You’ve very eloquently put into words why Seasonal Affective Disorder is so hard for people. While I don’t, personally, suffer from it, your other descriptions of fighting off the junk food that the body screams for really hit home for me.

As did other parts of the post. I suffer from major depression and have my whole life, and so many of your words ring true.

And, while I’m on the subject of food-I’d love to hear your recipe for oatmeal bread. :)

and what if instead everything turns out okay? what if it is much better than you think? gotta keep open to that possibility too… :-)

this is a beautifully evocative post, full of pain and fragility, but also of great tenderness and sensitivity.

nice meeting you, miserablebliss. hang in there. don’t give up hope. things change when we least expect it. word.

For me, one of the toughest things to do is accept pain. I fight it off even when I tell myself I don’t want to.

Be gentle with yourself.

ps: I found an old card from you the other day and it made me smile!

For me the analogy is riding a dirt bike (motorcycle) up a hill. You get stuck in a rut and you have two choices – Ride the rut to the end where there’s usually some nasty rock filled hole ready to grab your front wheel and take you down. Try to pop yourself out of the rut without stalling the engine and/or having the bike roll back on top of you.
