I made this layout last year when i was suffering from depression. There is a quote and journalling under the photo flaps.
Quote; "Your mood doesn't really matter. Some of the best creative work gets done on the days when you feel that everything you're doing is just plain junk." - Julia Cameron.
Journalling; Scrapbooking is one of my favourite pastimes. It helps to express emotions and record important moments. Although we try to forget the bad times and only reminice about the good, I wanted to make this layout about having depression because its part of my life. I wanted to make it for me.
It all started at the end of September last year (2006). I got the flu. Bad. This brought on my glandular fever again. I didn't have much energy and didn't feel like doing alot but didn't think anything of it. That was until sometime in Feburary when i started to cry alot. This was unusual as i generally cry about once a year.
It's hard to tell where the glandular fever ended and the depression started because fatigue is a major symptom of both. Another thing that happens is you loose interest in things you enjoy. For me this meant instead of going to rodeos, B&S balls, or country music concerts I was happier to stay at home and lie on the couch. And instead of going for long drives I always wanted someone to drive me, even the shortest distances.
The only thing I didn't loose interest in was my scrapbooking. What did happen however, was my pages consisted of alot of grey and black, colours that had previously never featured in my albums.
So im back on the mend now and really can't wait till im a lot more myself again. July 2007.
No products have been added to this project.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
