Combating Depression With A Needle And Thread: Sew-rapy!

Sep 11, 2007 22:17

Okay so lately (especially today) I've been battling depression and anxiety.  A great deal of it has to do with our current financial situation, which just seems endless.  And some of it has to do with waiting on this job contract from England for Klaus and how it is seemingly staying just out of our reach.  Recently I've noticed that when I get depressed I start eating, non-healthily of course. I never was an emotional eater but it seems that I am becoming one fast.  So today I made a conscious decision not to eat my anxiety away.  Instead I forced myself to start one of the countless sewing projects I have piling up on my desk.  Surprisingly I'm almost done with a 1954 inspired dress. In one day! I'm floored. I suppose it is more productive to focus your energy/aggression/depression into something useful! Pictures coming soon.
