Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

depression


I have depression. I have had it most of my life. I finally got help and it has gotten better. Every now and then I still get very depressed. My depression is coupled with anxiety and panic attacks. I have had a lot of them in my life and they're pretty painful. To be depressed is like sinking into a pit of hopelessness. There is no way out. The more I realize there is no way out the more anxious I become, the more anxious I become, the more I panic. I hate being depressed. It's not something I can take lightly. Even with treatment, I have to work at changing myself and finding ways to deal with the depression. No matter what they say, there is no quick fix.
Gene Tied to Depression, Anxiety
New research suggests a variation on one gene can disrupt a mental circuit, making people more susceptible to depression and anxiety.
