Intro

As I state above, this is my blog on my struggles and how I fight thru it all. (I'm explaining in two places to make my blog more accessible lol... still learning all this stuff) Let me introduce myself, I will not be using my real name, nor any real names of people included in this, meaning names will be changed so don't try to google them =] ) Ok, so the name I will be using is Dessy, it's a nickname I was given years ago. This is simply a blog on what I've been thru and what I am doing to combat them, my intensions being to provide myself an outlet and provide others who struggle in similiar ways with hope. I hope you enjoy and please no negative comments (this is a blog for hope!)

frustration early in the morning...

Ok so not only did I have to wake up at 7am, but I was up every hour after 1am during the night/early morning... so I was already tired. Had to go to the dentist. On the drive over, the roads were slick cuz it had snowed last night really heavy, so I had to drive like super cautious and I get to a 35mph zone and this jerk decides to cut me off! THINK QUICK DESSY HOW DO YOU SLAM ON THE BREAKS WITHOUT SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS WHICH WOULD CAUSE ME TO FISH TAIL OR SLIDE!!Got there at 8am, then my dad's car decided to start flashing the lights and the horn was going off and I'm like WHAT WHAT STOP STOP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!(when i got home my dad said I had accidently hit the panic button on the keychain thingy) it finally stopped I went in told them I had an 8am appointment, took a seat and at 8:20 they told me my appointment was for 8:30..... grrrr..... then they flossed my teeth so hard my gums tore and bled... come on was that REALLY necessary? i take good care of my teeth!! (Comic relief: I was so tired I was practically falling asleep in the chair lol)

So yeah day was hard before 9:30... now I'm gonna go bake cuz I LOVE baking!! speaking of which I tried baking a gingerbread house in this mold my mom got me... i went to go transfer it from the pan to a cookie tray for decorating and it fell apart.... so yeah the Big Bad Wolf came and blew my gingerbread house down.... let's try this again... just hope I have all the ingredients.... this first attempt was premade dough.... mom's gonna be a little mad.... oopsies

Coping with depression part II

 
Another thing I do to cope is photography. I have two cameras, they were both gifts (well one was a gift, one was my Dad’s and he gave me it to mess around with). I love the sound of the shutter on the older camera and I love the big lens. (in the video I am just rambling about the camera)I like to just walk around the neighborhood to take pictures. Something else I love and am pretty much obsessed with is Sudoku. I love it! That’s about it. Some people bake (which I also do but just for fun… I love to make fondant) It’s a matter of experimenting with things you love to do, with depression things you used to enjoy you don’t really enjoy them anymore. Try doing things you used to love or new things to find things that help you personally. There are so many things that people can do to cope. Also, stay in touch with your friends. Don’t let depression ruin friendships. Letting your illness get the best of you will only lead to regret. Take control of your own life, realize that there’s hope, even if you can’t see it, you will see it eventually. Peace out
