Differentiating sadness

Posted by seldomseen on February 3, 2009, at 21:00:04

So, as I posted earlier, I've been feeling quite abysmal lately.

I've also had some really terrible things happen within the past week.

1. Niece got very sick
2. Discovered a large mass in the abdomen of one my oldest and most precious cats.
3. Best friend started having major health issues (think cancer, multiple sclerosis)

However, as each of those things has surfaced, been dealt with and come to some sort of temporary resolution, it's odd - but I feel better. I would have thought I would have just taken to the bed, never to rise again. However, just the opposite has happened. I'm on the upswing.

I think it is because it has taken the swirling blackness and given it form. It is now something tangible rather than the morass of grief. It differentiated.

So, is a treatment for being down somehow managing to find more down?

Somehow I doubt it, but here I am feeling much better.

It's an interesting turn of the beast for sure.

Seldom.
