I’ve never suffered from any chronic depression, but, several bouts of situational depression.
As some of you know, I lost it all in this recession a few years ago and it has been very difficult and remains so.
This last few weeks has been rough. I was gone house sitting for 2 weeks, returned happy and relaxed to my moody housemate here, which brought me down.
I have been used to living alone for years and when she is in this mood she can be emotionally volatile, prone to PMS outbursts, defensive, argumentative and, in general moody. It really can bring me down and piss me off along with the stressors I am already coping with.
She then kisses my ass, gives me gifts and writes me contrite apology notes that she leaves in my bathroom. haha
I am finally, returning to some equilibrium this week.
I am not used to dealing with other peoples emotional issues and inspite of a lot of personal growth work I have done, it is easier said than done trying to detatch from the negative emotions of another that is in close proximity to you. I really need my own space again but am not able to afford it and it really sucks.
