Depression is a Lying Bastard Fest
It has come to my attention that it is That Time of Year again for most people with SAD in the Northern Hemisphere, and that for many other folks Bad Things and/or Anniversaries seem to be piling up. At times like this, it is hard to remember that Depression is a Lying Bastard and that it *does* get better again.
So! A friend and I came up with the Depression is a Lying Bastard Fest. There are many ways to participate in comments below:
If this grows and becomes very popular, or if you have more ideas, feel free to spread the Depression is a Lying Bastard Fest to your own journal or comm! Also, I would love it if you linked back here so that we got more participants. ^_^
So! A friend and I came up with the Depression is a Lying Bastard Fest. There are many ways to participate in comments below:
- a gratitude list (because there are still good things in the world) or a list of good things
- something you are proud of (a la the Monday Pride thread)
- a funny poem (limmericks work well here)
- cute things! animals, babies, whatever floats your boat!
- anti-winter and/or anti-depression manifestos! This can be in the form of a poem or a simple declaration of "Fuck you, brain weasels, and your lying ways! I will not believe your lies!"

• there are only 24 days until the solstice and then the days grow longer again. yay, that sounds soon!
• I just found a wee stack of postcards (not from anyone but souvenirs of some past trips I went on) while looking for something else. yay memories of good things! I am gonna put them up around my desk. and one of them reminds me there is a webcam near that same place (link) so I am gonna add that on my ipad. windows into goodness!
• this mango jam I am having on toast is delicious (and mango anything reminds me of warm weather and sunshine)
• I just saw a steller's jay at my feeder and i just love their blue colour
• the way my ex-roommate who lives in another town now came all the way here just for my birthday dinner, and that she and her daughter stayed with our neighbours (because I love that they all became friends)
