How to deal with Relentless, Relentless depression!

Oh man, this relentless depression is really getting me down!

I've had a lot of trouble with depression in the past month. I can't explain it. Nothing major has happened- but then maybe I don't consider it major, but my brain does.

It's so important to chart your mood every night- you can get some great information this way-  triggers, sleep issues, relationships issues, work problems, adhd symptoms, etc are much easier to track on a chart.

I feel really helpless sometimes. If the mood swings just come on their own, all I can do it deal with them when they arrive. I'm always ready with my tools, but I truly prefer prevention.

Today's depression is taking away my pleasure in having a new office, seeing Star Trek tonight, being with my mom and her dog, talking with my nephew, writing blogs, working with my webmaster- it all seems so pointless. But I will 100% keep doing it anyway. And I know I will feel a lot better if I just keep going.

Depression sucks. I will not let it keep me from doing things.
