Sitting outside for hours at a time produces anxiety and sometimes depression in me. I have noted in this blog before that I use small sponges to block the nasal passage to that I can stay outdoors at an employer that would not allow a mask for health reasons. I trying to avoid taking drugs, wearing a mask, and staying somewhat sane, I may have to have minor nose surgery.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Next Weather Front Approaches
A thing about mold allergy: as the weather changes my mood changes to extremely anxious, but I realize that if I must go on pharmaceuticals to maintain a job, then I will. I fear to do so because of the side effects of steroids, or any other thing they may give me to give me some sanity. The way I can barely maintain any kind of sanity now is that I wear filters shoved up my nose. The filters are sponges, small celled foam. Then I at times dose with oregano oil.

Nose Filters
I am so allergic to the mold/pollen at this time the only way to stay in the area at work is to wear sponges stuffed up my nose and breath only through my nose. I can't leave the job right away, and my tolerance for the rain and the mold that comes with it may return somewhat by next season, but I can't see myself working outside again next year in the rain and mold. For by the end of the season I would be sick again.
