Can I really take the weekend off?

September 6, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I don’t know about this. Taking two days to spend with family visiting from out of town? Not going to my day job because I requested off. Not going into my home office and writing? Not worrying about mowing the south 40, or edging around the porch with the weed eater? How is that even possible to not think, worry, obsess, or be anxious about taking care of these … [Read more...] about Can I really take the weekend off?

I got up this morning, the rest will be easy

September 2, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 1 Comment

The past 48 hours have been rough. Or at least that is how I framed it in my head. What really happened was my boss had me work three earlier shifts leading up to the holiday. Although I am more of a morning person, my body was getting used to the closing shifts. Getting home around midnight was not the worst thing in the world.

This helps me feel more confident as I drive. But in heavy traffic, I can make it work. As we got to a traffic light, I really looked at … [Read more...] about Can you see the obvious?

What do you know, it really is not about me?

August 28, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 1 Comment

I get so caught up in myself. An unhelpful thought pops into my head and the next thing I know, I am off living in the future. I had been concerned about having my work email on my phone. Finding excuses and reasons why I could not get it set up gave me control over my relationship with work. This past weekend, I was working with a customer and decided to add the work … [Read more...] about What do you know, it really is not about me?

My new idea in my relationship with depression

August 26, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 2 Comments

Recently, I was up against the wall. 100 or so days ago, I was sure that I had no way forward; I could not even see that there was a way. It was pitch black, or worse, colorless, and my life was emotionless, too. I was going through the motions, not appreciating or enjoying anything. Just before I checked into the hospital, I was forcing myself to eat. I dropped 12 … [Read more...] about My new idea in my relationship with depression
