   It’s easy to miss signs of depression sneaking up on you, especially if you lack good registration of your body’s signals.

   I completely missed the increased cravings, especially for carbs; the lethargy; the decreased emotional affect; the need to hide; my bed becoming uncomfortable.

   I know the cause of this episode. I know it will pass. It just sucks to have to deal with, especially since I can’t use my preferred, ahem, herbal acute antidepressant.

     A helpful insight after having debilitating deprexiety for basically the first four decades of my life is that it will never go fully away, only enter remission.

     The downside is that it will come back; the upside is that, at least intellectually, I know it will go away.

     Cold comfort when it’s bloody 0300 and I can’t sleep, though.

     (Yes, four decades. I literally have no memories I can recall from before age 42 not tainted by trauma.)
