Measuring swings

[jace]

What is depression? What causes it? Why am I so worked up? Why can’t I see an obvious way out of this

Perhaps, though, all this can be a bit liberating.

If you define yourself by how you react in a familiar situation, then perhaps something unfamiliar can allow you the rare opportunity to be step out of your ordinary boundaries, and perhaps redefine yourself in a manner ideal for your current situation.

When I'm stuck in a rut, I like to take the time to go out and behave like a tourist, even near home. Sight-seeing. Meeting people I wouldn't ordinarily know. Checking out new things that are usually outside of my typical realm that I might otherwise ignore. Relish the unfamiliar as an opportunity, not a challenge.

Confuse-a-cat!

The last time I met you around the bend of my office, you said you were in the neighbourhood. Are you back from your trip?

I'm still in the neighbourhood. In Bangalore now.

Rather a similar frame of mind to that which latelyontime told me on a chat; being articulate about it might certainly help you to move on.

I hung out with him this evening and he seemed in a great mood. Was very pleased with how things are turning out for him now.

know what's worse?

That people you hang out with would grow away from you or vice versa. They're right in front of you, you're with them and they're with you, but its not the same and you have no idea when it became different or what did.

At least , for you, there are new people, nice people. And not old ones who somehow ceased to be, because you grew up , or they did.

I am in such similar boat once a while, but I try to do smthing different then routine to keep me motivated. You gotta do the same. Try it out. It works. :)
