Wow - it's October already!!! :eek: :eek:
We're getting some much needed rain along with cooler temps too. I like autumn - watching the leaves change color and feeling the little 'nip' in the air is rejuvenating to me for some reason. :)
I'm planning to try a new approach to treat my depression. I saw my psychologist today and I suggested doing something different just to see if I have a little more success in coping, with a little less discomfort. I believe that depression is certainly an illness in its own right and it deserves to be acknowledged and respected, but for myself, I've come to realize that my depression is also an extension of other issues that I need to deal with. And conveniently (and painfully), the depression is sort of a sponge that absorbs everything, making it less likely for me to address the other issues, and more likely to get even more depressed, immobilizing me by the overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and then almost nothing gets done. :( So, we'll start making some changes this month and I'm praying that I can "get out of my own way", as they say, to allow this to be beneficial.
Have a peaceful night!
