Good morning! Ah, yes, an extra half hour would make you feel better! I am having a hard time with sleep, lately. It's not that I can't sleep...it's that I feel I have too much to do to waste time sleeping... as in I am going to SLEEP for a LONG time soon....
But everyone needs REST, and I am glad that you are getting alittle extra. The sun is coming up and the sky is BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy your day Gary!

Well, the problem with me when I have so much to do, is that I get depressed and don't have the energy or desire to do anything. I suspect that I may be entering one of those times. It's harder to get out of bed and I find that I don't have the desire to do even those things that I usually enjoy doing. I'd blame it on the coming winter, but I know that is only part of the problem.

Ah well, enough of this! On with the day.

Ditto!

That is exactly what I'm experiencing.
It may very well be the changing of the seasons and/or a contributor to it, as you said.

I refuse to age gracefully, so I fight it constantly....haha
That alone can wear a person out...;-)

I would be worried had I not gone through this slump before, but, sadly I have, and thank goodness it DOES pass dearone. Let's pray for both our sakes, it happens sooner, rather than later...:-)

Hi Jo and anyone else who is reading ;),

I totally agree with you on getting through this sooner rather than later! And yes, this has happened to me many times in my life. I've gone to a counsellor, and been on medication, but it just keeps on coming back.

Now, I wouldn't want you to think that this is severe depression. In my case, it is somewhat less than that. I can manage to do the things I absolutely need to do, such as get up and go to work. It's those optional and semi-optional things that I have trouble doing.

I have hopes that writing about it all in here will be helpful to me in some way. Thanks for sharing with me.

As do I, my friend.
That is basically why I decided to get this journal....I used to keep one years ago...ended up burning it without even reading through it. Was too painful at the time...think it did me a world of good to watch it go up into flames, however...haha
I hope I don't have to torch my puter though...*smiling*
