Its not like me to be quiet !
Its Winter and the cold is getting to me...add to this circumstances beyond my control and you may find the carefree, happy go-lucky person you think you know begins to withdraw !
Its okay...trust me, its a temporary state of mind, much like the weather...it will pass.
The one thing I will say is this, be mindful...of your speech, your intentions and your direction in life, we don't all think or behave in the same way.
Some days, it pays to be quiet, not to react...but to wander off quietly and be alone, talking it through doesn't always help, some self imposed solitude can be as good as chicken soup !
There is much said about depression these days, but what is not said could fill many volumes of a book...the fog-like nature of it, the cloying, overwhelming intensity is difficult to translate into justifiable sentences, each of us deals with it in a different way...there is no quick fix or one size fits all.
Am I depressed ?....I don't know
It could be the weather, it could be a momentary lapse in concentration, but what ever it is, its not a welcome state of mind.
Again I must stress the fact that there is no cause for alarm...sometimes each of us just need some time out, being the fun one at the party has its downside...people expect the same person to show up each time...They don't !
Maybe society needs to expect less from each of us, sometimes your dog doesn't want a cuddle...sometimes society needs to take a moment to understand that each individual is just that...an individual and the needs of the many don't always fit the needs of the few.
Its been an interesting year so far, much has changed and no doubt much more will change yet...there appears to be a shift going on in a global sense...each of us are being challenged...tested if you will and yes only the strong will survive, cunning will only get you so far !
So I return to the things that give me joy...my husband, my girls...the odd day out exploring and obviously eating comfort food and I wait....I don't know how long it will take, I just know it will be different to how is was...so I expect the unexpected !
