But still, I have stuff to say about this, so I’m going to say it. If...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NormalMisadventures/~4/IQh117KcthU" height="1" width="1"/>

As most of the people who would ever find this blog (through Facebook, mostly) know, I work in a professional position. I recently found a really amazing blog network that I wish I could join, but I can't accept myself publicizing the swings and slings of my inner brain.

updating this post to include the Thought for Today quote from the Oprah.com newsletter: "Passively accepting your sadness is the same as forgetting to build your own happiness.

It's a bummer, 'cause I had a post about this mostly written, but now I can't find it. Anyways, I have been doing better. Lots better. In fact, I think I can definitely say that I am not depressed anymore.

Hey! I think I'm either through it or almost through it! Nearly a month, but I can see the other side. The stubborn gladness won. Or something. I don't care what won, as long as something did.

I woke up this morning from a nightmare where I got fired from my job for some pretty legitimate reasons (in the dream... not anything I do in real life) and I realized I'm just not expecting the best from myself or most of the people around me.

As you may have read, I have been struggling mightily with depression over the past several (now approaching three and a half) weeks. I also had decided that I was not going to put up with it any longer, so I would make depression abatement my primary priority.

On the way home, I was thinking about what I'd write about tonight.
