Depression Cures: Escaping the Daily Routine

I just got back from a clinical study I did and i was away from home for 24 days. I can't even describe how good it is to be home. I'm so happy to be back, i'm so much more thoughtful towards my family, i'm so much more appreciative of what I have. This has led me to a light bulb type insight: that it is good to get away from your daily routine and your daily relationships every so often. Who can see the same people every single day and not get sick of them? If you leave for a little while and then come back, then likely they'll be more fond of you and you more fond of them. We save money for cars and houses and big screeen TVs, but we should be saving it for vacations and trips. When you're stuck in the daily routine for too long you stop even being aware of how miserable you are. So if you can get away, do it. And if you can't yet, start saving today.

Hope you're doing well:)

Last Week at the Clinic

Its day 22 and i'm going home tomorrow morning. I stopped taking the medication yesterday and I am now aware that i have been a complete zombie for the last 3 weeks. I can't wait to go home, see my family, get a rock band going, and spend some of this money that i sold me body to science for. The last week went by pretty quickly as all i did was sleep all day, play some guitar in the evening, and watch basketball games at night. I can't wait to see my friends, go out, and eat some frosted mini wheats...Freedom!

Week 2 at the Clinic

Its day 14 at the clinic and i'm starting to get irritable. Every day is exactly the same and seeing the same people every day all day is getting pretty annoying. I'm getting pretty sick of doing tests every day and getting poked with a needle daily. I miss my home, my food, and my family. I'm getting pretty sick of the food too. I'm also hungry a lot because we get up at 6 am and can't eat anything until noon. I'm going to grind it out for the last 9 days but it gets tougher as I go along. Its a great money-making opportunity and day dreams of what i'll be able to do with the money are what keep me going. I hate the cold weather anyways and don't really miss not being able to go outside.
