Climbing Out

It's May. Usually depression hits me during the fall so that by May I've been fighting it for several months and starting to come out of it. This year I did pretty well over the fall and winter months, but suddenly it hit me full on and knocked me down.
There are a few events that are beyond my control that are contributing to my current bout of depression. Yes, I am a control freak to some degree and when suddenly I feel things all around me getting away from me and uncertainty creeping in, I want to crawl into bed and cover my head. I want to play Rip Van Winkle, but this time I'm having trouble sleeping so I can't even escape in my dreams.

Sorry to trouble you with my situation, but I know that several of you fight depression too, so I know you understand and sympathize.
Summer is here in Missouri and this year our rose bush is having it's best year ever.
 Usually it puts out one or two flowers for the season, but this year it's covered.
Today it's hot and muggy so the dogs know what to do. Find a spot under a tree and wait till the silly humans let them back into the air conditioning.
I'll try to be cheerier next post.

Sorry May has hit you so hard, but with recent events, it's understandable. Enjoy your rose bush, try to laugh at the Porties, and I hope you're feeling better soon.
