... But The Truth Is, I'm Not Social At All

Bleh. I've just been feeling bleh, bordering on depressed. I don't know why. I am pretty sure there's not a "why" behind it so much as just a bad combination of chemicals in my brain hitting me at the wrong time, when the weather is shit, and so many things in my life are just blah. I was feeling weird all week, and started realizing I was in fact depressed by the end of the week.

I started self-medicating, well, taking a larger dose of Wellbutrin. And that seems to be helping, a lot. I had a lot of energy yesterday, and used it to clean my house and do my laundry. And I watched a bit of the Puppy Bowl with Kiki, who seemed to really enjoy it. In fact, she liked looking at the dogs more than at the Kitten Halftime show. I was actually kind of surprised how homogeneous the kittens did look because they were almost all tabbies. Where are the sleek black cats? The siamese mixes? The torties? I know it's not really kitten season and it was probably hard for them to get a good selection, but I would have liked to have seen more variety.

Anyway, I'm working on it. I recognize the problem and am dealing with it as best I can. I'm glad I have therapy tomorrow. I'm still not feeling like contacting people I don't know, but I'm not cutting myself off from my friends.

Sorry that things have been kind of bleh for you. Hope it gets better soon.

Kitten season is over the summer. They tend to mate in warm weather, around spring, and the kittens pop out all summer long. It probably is different in cold climates, but in California, we have them year round, but way more in the summer.

:( I hope you feel better soon. I realize it's one of those constant stuggles, but I hope you get to your happy place soon anyway....

On the subject of kittens, my sister found what looks to be a snowshoe simese....she's already named it...I'm pretty sure it's hers at this point! :)
