I should probably post more often than I do...
... the problem with that observation is that updating my LJ counts as socialising. And I don't socialise well when I'm depressed*.
In fact, this is now February and I haven't yet posted my New Year's intentions, which basically consist of:
- Cooking more often, instead of living on toast. I like cooking, I like variety in what I eat and it's relaxing. Why avoid it? (Now if I could answer that question, I'd be that much closer to establishing a more workable relationship with the depression).
- Further to the above, generally trying not to actively avoid doing things I enjoy (cooking, reading, swimming).
- More online communication. It is threatening and frightens me but not nearly so much so as the real-life version. The question of whether or not such interaction is actually good for me and/or necessary is a question to tackle another day.
- Get my posterior into gear and post some photos.
Having intentions rather than resolutions is something I do to avoid the inevitable self-criticism if they can't be attained. It's been fairly successful over the years, so here's to 2007.
*This is understatement for comic effect.
