Psych Central has posted the 2007 Best of the Web -Depression Blogs.
There are a number of blogs in there I haven’t read before, I’ll definitely be taking a look. Perhaps while I sit at JFK tonight waiting for my delayed flight home. At least there’s wifi!!
Pin Read that again. “Everybody assumes that other people are far more observant than they really are”
Now think about how much time we spend worrying about how we appear to other people, who are not as observant as we think they are.
Pin I’m sure you’ve all seen the Facebook “thing” going around asking folks to post their Senior pictures to show support for the kids who are going to miss out on prom, and graduation, etc. this Spring due to the virus lock down. I’m sure many of you have also seen some posts questioning why sharing…

It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to keep me connected to life and other people.

It occured to me yesterday while I was filling out a 200 question “personality profile” as part of my job search, that I’ll never be able to sit and take that sort of things without thinking about the hours and hours spent filling out similar profiles for depression screening, etc. back when I first started…

I’m off for my own week-long trip myself. I hope yours perks up after the delay. I’ll try to look at these “best of” blogs before I go. Thanks for the tip!
