There Are Days When It’s OK

June 26, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Today is OK, I have a balanced life.

Not grand, or super, but OK certainly. And I am enjoying that. I keep reminding myself that my goal is a balanced life with depression.

Today, everything seems in balance. I got in around 1 AM from work. Decompressing rather quickly, I was in bed by 1:30 AM.

I didn’t stress about sleeping in until 9 AM.

After a few late nights, I need that time to rest. So, at 7:00 Am, I had rolled over and stayed in bed a little longer. And this was no big deal. It didn’t cause me to think I was slipping into the abyss or circling the drain. It was my body needing more rest this morning.

I must be ready to leave for my day job by 12:30 PM today.

There is my vegetable garden to weed and plants to water. My plan is to get out in the yard for a while before getting ready for work. Forgive me for not spending more time writing this morning, but with things in balance, I must move on to some self-care.

And being outside, enjoying the sun and our property, is some of the best self-care I know.

My concealed depression is written under the alias “Depression is not my boss.” I have certifications in SMART Recovery and am a Global Career Development Facilitator.

Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder last year, I am sharing what I learn. If you know someone who might benefit from reading this, please share. 

I very much appreciate your comments.
