If I didn't have the new job I would still be day sleeping and that's a fact. I have been battling severe depression and suicidal ideation. The job is fast paced and during working hours I can't think about personal stuff. The job is certainly not ideal (see my recent post about getting injured on the job today) but all the drama (and today my crushed finger) is keeping my mind occupied and things are shifting in a very subtle way. Having said all this and believing with my whole heart that a day job or some type of responsibility is essential for mental health....I look back fondly on night owldomness (is that a word, OMG to me it is) -------- even depression is somehow a strange and safe cocoon. But just because I am nostalgic about it I know it is not the place I need to be right now. It is good to know when one needs to be in a cocoon...and when one needs to break out. Birth is painful. So go the full period of gestation before pushing through to a new birth. We need to be kind to ourselves.
