Depression compression

So now the weather has turned rotten, pandemic news, and political views have also. Seems like the triple whammy of pressure to depress. And if you add in personal health it can be depressing for sure.

In my case a positive attitude compresses the depression into a low speed bump taken at 20 mph. Just enough to notice but not enough to be concerned with.

Exactly how do I do this? I worry about what I can do something about!

Cannot do anything about the weather other than stay inside or endure it if have to go out.

Pandemic? Again cannot do anything about it other that stay inside or do as directed is going out. Little choice since at risk.

Political? Cannot do anything about it so stopped reading, listening, and watching long ago. Recently stopped talking too. Feel better since my voice only effects local politics.

My advice is to stay calm and weather the storms as you need to. Be active, informed, and prepared; weather, pandemic, and political winds. Be aware of how these can/will effect you so you can act accordingly.

As they say in Jamaica: Relax, Be Happy. To do otherwise can hurt.

I am a retired Controls Engineer, Teacher and Code Officer. While in teaching I worked with students in crisis. This taught me to listen. Before all that I had Testicular Cancer in 1975 . In both cases I had radiation but for the Prostate it was much more detailed, sophisticated, and focal. My initial Prostate Cancer, Gleason 9 aggressive, treatment included Radiation and Hormone therapy. I am now on my third round of treatments. Yes the Cancer has returned but no spreading so far. PET scans, bone scans, MRI and lots of xrays under my belt. Along the way I wrote a book about my Cancer experience, titled the same as this Blog. I need to share my thoughts on Cancer and life in general. Life is too precious to spend it angry, in pain, with fear, and doubts. All I am trying to do is help others with Cancer be better.
