just lb, writing to say she doesn't write anymore

[djlaurieb]

I don't know what's wrong with me. In general, not just with regards to lj. I think I'm in a big time winter slump here. Not really depressed, but so so SO low energy, I just can't seem to motivate myself to do much of anything. There are days I wonder if it's time for me to "see someone" - isn't there a saying something about, if you have to

There are days I wonder if it's time for me to "see someone" - isn't there a saying something about, if you have to THINK about whether or not you're depressed, you probably are?"

Well... depression aside... I think therapy can be a wonderful thing. I started therapy several years ago when I was in a pretty bad place (scratch that- a VERY bad place) but I found it so helpful that I've stuck with it. It's very insightful and I've just learned SO much about myself over time. I found a therapist who I really connected with and we have a great doc/patient relationship. I'm not ashamed of it at all. I really think it's helped me in many ways. I just have to budget for it.

Instead of looking at it as a negative you could look at it as a positive step.

Nope! how about a big virtual HUG!

Hey there lb, sometimes you just need a break. You know, a step back from it all so you can take a breather and then get back to it all when you feel like it. It may not necessarily be depression but just a desire to.....well.....take a break. :) And focus what energy you happen to have on you.

Nothing wrong with it (in fact, that was my past 6 weeks in a nutshell). (((snuggles)))

too bad i'm a bit far away to do the kicking, but then again i know you'd kick back...

but hey, we all have droughts and slumps. and if you need to talk to someone better skilled in that stuff, no problem.. there could be worse things to worry about. as long as you're still around in some way, that's all me and the others would worry about.

maybe one of these days i'll have to ship home some powder-milk biscuts.
