Happy receptors!

As in brain chemical receptors lol. If there is anything to be thankful for in regards to my depression, it is the fact that my change in mood is often short. The receptors in my brain are now receiving the appropriate mix of brain chemicals and they are happy again. I know how crazy all this sounds but it's a big deal for me. I have had to deal with major episodes of depression and anxiety that lasted for weeks at a time. Now they don't last but two days at most and that is truly awesome.

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system let's get on to other fascinating aspects of my life. As if I don't already have a lot on my plate, I am trying to find a hobby that sparks my creative side. I'm thinking scrapbooks and other handicrafts. Plus my cooking skills are itching to be released so that is another thing I'm working on.

Now for something totally off topic! I have fallen in love with the History Channel show Mountain Men. I am all for the homesteading and simple way of living. It makes me think about how wasteful we are and the fact that we need to change how we live. In an effort to remove one wasteful behavior from our lives I am looking into making our own laundry detergent. With as much laundry as I do this is going to save me a ton of money and be one less plastic bottle for me to recycle.

All in all, this scattered and confusing blog is a shining example of how my brain runs during the transformation part of my mental cycle. The coherent thoughts are there, they just get jumbled up with all the other crap and emotions. Rest assured, I am utilizing every single molecule of effort in order to transform my thought process and improve my life.
