I've been in a bad place of late. By which I mean that I've been more depressed than I can ever recall being before. At 10, I was told that I had Bipolar Disorder and put on Prozac. Since then, the medication has varied some, but the results have been largely uniform: I've been calm and as happy as anybody else, all but entirely unaffected by the disorder. The last time I needed my meds adjusted, I was primarily sleep-deprived. This recent engulfing sadness has been rather more extreme, and likely has something to do with where I am in my life. That is to say, in a job which I don't enjoy, with a degree I'm not using, living at home where it's extremely easy to be lazy, waiting to hear from a school I'm no longer certain is the right place for me. Yeah. Just wanted to put that in words.
Adam has proven himself (unsuprisingly) a truly wonderful, steadfast friend. He's been there for me every spare second he's had, distracting me with humor, Mario Party,
Brawl (which is awesome, by the way), and Stargate SG-1. As you may know, SG-1 recently ended after 10 seasons (and the first of its two movies,
Ark of Truth was released Tuesday). Adam was into season 6 when I expressed interest. I am currently on season 4. I've watched a lot in a week. The distraction has helped. I've become enamored of the fanart of
Hito, an artist I discovered on
devantart. She's French, so I'm limited to enjoying her art and not her fics, which is disappointing.
Click on the image for a link to her website, then on "dessins" to find the art. I loves it.
Now I must eat and go to work.
