Thanks guys. I never really knew what 'triggered' meant, but I think I do now. All it took was one case of being ignored and that was it for the rest of the week. I feel sort of bad that I took 2 1/2 days off, but I know it was what I needed. I feel much more prepared to face the world tomorrow.
When I get hit with a wave of depression, its like a physical thing. Its like I can actually feel the chemical change. Is that weird?
Clearskies - thanks for telling me I deserve to take care of myself, it was kind of something I needed to hear. I feel like everyone at work's going to be like, "what was wrong with you?" And I'll have to lie and say I had a stomach virus. I hate having to lie. But sometimes being 'too' honest gets you in trouble too. (Believe me.) I guess until mental health issues are more socially accepted, lying is the only choice. I just have to make sure it doesn't bring down my overall attitude. I just have to remember that positive breeds positive, and negative breed negative. That's my absurdly simplistic view of life.
Anyway, its late for me. I'll let yall know how things go.
