Today I got up and took my dog for a walk. I've been inside a lot lately, and the air felt soft and intoxicating. I had been feeling really guilty about all the time my dog is spending indoors because of me and my depression. The guilt has eased up a little.
I wish I could put my finger on something that would determine what causes me to have depressions like this, so that I could change it and be sure it never, ever happens again.
Don't we all?

Great! Here the weather has been so lovely, but the daylight so short, and I wish I were out more during the day. The waning sunlight hours could be having an effect on mood, too.

Dear Cass:
I am so happy to hear that you are feeling a little better today. I find that when I am not feeling great that I have a hard time posting, but I do read daily and have been following your recent "down time" and I'm sending positive thoughts your way. For me when I'm down, there is nothing better than being with my cat (or dog). Unconditional love, it's a cool thing. Thank god I don't have to walk my cat. I did have a neighbor once who used to walk hers around the neighbor on a leash and also fed her liver from a crystal bowl (yuk).
fondly,
dari

Cass,
I'm so glad to hear you got up and out with your dog. I think change of place can really help, even if it is only for a short time. Sometimes I feel like my house has a haze of depression in it (but much less so now that I live alone). So if I can get out, it helps. Sometimes I open all my windows and let new, fresh air come in.Oh, our wonderful eccentricities.
Thanks for sticking it out, glad you are here.

Today I went out with my dog again. I'm still feeling somewhat oppressed by grief, but I am feeling better, more alert and more responsive. It's nice. Thanks for your concern and support.
