I write blog posts in my head CONSTANTLY. You wouldn’t know that by reading my blog lately. There is a big difference between lying in bed and composing entries and actually typing them out, however.
So many things I “write” nowadays need to be prefaced by a certain fact. I’ve tried several times to sit down and actually compose a for reals post about it, but never actually completed anything I liked. As time went on, the need to share all the little details became less important. And now, at this point, I just want to post something about it, so I can move on and talk about all the other things in my life that are affected by it.
So, here it is. Last year my depression came back. That’s why I disappeared over the winter. And spring. I tried to deal with it without medication. I failed. I finally decided to go back on meds, a new one, in February. I fell better now.
o jodi. you have such a way with the typos, or the not typos: “I fell better now.”
also: I share your head thing. The writing in the head and not on the paper or the screen thing.
I fell better now.
I’m sorry you had to deal with that depression rearing its ugly head again…I know how hard that is.
I’m glad you are feeling better too. 🙂
I’m glad you’ve posted some more, and I hear what you’re saying. I feel like the late night pieces I compose in my head are usually way funnier than anything permanent. Or at least it seems that way, but by the time I get around to actually typing them I’ve lost all gumption and just let them go.
And I feel for you. I never did find any medication that worked, but somehow (the good) life goes on.
Well, when we’re lucky enough to get a blog post, they’re always great! I should comment more to make your blogging feel appreciated, which it is.
Hope you’re geeling better – all the best.
Just know that you are not alone in your struggles. Glad to see you posting again. 🙂
You should have told us sooner. Then we could have sent hugs and savory snacks.
OMG I write blogs in my head ALL DAY. And in the past year, since the advent of major life upheaveal, I’ve barely been writing at all. I feel so guilty. Guilty guilty guilty. Glad I’m not the only one!
