I am not always very optimistic. In fact, I can get overwhelmed from time to time, and that sadness comes creeping back in. But I fight it tooth and nail, every day.
And, well, things are starting to look slightly better. I have a plane ticket, I'm packing by bags, and I'm headed to the East Coast for an indefinite amount of time. I feel nervous... but I have a reason to have some hope.
Depression is a manageable disability. It's requirements are far greater than people can comprehend. It causes you to constantly monitor yourself. You become your own helicopter parent.
And I'm glad I have a chance to do something new. It's going to be an interesting time ahead of me.
Don't worry. I'll be posting from time to time. I'm glad you liked my story.
