Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
As most of you probably know, 2010 has been something of a rough year for me. Hell, to be blunt about it, things just kinda kept going wrong and didn't really give me a break, but hey, I'm a plucky and industrious fox, so I was able to bear with it.
By the time midsummer rolled around, though, I think I'd finally run out of whatever perspicacity let me stay above water. Since probably July or so, I'd been really down and depressed.
The thing is, I didn't even notice I'd gotten that way until I'd finally pulled myself out of that mindspace. I think RainFurrest was the turning point, the event that set my switches back to 'Happy and Upbeat' instead of 'Sad and Dejected'. It's really only in the contrast of how I've been feeling over the past few weeks that I had any indication of just how down I'd really been over the past few months.
I'd say I was depressed, but I don't know that I was depressed in a clinical sense. Maybe it'd be more accurate to say I was in a depressive funk or something.
At any rate, I realize in retrospect that I'd become really emotionally distant from a lot of my friends, and now that things are looking up again, I'm working on fixing that. I hope nobody thinks I was being some unfriendly jerk or anything.
Thanks, by the way, to all the folks who helped to keep me cheered up lately. You guys are awesome (and probably know who you are).
