the negative feelings in the morning, but managed to make it through and get some things done. I worked all day Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and most of the morning on Tuesday. For some reason on Tuesday, I was feeling more down that I had. I can't explain it and I don't know why. It just happens and that has been extremely frustrating during this whole depression battle. I don't feel like I have control over my feelings. Unfortunately, life doesn't stop for stuff like this so I roll with the punches the best I can. Other than that it was a fairly uneventful week.

I had another appointment Thursday night. At that point, I was feeling pretty good, which was a nice change. Perhaps it was because I knew I had a fun weekend ahead of me. Whatever, the case, Victoria (my therapist) noticed a difference too as I seemed to be smiling more and in a more upbeat mood. It was a good way to end the workweek. It also presented a bit of a challenge as my next appointment was not for another 4 weeks or so because she was heading on vacation. She gave me her cell, but I have no intention of using it unless things get really bad. And with the crap I've gone through emotionally, that's no guarantee...unfortunately.
