Depression and being positive

Sometimes, we just have to admit defeat and succumb to the pain that defeat brings upon us and that's exactly what happened to me this past week. Defeat is just a feeling that none of us wants to feel but at one point in our lives, we just have to accept it because we all experience defeat. For some reason, I felt that I was defeated by many things last week... by things that I do not and cannot control. Of all things, I just hate things that I cannot control because I cannot do something about it. One day, I just felt that there's nothing that I can do and I begun assessing my life and blaming it to random events in my life until I just felt tired and unhappy. I had to do a lot of projects but I just end up not being excited about anything. I was not even excited to do shopping and I end up eating ice cream for two straight days. I went to the gym just to ran for twenty minutes. I felt that endorphines are not and will no longer be reproduced again even if I ran for 2 hours. I felt that I lost my passion to do things. I don't even enjoy watching tv. I just watched tv so that the silence won't deafen me. I would even dine alone in our house or not eating at all. I started moving on when I decided to go out with my friends even if I lost the energy to do so. After letting all my feelings out, I just realized that despite things being uncontrollable, there is always something that I can do to make things better for me. I may have done something crazy but here's what I know, I will not regret that, I still respect myself, although I lost 5% and I feel that I am again in control of something again. I am just trying to see the positive  in things. I am now starting to work on my painting again and writing on my blog and fixing my sched. For the next few days, there are a lot of catching up to do so there will be no OT's, post-shift shopping and hanging out at the mall. I have to recalibrate my goals and focus and just keep on seeing the positive and things will be different for me.
