Tonight,I am still feeling down.Despite that,I had a pretty good day today.
The work day went smoothly.I simply did what I had to do in the time allotted and when I was finished,I simply bagged everything clean and I dropped it off at the rehab center.I headed for home after that.
On the way home,I dropped off a newspaper at a couple of houses and I went to a local supermarket to pick up a few things.After paying for those,I headed straight home.
When I got home,I unpacked everything and I put them in their appropriate places.I also relaxed a bit and took it easy.I didn't watch and TV because there was really nothing on that I wanted to watch.It was good to have it quiet for a while.
I did manage to do one more thing.I went to a local Burger King to pick up a couple medium packs of onion rings to have as a side dish for dinner.
After eating,I watched the evening news for a while and I also did some more personal PC work.I also did soem internet browsing and I played a little game online.Overall,a pretty good day.
I am still feeling some depression.I was feeling funky for much of the day.I did manage to get my job done and all the other things that I needed to get done.This has been the pattern with me.I feel funky for much of the day but when the evening comes,it levels off a little and I am not feeling as funky as I have.I have been taking my medication and I have been following all the things that the nurse practitioner and my therapist have been telling me to do.But I am still not where I should be with my depression.I am still feeling funky for much of the day and I am wondering if there is something else that I need to do to help alleviate this depression that I am feeling.I am hoping to be out of this funk very soon because I want to feel better and be better.I am hoping that I won't be feeling funky for very long.
The only really good thing is that it hasn't had any impact or effect on my struggles with SSA.
Tomorrow is simply a pick-up day.I am hoping that the pick-up goes well.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

I think it's good that the depression is not preventing you from doing what you need to do each day. Maybe you can discuss with the psychiatrist and the nurse practitioner whether a very slightly higher level of medication would take away the funk without giving you bad side effects.
Alternatively, you might want to try a brief cardiovascular workout in the morning when you wake up — something to elevate your heart rate enough to release the endorphins in your brain.
N.G.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement.
