March 6 @ 2:51 pmYou know, I get these dark moods occasionally… I don’t really know why. Could be biochemical, or related to the phase of the moon or maybe light deprivation living in Seattle as I do. When it happens, it’s like the weight of the world is pressing down on me. I get anxious and obsessive about all kinds of little things, but at the same time I lack the energy or drive to do anything about it.
The truth is that nothing is really wrong, the only thing that has changed is the filter I use to view the world around me. I find that if I just make progress at little things, soon enough it passes and things are back to “normal”… whatever that is around here. I think the thing that helps the most is just feeling like I can influence the things that are bothering me, no matter how tiny that change might be.
It also helps that the sun is out in Seattle today… a little warmth and light in your life never hurts.

There’s actually a illness about sun depravation…cant remember what they call it, but it gives you the dulldrums…
I get these moods too. usually a good book and some “me” time helps.

Been there, still visit occasionally. I go to the gym and work ’till I can’t think straight anymore. Usually takes about tn minutes and lasts several hours.

It was beautiful out today. I’m thinking it’s Spring fever.

I get that way sometimes too…only I generally get disgusted and bitter about my job and where I am in life (because it’s certainly NOT where I thought I’d be)…but then it passes and I realize how lucky I am to have the people and things in my life that I have, you know?
Anyway, hope you get to feeling better…;)

I tend to have my cycle at the end of December through January, lasting anywhere between 14-21 days.

Still no Hogs review. Hea, it just might be the ticket out of your dark mood there. You know you want to see it. I’ve already exchanged views with a national movie critic on this flick. I need your opinion to back me up.

Filters. Perfectly said.
