Chronic depression

[mirrorshard]

From ewin - A note on depression.

Chronic depression does not kill merely through suicide; your body and mind also take a powerful hit every time it strikes. Depression is exhausting and painful. It shifts the balance of chemicals in the brain, and if it lasts long enough, it can cause damage to the brain, making that imbalance permanent. It's hard on the heart, the glands, the digestive system, it's hell on the immune system, bad for circulation.

The only reason I get out of bed in the morning is because I have to get the girls up for school; and sometimes I don't even manage that. Frequently I end up going back to bed for a few hours with Freda after David's gone to work.

I do better with regards to eating though - I have to make food for Freda during the day, so make enough for the both of us - and there's no way David and the girls would let me get away with not eating dinner.

I second David's request, BTW. :-)
