I have a favour to ask, but it's going to take some explaining...

I am in a REALLY good mood. Dunno how long this one's going to last but it's been a few days and I'm eating more and getting up before noon of my own free will, and sad music doesn't make me want to tear my hair out, and I dealt with some past relationship stuff that didn't make me want to crawl into a corner and curl up into a ball ... It's really weird. I was just sitting here and all of a sudden I realized I was smiling for absolutely no reason!

I still have slumps. But I don't seem to be able to remember my slumps when I'm in a good mood any more than I can remember what it's like to feel good when I'm low. It's like no matter what I'm feeling, I have no real memory of what it's like to feel anything else. So I'm not sure how bad my slumps are, although looking over past posts and journal entries, I think they kind of suck (understatement of the year). So I was wondering, when my next slump hits (hopefully not for a while!!) if someone remembers this post, could you remind me that I AM capable of feeling good, that I actually POSTED about feeling good, and that my slumps do end ... I'd be eternally grateful. Because I'm going to forget and I'm trying to prepare myself now. Maybe, if I'm prepared, if I have PROOF that it won't last forever, I'll be able to fight the depression off a little better next time it comes around.

Thanks, all. I know a lot of you are going through some really rough patches right now but I can say it with certainty now, it does end! It does!
