In reply to election making depression worse, posted by Louisa on November 3, 2004, at 12:25:45
I've been feeling a bit down & irritable all day. I yelled at the dog, slammed my finger in a door, dropped a bowl of pistachios and cursed.
I too don't really know where to direct my anger and frustration so it just comes out all over, like leaks in a garden hose.
I get this way when there is something dully painful lurking in my mind...it's the election! I'm reminded of a line from the book The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen: -- paraphrasing -- "like a cricket in the salad bowl, like a toothbrush in the toilet" ...that's how I feel; like there is something wrong and somewhat unfixable. We need a new toothbrush and a new salad...
Hopefully we'll all feel better tomorrow...
