That was me in September; I'm kind of on the upswing now. My vacation really helped me.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am pretty sure that any therapeutic benefits of my vacation have faded by now. I am mostly more bitter that I am not still on vacation.
But yeah, you could count me in the "disconnected" camp.
A co-worker and I were just talking to each other about it, both feel out-of-sync. I know mac does and then another friend mentioned it also.
I've felt out-of-sync for a while now. But also stuck in a rut.
I think in my case it's a family trait of low-level depression, where our happiness level is somewhat below average (whatever that means - our perception of the norm, I guess), but steady. We don't get the major highs, but also not the crippling lows.
I've been in a rut all year long, but I think I'm finally getting past it. I've got my health decision made, my application in for school, and I'm finishing off my performance review self-evaluation today. The fact that I've stopped procrastinating on some things is making me feel much better about myself, to the point that I'm almost chipper!
Oh, I've been following the health care legislation debate - I know that's been depressing me too.
Count me in the disconnected crowd. Ever since I found out my office was closing I've been completely at sea.
Good luck Kathy!
A co-worker and I were just talking to each other about it, both feel out-of-sync. I know mac does and then another friend mentioned it also. Wondering if it is just the seasonal shift hitting us all hard this year or if just coincidence that were all a bit off with friends and associates/life.
I don't know if it's out of sync, but everyone at work seems to be in this strange low-energy place, even our boss. I am definitely struggling to get feel normal. I've been blaming it on this cold, which I can't entirely shake.
I feel up and down, I think. Maybe I'm still figuring out how to be a useful and functional adult.
Today is going to be a slow work day. Oy.
I've felt disconnected for a while now, but I lay the blame squarely on 70+ hour work weeks and not having time to socialize with anyone aside from a biweekly pop-in at my parents' and one phone call with my best friend on my birthday. Aside from that posting here late at night and yelling profanities at other drivers have been my only social outlets.
After eighteen months of out-of-syncness, I'm now finally feeling as if everything's falling into place. The fact that the book contract and house contract all fell into place in the same week I'm sure has a lot to do with it.
Now if I could just physically start feeling a LOT better, it would all be great. (Which I think will happen, now that mentally, I'm in a better place. Before, I was just sort of plodding along.)
