Remember when I said in an earlier thread that I feel much better if I get a good night's sleep. Well, on days after insufficient sleep, I am vulnerable to feeling depressed, and it is only recently that I have been able to alter the automatic interpretation that I make when I feel this way. I used to notice this feeling and call it depression, as in, I am on my way down into the hole again. Now, I ask myself questions, including, "did I get sufficient sleep last night?" and if the answer is no, I frame the mood as fatigue-induced depressed mood. That takes a big burden off. In fact, it stops being so much of a depressed mood, and more of a "I'm sleep deprived and moody" mood.

Interpretation is everything. Doing it differently is new to me, but I'm trying.
