Right before I realize I need to recharge, I feel low. That's what I call depression. Fortunately I have never felt what's called "clinical depression." What I feel, for days or weeks, is merely a signal telling me that I need to adjust. How I react to such a signal can lead me into new realizations, fresh growth and wisdom. Inevitably I end up sharing every life lesson I learn.
Sometimes I get depressed. I have a threshold. I keep myself busy, sometimes too busy, and I aim for the ceiling. When I don't reach it sometimes I get disappointed and sometimes the stress of my many activities takes a toll.
