Day 37 Hey there, how you doing? Today I stroked a horse and now I want one. I’ll add to the list of animals I want in my life. A dog, a llama, a monkey and a penguin are also on that list. I blame my parents, when I was younger we had a chinchilla…

Day 36 My mood has been inconsistent recently. I’ve not been at work so I can’t even blame that. I feel like my life is lacking excitement, which is weird because I’ve spent the last few days filming with some college students for their final project. I’ve had things to get excited about. I’m gigging…

Day 35 I haven’t posted for three days, this is the longest I’ve gone without posting anything. Commitment is so hard. I have semi-valid excuses though. Friday and Saturday night I was at my parent’s house and although I could have written a blog on their computer, not to mention I took my laptop with…

Day 31 Hello dear readers, today I want to talk about my wall. I don’t mean my Facebook wall, I mean my actual bedroom wall. Quite a while ago after my first dealing with depression, long before this blog was even thought of, I decided that I would put paper on my wall and using…

Day 27. No one should have to work on a Sunday. I did, and I survived. I started to get annoyed and stressed out towards the end of the day but that was mainly because I was so hangry! Getting home and eating pizza quickly resolved this issue. I didn’t manage to do much in…

Day 26 Today I actually forgot to take my pill in the morning, I usually take it when I wake up but it totally slipped my mind. I eventually realised halfway through work so took it when I got home. I’m taking this as a huge positive. I didn’t have that feeling of needing to…

Day 25 Today has been fun and semi-productive. I edited some of my podcast and went through old Facebook messages and emails to make a note of all my up coming gigs. Since I dropped my phone in the toilet I no longer have access to my gig diary. I mentioned briefly in my last…

Day 24 I’ve just come back from a fantastic gig and I feel great. I perform stand-up comedy which essentially, like anything creative, turns your life into an emotional roller coaster. Before I started taking anti-depressants and writing this blog, some of the hardest times to deal with were just after gigs, when I’d be…
