I think I might be depressed again.

Hmm, not sure yet? Well that is depressing.

Well, it's hard to describe... it's like my brain is frayed. A lack of resilience, basically; things happen, and I can't focus on anything. And I don't have that feeling very often when I'm not depressed, but I've felt that way a few times this month. I could be overreacting -- I've had an exhausting couple of weeks, so it could go away when I get some rest or something.

On a more tangible note, I'm staying home a lot more nights lately. That's never a good sign -- when I can't muster the initiative to leave the house.

And to be honest, depression is not generally a serious problem for me... it's usually a thing where I'm in a bad mood for a month or two, and not much gets done, and then it goes away. But the last time it happened, it lasted from February 2005 to fall 2006. So I don't want to fall into that again...

Granted, it's unlikely to be that bad for two or three reasons. My life is going pretty well at the moment; I've identified and taken steps to prevent the anxiety-related issues that contributed to my depression in the past; etc. But I'm a bit worried. (Because I have every right to be worried? Or because I'm depressed? Who knows?)

Yeah, I think I've recovered. So that's good!
