I had to get the friend housesitting for me while I was in Melbourne to upload my submission this week, as the upload function wasn't active when we left on our epic trek. Ugh, such a hassle ;P

Wow, you're really good at this, aren't you AC?
I'm not sure 'good' is the right word; have you heard this week's? ;P
I'm pretty happy with next weeks's, though...

I leave to drive to Melbourne tomorrow morning. I don't really want to have to log everything on just for that, but I guess I'll have to.
>.< curses, but I *cannot* drop out of club 52
I am *trying* to up-load next week's beating, since I'll be away next week from tomorrow and have created ahead, but ALAS, it's not letting me >.<
I had a decent week. Not my best, but solid
That was the point of the thread, right? ;P

Don't understand =[ Sorry.

No need for the pep talk, I've hardly been closed up like a hermit avoiding everything. I manage, I overcome, power through or ignore it as necessary to function. I just get concenred about the frequency of my down days, and how down they get.
I came to grips with it and got my diagnosis over a year ago and my doc taught me a few techniques which have certainly helped, but are losing effectiveness. Maybe I need to look in to medication, maybe I need to find new techniques for managing. The future will tell *mystic hands*
Ooooh yeah. Luckily, doing this project has helped raise my base level of 'throw shit together'. I just need to avoid the trap of leaning too hard on that and mix up my music a little more. 13's done, and I'm thinking of what to do for 14 (maybe even with 4 notes) that can be different and new for me
It could also be project fatigue. We are a quarter of the way in, after all.
Oh yeah, I am under no delusions about how 'fixable' this is. I'm stuck with it, as are most people who suffer from it. I'm just getting a little tired of losing days worth of productivity to being 'out of sorts', the constant self loathing and the semi-frequent, but crippling, social anxieties.
Cheery thread is now very cheery... and it's my fault >.< mwahahahahah
Indeed. I just don't see much 'fixing' going on when it's getting worse :-/ ah well, uni and WB keep me entertained and on track enough, I suppose
How's this?
I'm concerned that, by acknowledging my Depression and getting a diagnosis after around a decade of ignoring it, I have given it the space to fester and grow worse. I don't want to think about going on meds, but I face the possibility that I may have to to get through it.
First world enough? ;P
