It's amazing how one small minuscule problem leads to a full blown depression. An unsuccessful trip to the bike store to fix my flat tire turned into a crying fit. But it's not the bike. It's the fact that nothing seems to be going right and I can't even enjoy the one hobby that keeps me sane - running. It has given me something to look forward to at the end of the day, but I don't know when I'll be able to run pain free again. So I took up cycling which provided a similar escape until my tire blew out and the store didn't have the part I needed. But I think this has been building up. I've been feeling restless recently - nowhere to channel my nervous energy. I've been feeling stuck, unhappy, looking back at choices I've made with nothing but regret. That's depression and explaining to someone who's never experienced it that something as silly as a flat tire set me off is pointless because they won't understand.

Depression is horrible anichka but excersize is a great way to fight it and you should give yourself a huge amount of credit for having a setback with the running and finding an alternative solution in bicycling. The tire problem is temporary, I know it is hard but try to hang in there until the tire can be fixed and you can resume your riding routine again and hopefully it will be positive again.

I don't know about your running situation but I hope with some healing or treatment you will be able to run again too.

OMG this was also a perfect subject/title for your post. Keep your creative juices flowing while you are battling this depression... I like the way you think creatively even if the depression has you in its grip.

Thank you for your kind words. I never considered myself creative so I was a bit shocked that I picked up on the symbolism. Lol
