drusillas_rain at 12:15pm on 14/02/2006 I've been feeling rather down lately. The new year started off relatively well, I was excited to get back in the swing of things, not just fic-wise, but at home too. I spent the latter half of 2005 travelling a lot for work, and was feeling burnt out. This term, I'm staying in Toronto, and in January things were looking up.
It's only February, but I'm already feeling stressed out. I haven't written a thing in weeks, and am finding even 100-word drabbles take so much energy. Last night I was going to try to be a bit productive and go grocery shopping, but instead I spent the night watching 1 episode of "My Name is Earl", 1 ep of "Veronica Marrs" (I've just discovered the show so I'm halfway through season 1), and 3 eps of "CSI" (season 4 eps). I have to admit, it felt great at the time, but now I'm feeling guilty, thinking that I really should have done something/anything else.
I'm having a hard time focusing on work, and anytime I think about doing something, even as simple as having a bubble bath, I feel like I'm going to get a panic attack. I'm not prone to them, but am prone to depression and just can't seem to shake off whatever it is I'm going through. I've been taking 5-htp on and off, but it isn't fixing whatever the fuck is wrong with me.
What do you do to cheer yourself up?
