Okay, I have a question for y'all.
Lyla suggested that I might be clinically depressed. I've seen counselors before and they usually help. But this time, I know what the problem is, and I'm not even sure I have time to go see a counselor. So it's not like I want someone impartial to talk to. In fact, I think that would be sort of silly. (What do I say? Yeah, I know what the problem is, there's no easy cure, here's your $50? What would the counselor say? Yeah, you're adjusting, give it time, have a nice day?) So what do I do? What are my alternatives, for keeping myself from being depressed? I'm pretty good at tricking myself into feeling whatever I want myself to feel, but my tricks are starting to fail.
So far, I've got:
* chocolate
* not sleeping too much
* making a point of getting excited over the stupid little things in life
Did you know that sleep deprivation can actually lift your spirits? Isn't that weird?
Also, I just wanted to add a complaint that IT'S COLD HERE.
