█ Mostly writing this journal as a sort of marker for the state of my mind, which is to say that I've been working whist depressed. Not that's a particular special thing, as I'm sure a lot of people do that on a daily basis; I know I certainly did it when I worked a normal job, going through all the daily motions. Though going through the motions is easy when you only need to set your brain to neutral. Slightly different when I have to apply my brain when it comes to drawing, still been pulling it off semi-okay.

In any event, I'm managing my depressive episodes slightly better. I did have that familiar feeling of crushing hopelessness and pointlessness a few days back, but the worst bit of it only lasted a couple of hours as I put on the mental breaks on that thought before it turned into a negative feedback loop. I wouldn't say I've recovered from it as I still find myself low on energy, but I'll take low energy over feeling miserable.

Incidentally, I don't place blame on my less than stellar mood on the approaching holiday as it holds no meaning to me. If anything it's coincidental (and was about two weeks too early anyways).
