Woke up this morning and made amends with Jane to start the day. Much better way to begin a new day. We talked more rationally through what was bothering us both.
Went for a lazy cruise around the bays on the bike with both the girls, Alex has a Triathlon tomorrow morning in a team. She's the big bad cyclist, just like her dad :-)
Bumped into Shaun Kav as he was out running. He looks charged for a good season and new adventures in life next year. Great guy and good to see him so I could congratulate him on his 2nd at World Triathlon Champs in Beijing last month. But we'll be taking him down at Taupo Half in December!!!
Feeling much more refreshed and that cloud of despair from last night. I do find that I don't hang it that area for days upon days that I was, but I do notice that I have the tendency to get more frustrated/grumpy on this medication, so I am hanging out for the Doc to call me.
Anyone who recognizes they have depression and hasn't sought medical advice from their GP, they really should. Things go away so much faster, they don't drag along for days or weeks at a time, but they are dealt with and you move on so much sooner. I never knew that whatever issues I had, did not need to affect me for weeks at a time. I remember being all happy, bouncing along and one silly argument really put me in a hole for the next week. This was nearly a year ago, not long after I started my new job, life fore me was getting better, family life was becoming more fun, then gloom for a week. It affected my work, I dreaded going home the next few days, in fear of a reoccurring argument, me losing my control and getting really angry. I still have the same fears, but they don't paralyze me like they did.
