Yeah, I know my posting has been sparse today. Between work, depression, and other stuff, posting on LJ just wasn't a priority.

I'm relatively certain I'm coming down with something -- I've got a few vague flu-like symptoms, etc. I suspect it may well be fatigue-related, as I've been getting about four hours of sleep a night (I think I've hit the stage in life where I need six). I'll be popping a couple of advils in a bit.

I've decided that I'm definitely going to be seeking some therapy if the depression continues. I'm pretty sure that what I have is externally-sourced (and thus, I hope, treatable with therapy), but I also want to deal with it. The last time I did serious therapy (back in 1994) it was a very good thing, and damned near saved my life.

shadesong's out for the evening, which has given me the chance to catch up on Arli$$ rerurns. I really don't remember them getting as many notable non-athlete guest stars in previous years (John Glover, Glenn Frey, etc). I really think it's HBO's most underrated show.

And I remembered to add Season Four of the Sopranos to the Tivo Season Pass manager, of course.

Emory seemed pretty indifferent to te whole 9-11 thing. I saw a few pins and t-shirts, but nothing much. No co-workers did anything that struck me as annoying about the whole thing, either. I did have to deal with some of the student announcements and the like dealing with commemorating the event. I won't pretend that it doesn't affect me a little bit -- when you grow up seeing the towers for twenty-two years, the loss of them is had to ignore -- but I'm not sure how much it's really affected me.

Oh, and damnation_alley is up to nine members! Woohoo!

Anyway, off to take Advil, then to watch Tivo until I crash.

Good for you, with the therapy! Big step, potentially scary, but you've been there (hadn't realized that). I'm here for ya if you need me.

Hugs.

I think you should consider therapy even if the depression clears up soon, just because all these goings-on have undoubtedly messed with your head. To put it in technical terms, y'know. ;p

Now I just need to encourage myself to contact the two 'outside' (off-campus) therapists that I was recommended to. (Stanford only treats people in-house for 10 sessions; after that they cut you loose or refer you to a therapist 'in the communty.'

Oh, I'm planning on it. I just need to figure out what mess I need to swim through with the health care insurance thing.

Flu like syptoms? Maybe it's a tumor!

Just keep feeding me excuses to deliver the straight line and everything will be fine :)

I never got into Arli$$, but the Sopranos premier is a big deal in our house.
