When I become depressed I stop doing things that make me happy, mostly because I can’t focus. Depression makes me fuzzy-headed and unable to concentrate. I especially stop reading. For the last year I’ve barely read anything. I used to be a voracious reader. Last week I picked up my Kindle, loaded with several unread books, and started reading. It was wonderful! It really made me feel like myself again. I’m not as focused and fast as I used to be, before this last horrible depressive episode, but just to be reading again is great. This is how I know I’m doing better.
