I have been checking into Psych Central infrequently.

Today I checked in and found I had depressing personal messages.

I did not think I was in a bad mood but after being on Psych Central I felt my mood dip.

Here are some other triggers I have recently identified:

1) Any kind of chocolate.
2) Know-It-All type people. It seems the Internet has made "experts" out of everyone...
3) When I don't dream. I read that dreaming equals good REM sleep. So not dreaming is a trigger...
4) Isolating. Which is most of my life. I think it is a constant trigger for depression.
5) My present apartment. I moved 12 weeks ago and this apartment is a big mistake. This has happened before in my life. I just have to spend the whole year breathlessly waiting until my lease has expired and I can move. In the meantime it would be good to spend much less time here.
6) Traffic.
7) Dieting. I realize I can't strenuously diet while depressed, but I can eat healthy.
8) Any type or amount of alcohol. It is huge no-no.
