My Depression Didn't Get the Memo

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been kind of crazy with starting up the new podcast, Chasing Awareness, and the book signing last week. So many good things happening right now. Too bad my depression didn't get the memo. 

Honestly, it’s been pretty tough recently. I’m not sure if it’s the slight change in my meds or the trauma work I’m doing with my therapist, but things seem a bit off. I’m emotional overeating, I’m not cleaning my apartment like I should be and I just feel kind of blah. It’s hard to explain. I just don’t feel as excited as I should with all of the lovely things I have going for me right now. However, I am trying to give myself grace and am hoping to pull myself out of this without having to switch up my meds AGAIN since I recently just changed them slightly. When you suffer from comorbid mental illnesses, sometimes it’s hard to know which symptoms need tending to first and which illness you’re even dealing with. Lately I’ve been feeling like my ADHD takes a back seat a lot of times and I don’t give it the attention (pun not intended) it deserves. The fact that this illness removes my executive function is pretty key in how I’ve been feeling so unmotivated lately.

Wow, these little blogging sessions are so cathartic. I end up revealing so much about myself and it ends up being really helpful for me. So anyway, that’s where I am mentally and I’ll keep y’all posted.
