Not Too Sweet Depression

Today, and for a few days now, I've been consumed with this overwhelming sense of hopelessness, grief, and loss. I believe this to be depression at the moment.

I have had times like these before, but back then I would sooth these feelings with foods. Sweet foods mostly. Something to fill the void. Something that can take my mind off my feelings, my thoughts, and put me back into my body. My very uncomfortable feeling body that has either eaten too much or is high on sugar.

The weight of these feelings cannot be fixed with food anymore. That form of comfort will kill me. It feels very hard to not reach for food, so I try other methods; exercise, crafts, blogging, holding the cat. They help in their own way.

I need to talk to my doctor about this on my next visit. Perhaps I need more medication. I would rather not.

Stay sweet, but not too sweet!
