Errithing is fine

Let's change a tone of the posts for Christmas - we are not really that stressed, or depressed. Everything is great or at least not bad at all. Wind is pleasantly chilly and all problems seem small and wither gonna be solved or will solve themselves.

Do we have it bad? No really .. look, we are here, in warmth, have internet. That's actually really good. In year 1250. we'd probably have to substitute all that with smashing dirt with a stick and hoping wolves don't eat our babies.

Man... depression now seems like a distant boring activity I engaged because it was so comfortable to just "FEEEL". But you know what is also comfortable? To DO pleasant things. To DO unpleasant things too (so the pleasant ones feel even more like a reward). And to then feel good and active and stimulated.

What's the opposite for depression? Stimulation. Let's stop stimulating ourselves with things and thoughts that don't really solve anything. If we can't immediately do something about it, we don't think about it.

.. I'm-a go take a hike in woods today and then buy a ton of chinese knock-off thingies for gifts to little cousins. Also my mom and dad needs a call. And no more work as it is holiday season. Girlfriend wanted to try snowboarding. And local bar said there's 24hour happy hour tomorrow..

What a nice uplifting mail, which is great if we are only suffering situational depression. But people such as myself who suffer from clinical depression, it does not mean a thing, as we can hardly get out of bed, clean our teeth, or comb our hair.

As I am finally out of a 3 year battle, I say to those who suffer as such, be patient with yourself, attempt to be around loving, caring people who will not push you, but give you the support you need.

I wish You All happiness no matter the time of year, New Year is coming, Spring will not be far behind, good things to look forward to. Love, & Hugs, Peace & Courage to you ALL.....Sprinkle 1......
