There's something to be said for resting. Really resting. As well as talking some things out.
I don't have much planned for this weekend, but last weekend, I said, "no," to nearly everything. I told everyone I just needed a weekend of nothing; no doing; no dates; nothing. I was telling my boss, before that weekend, how much I knew I needed it. He acknowledged that we had been going 100 mph for weeks with extra projects; BESIDES doing our regular jobs. That got me to believing I was just plain exhausted.
After last weekend's rest, I felt normal. The best part of that is proving God right. He told us to take a day off every week, because we need the rest. Somewhere, I read about a study that proved that the human body needs a day of rest. I believe I'll try to take that a little more seriously.
This week was so much better for me, as well as all of those around me! I was able to look at all the things happening around me and enjoy them, or laugh at them.
No, I'm not sinking into that pit. I'm just going to have to remember that exhaustion can cause extra worries. Spending time in a good fruitful book, listening to some great music and not trying to get caught up on anything are good antidotes to weariness and the threat of depression.
