A Message to the Depressed.





This youtuber is known to me mostly because he plays League of Legends and makes videos about it. But shortly after Robin Williams passed he put out this video. Husband showed it tow me, and it is one of the only times I have ever heard someone put words to how depression feels, at least how it normally feels to me.

Why I haven't had much to say lately

I feel a little like I'm in a slump, trying to keep ahead is rather hard at the moment for me (mostly due to those fun little mental roadblocks) I am working full time, taking care of part of the house (Husband has been doing so much of the dishes and cleaning for me) corralling the kiddos. It seems like we are just moving from one thing to another with no rest and no way to catch up.
It's a struggle to keep ahead of everything, especially bills. Thankfully we're not falling behind on anything, but it is so hard to do anything other than play catch up. I've been tweaking my budget plans and talking with Husband and hopefully that will help with some of it. But that megar little scraps that is left over after bills is so difficult to live on sometimes.

I suppose the one really good thing about finally sitting down and writing this out is that I now realize one of the things that's weighing me down the most, I've started to feel the weight of depression again.
Now before anyone starts to freak out (that would be you Nana) I'm not at a stage to be worried about right now. I have -finally- realize what has been pulling me down and can now start planning the attack to battle it.

No longer will I battle depression on the defensive!

sorry, for some reason as I was typing about attacking depression I just saw 

in my head, so yeah, I think I'm okay :-)

all that being said, now that I know what is going on in my crazy head it can only get better.
