Mr. Depression-The Ups and Downs

Hi Robert,

That is the natural cycle of life: we're not always up, or always down.  Hopefully after a low mood we can bring ourselves up, for some of us it will take longer to do so.

There are certains days I will stay in bed until eleven o'clock in the morning, by the way.  Mostly on the weekends when I want or need a free day to do nothing.

P.S. _ Sometimes I would rather stay in bed than go to work.

Cheers,

Christina

I am that way, too.  Some mornings I lie there letting the time crawl by w/o getting out of bed and it feels very decadent and dissolute.  I enjoy it.  And since I don't work, I am free to do so.  But I try not to make a habit of it.  Sometimes, apathy becomes a solution, as Morgan Freeman said in "Seven."  I don't want it to be my solution.

But then other days (more rarely) I wake up feeling fabulous, as if I were well-equipped to accomplish anything I set my will to.  And maybe I am...on those days.  That is when I do my grocery shopping, go to movies, visit friends, wash clothes, go to the bank, etc.  It seems that I never run out of energy...on those days.  I wish there were more of them but that is something over which I have no control.
