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!"

Hallelujah. I know in so many of my science labs, nonsensical data was always such a frustration. It'd drive me nuts on any kind of a larger scale. So, yay for your data behaving itself!
Awesome about the PhD responses - and everything else, too! :-)
And something I'm proud of: I've started putting together a small notebook of lovely things people have said to me, and poems that make me feel safe and loved. It is wonderful, and really really helpful.
That's a wonderful idea. I've got the beginnings of one, the letters that people wrote in support of my most recent immigration application. Your idea is brilliant - I should really add to it regularly!
