Depression

That feeling that you're about to burst into tears for no obvious reason? Not good.

I think I'd be able to cope much better if there was a reason for it...

Have a *huge hug* for no reason!

Wait... that post is a reason... Hell with it, have one anyway! Have a cute puppy icon too! ;-p

Thanks. Hugs are always good, reason or no. *hugs back*

Cute puppies are also a Good Thing. :-)

~hugs~

The thing to remember with depression is that it is an illness that can strike without warning and often with no obvious cause. It's not something that you have done or that you can 'snap out of'. You've just got to ride it out, knowing that you *will* feel better eventually. If it persists for any length of time or happens frequently then go and see your doctor for advice.

I suffer from SAD at this time of year due to lack of light, and I find that a Lumie light helps on dark evenings/gloomy days. Going out for a walk whenever there is a sunny day can help too. Maybe that might help you?
