lighter shade of blue

[CKrissie]

Trying to make it to the end each day having something accomplished. And these days the smallest thing I take as a win. It is not easy getting anything done right now and all tasks seem bigger than what they are. I am finding it hard to concentrate and seems to take me longer than usual to get anything done. When I am not this sad and the sky turns to a much lighter shade of blue, I hope that I will fill my day slaying whatever it is I may want to do. When the sky turns to a lighter shade of blue.

"And these days the smallest thing I take as a win." Excellent keep giving yourself credit. I hope the sky turns to a lighter shade of blue for you quickly. Hang in there.

I don't get much done either when I am going through a down cycle, and you just take the wins as they come, and eventually you get to the other side of this thing. For me depression is cyclical....no cure, it's always my dark passenger, but rather than dread it, or let my life be defined by it...I accept its just a part of who I am . No different than any other medical condition limitations...we just learn how to live with it and deal with it the best we can.

I always say depression is a part of who I am but doesn't define me.

I'm glad you don't let it be an obstacle....and even though we have to deal with the down cycles, we always know they will pass. Just because I have depression does not mean I can't also have good days when I am happisher, and I can enjoy life, my partner, my garden, my cat, and just find peace.
