I am writing after a long time and that too to vent out some of my depression. It has been raining continuously since morning and I feel very depressed. There are many more factors of this depression. My kids are sick. My husband is too busy at work to talk to me. I am struggling alone with cranky kids and also with this horribly depressing day.
I wonder how weather can play an important role in lifting or sinking your moods. I remember a few months back also my kids fell ill and it was a bright sunny day with very warm temperatures. My hubby also took half a day off from work to help me through that time. And I didn’t feel so depressed that time. Also my kids have the tendency to fall sick together. My older one brings infections from school and passes them on to my younger one too.
As for today I feel everything is so dark and gloomy. It is actually dark outside because of cloudy skies and also within because of sickness in the home. I too have begun feeling sick now. But I know that it is only a matter of perception. If I begin to look at bright things I am sure I will enjoy the day as well. To start with I should be thankful that both the kids are cooperating so well. They could have thrown some more tantrums to make my life seem like a torture. Also when my husband comes home, he is a great help with kids.
Still this depression will go only once the bright sun shines down through my window and when my kids are up and running around the house again. Till then I can only say "Rain rain go away, Come again another day"!!

Amen to that Abha! The incessant rain during May had driven me nuts. I was grouchier that ever. And to think I was born in a place which would have rivaled this one for rain.
Oh and by the way, there is this invention called telephone you know. You can use to speak with people far away (hint hint). Might alleviate the depression, or we can share pointers (on second thought no sharing depression)
