It's been a while since I've been here. We've been very busy this summer.. this was sort of on purpose. I find that if I stay busy enough then I can keep depression at bay a little better. Still, in spite of the depression being mild at worst the past few months, I still lose time and can't recall things often. It's frustrating, but I just accept it and move on.

The school year has started again and, since I home school my kids, it is super stressful for me. I'm really hoping that I can manage ok this year.. This was our first week and I already have had 2 days that I had no time for anything but school work (because they moved so slow), one day that was rushed and hectic (our group had a zoo field trip), one day that I have myself off because my head was a mess, and now another crazy busy day where I have to get in some school work and cleaning and their music lessons. I feel like I'm cracking.

Yesterday I was down and totally out of it and locked myself in my room most of the day and today I'm goofy and nutty and calmer..

I quit therapy last spring. My T was not so great and it was just frustrating and expensive. I'm not sure when/if I'll get another.

so... anyway... hi.
