I've considered that. I might be clinically depressed now, but since it's not nearly as bad as I used to be, I write it off as "I'm fine. I've been much worse."

I've considered that. I might be clinically depressed now, but since it's not nearly as bad as I used to be, I write it off as "I'm fine. I've been much worse." I really hate the idea of taking mind-altering medication regularly. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child (erroneously, I believe) and took medication everyday for years. A few years ago, I deemed it no way to live and weened myself off of it. As a transitionary step, though, I guess I'd be open to it. Ah, yes. I didn't touch on sleep. It has wavered over the months. It's better now, but not perfect. Often I sleep more than 8 hours, even though I have alarms set for 0800 and 0900. I do use melatonin when I have difficulty falling asleep. I think a lack of a "need" to wake up at a certain time (for work) induces laziness in me.
