quietness

Yes, I’ve been a bit quiet. I guess I’m distracted with holiday stuff, school, family. I haven’t been doing enough personal writing. The deep things. I keep a paper journal for that. And I’ve been neglecting it. When I do, I can feel it; things are a bit off kilter when that happens. I’ve figured out over the years it’s just what I need for my sanity.
I see signs of where I’m headed and have a foreboding feeling. I’ve been down the road of depression before and I will do everything I can not to go there again.
Here’s what’s strange about it. My job is good. My life is good. School is fine. I feel very little stress. Yet I still feel the urge to sleep all the time, my emotions are on a short fuse, I’ve lost interest in many of my normal activities, my spending has gone up, and I haven’t been to the gym. And I know those signs too well.
The hard part is figuring out how to reverse it before I go down that slope again. So I’ll be working on it.
