I’ve been doing well for over a month. Then a few things happened and I went into a downswing.
Depression is so scary because it takes over every part of a person’s life, sometimes within a few minutes. I went from feeling confident and hopeful about my future, especially in terms of getting funding for my radio show- to someone who was sure that things would never work out for me.
I’ve learned to fight the second set of thoughts. Depression is always the same- it makes me doubt everything I do. And when something makes me doubt EVERYTHING, I know it isn’t real. Real doubt is MUCH more selective and realistic.
The depression lasted two days. I’m better this morning. You just have to keep going no matter what the nasty depression is telling you. I use the stuff in my books to keep going and then I get better.
I will never give up.
Julie
