Depressive Episode

I’m having a major depressive episode.

A downswing anyway, and a couple of harsh events kicking me while I’m down.

Not suicidal, don’t worry. People know, people are looking out for me and checking in on me. I’m just having a hard time doing more than the bare minimum* and keeping up with my pre-existing commitments.

I might be even grumpier, shorter and more sarcastic than usual.

I’ll do what I can manage, but it’s a clench-your-teeth and ride it out sort of situation.

*The bear minimum is one bear, specifically a sun bear cub, as these are the smallest extant species of bear.
