Month’s worth of crap

So here’s the short version of what’s been going on (aka my excuse for not posting more):

My job changed a lot at the end of May. I stopped working with a client I’d worked with for an average of 15 hours a week since I started my job because he wasn’t eligible for therapy anymore. This sucked. I started working with new clients, which was kind of nice but mostly sucked too. I didnt’ feel like I knew what I was doing anymore. And some of their families were pretty much whack jobs.

I thought I was just fine with it all, but it turns out I was rather depressed and didn’t quite know it. Mike helped me realize this (apparently I’d been a little zombie like), and some stuff got better at my job, and so since last week I haven’t been depressed! yay! Actually the one upside of being depressed is that when you’re not anymore the comparison is pretty amazing. Like yoga, when you release a pose you appreciate the relief a lot more because of the pain you had just been in. So I guess this was my month for emotional yoga.

And I’ve learned from all this - when stuff like this happens, eat lots of chocolate, think about what you can change, or just wait for things to get better. And in the end it seems to work out.
