Welcome Back

I've really stunk at posting lately. I think I've felt good so I haven't felt the need to post anything. Strange, really, because this has been such a necessary exercise in my health for the last couple of years. Nonetheless, here I am today with a new tale to tell.

I'm back to not feeling so great. As of today I'm feeling a touch better than I was but I am still not quite up to par. I have been in the throws of a pretty deep depression for a couple of weeks now and I'm just ready for it to be done with.

Depression is such an odd thing, at least in my case. Sure I get down sometimes because of situations or stress, but most of the time I get completely despondent for absolutely no reason. I have every reason in the world to be happy and yet I'm sad, despairing life itself. It makes no sense to me. This time around has been no different.

Two things are helping. I say helping because things are getting better everyday. First off I have friends praying for me. Whether you are the type that believes in such things or not, there is great relief in knowing someone cares enough about me to lift me in prayer. Whether or not you believe a higher power is doing something is up to you, but the knowledge of deep concern they have for me is as comfort from a higher power. Second, my medications have been adjusted. The medication adjustment takes longer to work than the prayer, at least in my experience, but between the two of them I am starting to turn the corner.

I move on from here, knowing each day will likely be an improvement. If you would pray for me. I'm praying too and would love to pray with you.
