Woke up after four or five days of crippling depression feeling extremely alert and agitated. Been doing a lot more things that I've been putting off (calling my therapists office for one) so that feels...productive, I guess, but I'm still very in a not happy mood. Energetic, sure, but the recent events in my family life have been causing all my racing thoughts to pick up a very negative dust during their whirl-wind around my head. Had an argument with my girlfriend over my productiveness, a topic that sent me nearly over the edge considering I have done so much today. She has been very overbearing at some times since we've moved in together. I simply told her I needed to walk away from the situation and get my head clear before we speak on it any more. I think that's helped, but she is a "LETS TALK IT OUT NOW" kind of person, and so she's taken to going back to bed and not speaking to me after all I wanted to do was use a technique I learned in the hospital where you just walk away for a second and come back clear headed to address the problem. We're trying to figure things out but sometimes I feel like a burden. Today, though, I feel annoyed. Very very annoyed. Distracted too. Hopefully my elevated mood turns around and i get to be a happy go lucky, energetic worker today. Otherwise, I hope I don't crack under the stress (a big trigger for me).
