The very real side of #lifeafterhysterectomy for me has included a low-level #depression. Very similar to #dysthymia. Sometimes, we don’t realize we are depressed because we aren’t “that” depressed. We aren’t rockbottom, so this “functioning” depression doesn’t feel like depression.#Functioningdepression looks like:
* Making yourself presentable, but only just barely. * It makes everything you do seem like you are in slow motion. * Making it to work every day, but maybe a few minutes late. * Scraping by, counting the minutes on the clock until you can go home. * It can be burying yourself in the day just to make it pass, but most often, it’s just the idle passing of time, waiting for that magic hour when you have lunch and then can start your next countdown to going home to your sanctuary where no one bothers you. * It feels like there’s not enough coffee in the world in the morning to wake you up. Or that there’s not enough sleep in the world to cure your exhaustion.
Lately, I’ve been trying to incorporate more #positivity into my mindset to offset the low-level hum of depression.
