I don't think I suffer from "depression" in its full force form.  I know I definitely can "go down" for the count for a couple of days. Get nothing done, drag around, don't write in my blog, that sort of thing.  What I hate about it,  or perhaps me, is that an influx of money will usually bounce me out of it:  relieve the stress and I can normally get a grip again.   So, is it depression,  not sure, maybe if depression and being totally overwhelmed on how to get situations under control are the same thing.

For me it centered around a house I own that I thought I had leased till next March, then the beginning of June,  the girl  just left.  I decided to sell it,  the realtor was all,  rah rah,  three months later, 2 viewings,  two months behind on its rent,  not so rah rah anymore,  now she's I don't know maybe we should do a short sale.  Ah,  no....

So, I am lucky a great couple from Chicago saw it and rented it just from the photos.  Will they buy,  maybe, maybe not,  but for now, I have my head out of my ass and above water again!!

It is amazing to me,  how quickly as people we can go from way high to way low:  is that normal?  I think for those of us who are more of a creative nature we are more susceptible to mood swings cause we normally leave our selves open, or perhaps with less back up.  Not making those regular deposits into our saving accounts: out running our dogs at agility instead  or buying up on pastels for our art work.

So, all those corny sayings hold true: this too shall pass, light at the end of the tunnel, one foot in front of the other:

Being human is really the high and low of my life: being me is the other part of it:

But I think the best saying that can really help is "know thyself"

of course there's Buckeroo Bonzai:  " no matter where you go,  there you are!"

but on those aghh days,  my mind wanders to Frankenfurter of Rocky Horror:

"It's not easy having a good time: Even smiling makes my face ache!"
