Just a Girl - Gwen Steffani and Tom Dumont (No Doubt)

I know it has been quiet a while since I last made an entry in my diary. I have a confession to make. I’m not sure if I said it previously but I suffer from clinical depression.

I’m self diagnosed because for a long while I did not have health insurance coverage. This little dilema makes it very expensive to go to the Doctor’s office and pay for treatment out of pocket. I did not see the point in doing this because I already know what I have. Instead of taking something like Prozac I go to the store and buy St. Johns Wort instead. When I have an episode of depression I find it difficult to focus or get out of bed.

Suffering from Clinical Depression is one of the main reason for the gaps between my output of artwork and entries into this diary. The other reason for the gaps is because of working overtime at my day job. Recently, we have not been that busy at work. So that gives me plenty of time to come home and paint without feeling exhausted. I promise to write a, “What I Did Over the Summer” essay later today.
