Boy, I know exactly how you feel. I suffered for a long time before I found out that a big symptom of depression is actually that numbness and lack of interest that you describe perfectly. Sometimes it’s not even feeling “sad,” necessarily; it’s just being completely unable to feel joy or excitement. I have two young kids, so it is especially bad when it starts to kick in… they shouldn’t have a zombie for a mom.

Anyway, I finally bought one of those Happy Lights, and I pulled it out this morning. I’m going to use it consistently and see if it helps this winter. Good luck to you.

P.S. I can’t believe they let that guy out on bail?????? WTH

In reply to Erin. Yes! How did you find such a deal? You are going to love cozying up to that.

In reply to Juliet.

I agree Juliet, I think home is so important for me too. I totally let it go throughout the basement renovation this summer and that didn’t help anything. It’s all about the control for me too – I’m glad to know that there are people out there who feel like minded about tidy spaces and PMAs.

In reply to Sally. I know! For awhile there I was avoiding brass and then I bought this brass candle holder and put it in my living room, and now I'm all like, "Brass!".

In reply to katrina. I know, it's so good. Target is tricky too, some of that stuff goes so quickly that I feel like I have to keep stopping in so I don't miss any of it.

I just snagged that black and white buffalo plaid throw from the Faribault Mill Store for 40% off!

Yay! I suffer with it too, and I also find having my home feel as though it’s a comfort and sanctuary is so important. The entire process of tidying, organizing and styling is one of those things over which I can have control when I’m not always feeling that in my actual head. And when all I want is to be wrapped in a blanket, it’s a least a view that pleases me when nothing else gets through. I’m also glad that there’s some good potential resolution to the neighbor issue and should make you feel able to feel secure in your own home.

So happy to hear that you are noticing stylish decor and thinking of cozy comforts. That has to be a good sign.

Thanks for this round up – that brass lamp from Target! Gotta have that!!

Glad to hear you’re doing better. Depression is a monster.
I’m obsessed with the new Target stuff, too! I’ve had to resist buying it all.
