A quick note....

[theodosia]

On top of my other troubles, work has been extremely busy these past two days, which added some to the stress I was already under. Still, at least I've been able to suck it up and get some good work done there, but I've stayed until 7 PM both days... not exactly what I really need.

And then I slept through the radio alarm this morning, so I went in late.

I'm feeling much more on keel now, and more determined than ever to do something about my unhappiness. (I kind of feel there should be some distinction made between unhappiness and depression. I think you get to have real reasons for unhappiness, whereas depression comes more from within.)

I still have to talk about the damn movie, really. But it will have to wait until tomorrow.

I'm glad to hear of your more-on-keel feeling!

I agree with this. Chemical imbalances happen, but sometimes life just sucks.

And sometimes life sucks and there's a chemical imbalance, which is what makes it all so hard to sort out.

But yeah--it does feel like there's a difference between ordinary sorrow and depression, though I haven't figured out how to put it to words. Sadness has less weight on it, fewer jaggedy edges, or something. But that's not quite it, either.
