Depression, introspection.

[hourglassfull]

I think myself into these downward spirals, but I know that I can also think my way out. I always have. It's how I'm still alive to write this. It gets easier to spot warning signs, but it doesn't get any easier to arrest the progress once a downward-spiral starts. I've had a bad few days

Any change in weather makes my fibromyalgia flare up, and while the warmth has been welcome, the fluctuating temperatures and damp air have exacerbated my joint pain.

Totally with you on this. Spring is such a mixed blessing for me.

You need some *hugs!* I hope your pain, both emotional and physical, wanes soon.

I know what you mean about feeling like you're betraying your younger self, I've had that feeling :| but hooray for doing what's right for you. I miss my younger self sometimes, but when I catch glimpses of her in myself, it's when I'm depressed, so... that's a little fucked up. I should be embracing the older wiser me. *snort*

I hope that the pain eases soon.

Glad you found the strength to break up with the guy.

I know what you mean by seeing the signs I saw them slowly this time allthough still doesn't make it easy to get out of the ditch (spiral).
