Sorry for the silence, fellow Littens; I haven't been feeling right for a while so at the urging of the BBE, finally went to see my doctor. It turns out I display many of the classic symptoms of depression, & have been put on medication for the time being. I'm glad the BBE intervened before things got worse but wish I'd clued in earlier.

Jess7 My late aunt struggled with depression all of her life.

Tanner @Jess7 I think I shocked a couple of people at work when I freely told them I was on meds - "That's just not something people talk about." It should be! Thanks for the recs; I'm going to do some library-book downloading today. 8y
Tanner @Notafraidofwords Thanks - I intend to! 8y
Tanner @Hoopiefoot Me too - I actually feel better for having gone and have her taking me seriously. 8y
Tanner @mrsmarch It's true - I would always tell that to the BBE, but I forgot to practice what I preach. 8y
Smangela Beautiful picture! Thinking of you! Baby steps are key :) 8y
Tanner @Smangela Thanks! Yup, don't want to overwhelm myself again. 8y
