I was doing ok up until recently. I've been on meds for depression since 2004. It almost never comes up or is a problem in any way. But just in the last few days I feel like my depression symptoms are back. I've been taking an extra 1/2 tablet of my med in the afternoon when the symptoms feel like too much; I've also been taking CBD. Good thing I'm going to the doc tomorrow for something else so I can talk to her about this, too. I think what's bothering me is that so much of what's happening doesn't make any sense. I'm a health policy and research person - I read the studies about the virus stuff and the economic and health consequences of the shut down. People's lives are being ruined and there's no justification for this. It feels like people have little control over what's happening...

I need to get more exercise, listen to music, maybe do yoga or meditation. And I have lots of work to do (I'm working on my dissertation, starting a podcast and blogging, and I have a few other irons in the fire). It's hard to do any of that when I feel depressed.
