Confessions - aren't they good for the soul???

Okay, I've been a very, very bad blogger.  I am sorry for that.  There have been some things going on and I think I am only just beginning to get my head wrapped around them.

The class I took this summer on Stress really freaked me out!  I had no idea I had been operating under so much stress.  We took a stress survey and my scores were almost off the charts!  It scared me.

Then, as I read more, and listened to lectures in class, a part of my brain started to whisper quietly to me.  It probably would have been shouting, but the rest of me wasn't ready to listen yet.

I have come to the determination that I am, once again, depressed.  Not just "Oh man, I gained some weight." depressed, but real, honest to goodness, curl up in a corner and hide depressed.  I have no energy, no spark, and really no real incentive to move forward with things right now.  I have been in this place many times in my life and usually I have someone around to kick me in the hiney and push me out of it.

This time, I came to the realization on my own.  Yup, here I am again, covers over my head, pull down the shades and disappear.  Not cool.

Realizing what is happening is one thing.  Doing something about it is another.  Somehow, I have to dig down and find that little spark.  If I find it I can persuade it to ignite, but I am having some trouble finding it.

I know I sound whiny, and I do apologize.  But I promised at the onset to put everything down, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Believe me, I feel pretty ugly at the moment!

Then the other night, I had heartburn.  My chest got tight and sort of burned.  I thought for a moment that I was having a heart attack!  If nothing else was going to give me incentive to get motivated again, the terror of that moment did.

So, I know what I have to do, now I just have to figure out how to do it.
