The economy is not helping my blues.

Its one thing to be depressed but its even worse when you are jobless in a poor economy. I can't help but be a little scared going into the holiday season without a job. I doubt I can find a job within the next three weeks but that is what I am going to try for. I figure if I put in a massive effort emailing resumes and visiting temp work offices, something might come up, even with my spotty employment record thanks to chronic depression and anxiety.

Today I have yet to start my Effexor but I am likely to begin tomorrow. As always I am taking a script of clonazapam for my anxiety but my doctor wants to discontinue it. It will be nerve wracking going off of an anti-anxiety medicine but the time has come to do it. I have been taking benzos for years and its time to get off of them.

Time to cook some chicken.
