Updatingness
Jan. 27th, 2006 01:27 pmI see that I have once again been falling off in updating my LJ. Note to self: when depressed, talking to people helps. Isolating myself does not.
However, at the minute I actually feel fairly fine. This would be the calm after the storm - since last I updated, broken-ness has finally occurred and I have quit work for the foreseeable future. It's only taken five years to work out that stressful, shit jobs (mainly in call-centres) that I don't enjoy and are ever so slightly below my capacity aren't good for my mental health...
Anyone as doesn't know my life story, I'll spare you the hand-staple-forehead routine. Suffice to say that while having an attitude of "must cope at any cost" may not be the worst survival tactic, it's not the best either. I really need to stop and recover for a while.
Plans include: tidying the house so that we can have visitors (I don't think I can exaggerate the unsanitary mess that two people failing to cope with depression can make of a small space), reading a lot, getting back into cooking and as much wandering and visiting as my straitened finances will allow.
More updates to follow.
