A Few Random Thoughts

I'm sure nearly everyone has experienced periods, at one time or another, of sudden acute depression without any apparent reason. For some, these periods last for days. For others, a few hours. For those who don't fall into the previous two categories, the periods can vary. I am of the last type.

Recently, I have had a short period in which I was overwhelmed by such a feeling. I was desperately calling friends and trying to find someone to talk to, afraid that my state may become worse as it has in the past, and I may start shaking. After finally getting hold of a friend, I was able to speak for a short time, until she had to go. Again, alone with my thoughts, I was at a loss. For the sake of something to do, I began cleaning and organizing my room, and stumbled upon an old journal. I began reading through this, laughed at my previous naivety, and soon felt much more calm and stable. I suppose that is one of the advantages to saving old thoughts and writings. That reminds me...I left my journal unattented. I should go hide it again...
