honesty, sadness

I've made the decision to tell it to you straight here. No glossiness now.
I'm having a tough time.
Going back to school has shaken my emotions, rattled my core. It has brought emotions that I had successfully sidelined to the forefront.
It may be just stress, but I think it is depression.
I am making positive steps to work on getting myself back to normal. I think even recognizing it as an issue has helped me. Looking at the problem subjectively helps me get some clarity.
The clarity brings me a bit of happiness.
I shall update on this subject as changes progress.
