i’ve been pretty quiet, i know. and here is why:
Definition of depression. to be considered clinically depressed, you need to be feeling at least five of the following symptoms for about two weeks. that’s a lose guide.
– Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or anxiety
– Overreaction to irritations
– Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, including sex
– Sleep too much, or sleep too little
– Unexpected loss or gain of weight
– Tiredness or restlessness
– Slowed movement, thought and/or speech
– Guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness
– Inability to concentrate and poor memory
– Loss of motivation
– Feelings of hopelessness
– Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
– Withdrawal from relationships, anti-social behavior
– Physical aches and pains that seem to have no other cause
and i’ve been experiencing 8 of them, for more than two weeks. actually, since about july. adjusted some meds, and at first, i thought it might work. but it was temporary. i was probably just feeling better because i was doing something about it. that didn’t last. once i did not get a temporary xmas job IMMEDIATELY my spirits fell directly to the floor.
so poor little depressed jodi… what’s she going to do? increase her meds and she her shrink, that’s what. don’t worry… it’s just been especially bad the last few weeks. i’ll be ok.
title is a quote from “say anything” which is one of the best movies of all time as we all know.
here is a little xmas picture of me at about 3 to cheer you up, after all my depression talk. don’t i look EVIL? i do. bet i made the naughty list that year.

and maybe we need a picture of eddie izzard. because who can be uncheered when thinking of eddie izzard?

look! he’s a bunny!
