You know the rest.
I haven't posted in a long while, for various reasons (to hopefully become clear later), but mostly because my depression is in remission.
Which is not the same as cancer-related remission: depression never really goes away. I still have to take the pharmaceutical cocktails, eat the mood enhancing foods in the right amounts (to avoid the pound-packing side effects of the aforementioned cocktails). I still have to be careful of what you watch, listen to or read: Seinfeld good, Tori Amos not-so-good, The Godfather forget it. Which is sad because Tori Amos has some truly wonderful music. I've consoled myself by reading and re-reading and re-re-reading her book, which reassures me that there are others out there that march to the beat of the drums they've made, and have done quite well.
But I digress. Long story short: my energies have gone from daily digging myself up out of my depression to dealing with the day to day craziness of keeping it at bay while getting on with life and all of its associated insanity. And as that goes, so goes the focus of this blog. I no longer need a place to put everything I'm doing to pull myself out of the pit, I need a place to put the craziness that happens in my thoughts and in my life so that I don't fall back in. Hence the title, link and description changes for this blog. Maybe, if I ever have the time, I'll throw some design changes in as well.
Hopefully, I won’t need to change it back any time soon. If this blog works for me the way it should, I shouldn’t.
