I want to write about how my efforts to transform my room have really paid off and how the room feels like a positive environment now. Or I want to write about what a fantastic film 35 Shots of Rum was (see it if you get the chance).
But I can't. It is one of the days when I'm overcome with a sense of apathy or mental lethargy which just stops me from functioning at all. Fuck I hate days like this.
The physical effects of depression are a complete bitch, excuse my language. I know this probably sounds like a case of attacking a tank with a tennis racket but have you tried anything as simple as a decent multivitamin? When I started taking a B complex my mood and energy levels increased hugely. One of the main symptoms of many vitamin and mineral deficiencies is depression and lack of energy. That's not to say it's all physiological, I don't want to downplay things, but when people are depressed they tend to stop eating balanced diets and sleeping at normal times and start relying on caffeine, smoking or alcohol - and all of those things can make the problems a hundred times worse. Bet you're wishing I would stay in Dorset next week, after all this commenting, right? Well tough, I'm really looking forward to seeing you :P x
