My Black Dog

Right now I have been experiencing what Winston Churchill called a black dog meaning depression, I been able to function but it has been hard.

I also been experiencing some stomach problems mostly nausea which may or may not be related. I am on a new med which I hope helps and have not been overeating which has helped as well. I actually had to go home from work on Tuesday because I was dry heaving and having been taking Gravols for the last couple of days as I have been off. This thing with my stomach has been going on and off for months now.

I have been doing some things to help myself like keeping up with my bible reading and I have been focusing on the book of Philippians both reading it and listening for the past few days. It has become one of my favourite books of the Bible and it is an easy read. Although, my prayer has not been as good and needs some work.

I also just finished a book by Lucinda Bassett called From Panic To Power and has been a call to action to me to change some things in my life.I been downloading some books on Kindle that deal with this topic among others. I have been going to great lengths to keep my mind busy throughout this.

I know this like all things will pass and I will be in better spirits. But in the meantime I will have a valley to cross and this black dog is with me.
