For those don't know, I suffer from chronic anxiety and depression. Anxiety is mostly under control right now... but I've just taken a nose dive back into depression. It seems as if the tiniest things can send me into it, and being at the conference and away from home for a week did it. So I'm caffinating, I'm spending more time than usual hanging around the proverbial water cooler with my lab-mates, and I'm schedualling a regular shaman appointment to help me keep honest about keeping on top of it.
It's hard to strike the balance between the necessary taking it slow that has to happen because I've got only a half-a-brain and the fact that I need to bring fun new things into my life or else I won't get the hell out of this.
