Managing [View all]

Hi, I’m a middle-aged suburban Dad with no real problems except for inheriting a depressive disorder from both parents. (Hip hip hooray, DNA!) Does anyone else feel like they have two brains sometimes, an anxious one and a serene one? I’ve been depressed since a sleepless, nauseous Election Night. (Hip hip hooray, USA!) But sometimes, I’ll be cheerful and productive while still battling sh!tty, invasive thoughts. Might be the meds, might be some syndrome. Any experience with this phenomenon?
