The fact that you understand where you are is a great thing. It means you know you can't stay there. I have no great advice since when I am there . . . I don't know how to get out. I used to go running, but my aging-out-of-shape body doesn't allow that anymore. Take care of yourself. Be careful with yourself. And you're in my prayers.Julie Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311231654035295596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-79995911019564529642008-01-19T15:38:00.000-05:002008-01-19T15:38:00.000-05:00Being one who has had mild depression, I can relat...Being one who has had mild depression, I can relate somewhat. I still get down sometimes but things have been better for me for the last couple of years.<BR/><BR/>Someone I know used to always say that only "you" can pick how you feel about yourself and your mood. He is my mentor at work and didn't know that I was suffering with depression, or maybe he did? He used to encourage me to always be positive. So I tried it. You know what...it actually helped me. I have him to thank for helping me change the way I think about things. I still sometimes go back to the dark side but I can recognize it and bring myself back to the light side.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get through it soon. Take care!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-85803551430116808062008-01-18T16:59:00.000-05:002008-01-18T16:59:00.000-05:00I'm sorry.

That is different from your depressions of the past, don't you think? I know exactly what you mean, as I struggle too. I think you have the tools to chisel it out, and it won't stay around too long.
