Well, this is the last real day of my vacation, although I have Saturday & Sunday ahead of me. I plan to do my usual Saturday stuff tomorrow and go to church on Sunday. The forecast is for rain both days.
I had a meeting with the Pastor at my church this morning. It went very well at first; but at the end I spoke about my depression, anxiety, and being introverted. I felt like at the end, he was not understanding about my depression and being introverted. He told me that depression comes and goes like a roller-coaster. I guess I have to agree with that. But with my introversion he didn't seem understanding at all. He just basically told me to just get out and push myself. One example is: I work out and he suggested the Gym for me. I prefer to workout at home. I've been to a Gym a few times and I didn't like it that much. Sometimes I feel like I'm sabotaging myself for working out at home instead of being at a Gym with other people. Also, the Pastor said that I seem like someone who does not care to be with people that much. And that making friends can be difficult for me because other people can pick up on that.
I took a walk after lunch at a pier along the ocean. The Pastor could have suggested that for me, so that I would get out and do something and do away with the depression. The walk on the pier was nice but I felt like the depression didn't go away with just doing that.
Sorry that this is so long.
