For the first time since I started my AD on 8/6, I was able to change my mood in the upper right corner to happy! Yesterday I worked very hard at preparing for a family BBQ, and it was so heartwarming to see the people who love me the most in the world. Plus, because of it all, my sleep was SO much better last night. And in spite of all the stress and physical acctivity, I'm not in a fibromyalgia flare today.

I have learned that while my depression may be biochemical, that's only part of it. Taking action and feeling I've done my best, plus keeping in touch with loved ones IN PERSON can help so much when I have depressive issues. It leads me to believe a lot of my depression is circumstantial, and there are some things I have to wait for right now.

No downs at all today. I skype with my T at 9:00 and have a board meeting at noon.
