Hi JKL, thanks for your concern. Don't worry though, I've been under psychologists and on various meds since 1990, I'm well looked after. And I'm an outpatient at the local psychiatric clinic and the neuro-psychological ward.

the weather and time of year don't bother me. I don't have weather-dependent moods. I AM glad to be back to work after not really working since mid Jan. when my department at work was eliminated. I'm working Amazon too, but switching things around and scaling it down so I can start Phlebotomy classes in Feb or March. I haven't been excited about Christmas for a long time, but my wife is home for the last 2 weeks of December, so that's a positive. I just keep chooglin'.
Happens I suffer from chronic depression; I'm well-medicated for it but believe me, I understand what it's like. I was just trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
To go with the main theme of the thread, what I listen to when I'm down is hyperbouncy stuff: PFM's "Celebration," the Walt Disney Main Street Electrical Parade theme, "Mongonucleosis" by Chicago, Pete Townshend's "Face The Face." I have a CD I made of this stuff and I defy anyone to listen to it and not cheer up at least a little.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
This is actually one of the things I tell myself when I'm wallowing in self-pity. It usually works, but sometimes it does make things worse, only because I wind up beating myself up. But, whatever. Hope you folks don't wallow for too long - if I've learned anything, it's that life can change, whether you want it to or not.
If you can channel that into exercising or working out, I've found that that's an awesome way to climb out of the hole. Beneficial in so many ways.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Scott, thanks for mentioning that. Agree 100% . Get moving: go running, go swimming, ride a bike...whatever, just move.
It's been a long time since I've experienced deep depression, but when I feel mildly depressed, I find Anathema to be uplifting - WHBWH and Weather Systems.
Progressive Ears is all the medicine I need to alleviate the blues...winter, spring, summer, OR fall
