Hi mechjock.

I have a depression distraction plan. It is a list of things that distracts my mind from my depression. I think about things,events, or people that make me happy. I think about getting praise from someone I admire. I think about being a hero, I write letters to the people I am mad, sad, happy, angry at,etc.

I hope we aren't a trigger for you. Sometimes talking about how we feel and listening to others can sometimes can make you turn it inward and become anxious or depressed. It helps me to listen and talk but some people it seems to trigger emotions in them.

Mech, it sounds like you might be cycling into depression. It happens. I can't remember what meds you are on or how long you've been on them. Maybe you need to give them some more time. I have a tendency to stay on the depressed side of stable. So I know how you feel. Hang in there.

Hey the usual one Mech. Ring you pdoc tell him how you are. He may recommend a change in meds or another one to take care of the depression.

I can uderstant how you feel re your work etc. Not nice knowing you are having work problems and not being well enough to cope with it.

All the best,
