The reason following the mood

I was on a friend's facebook page, reading their statuses over and over again. I miss them. I feel a bit pathetic and creepy, but mostly sad. Lately I've been catching myself doing that quite often--feeling sad and my subconscious brain grasping for ways to justify the mood. There was one notable ride home that started me noticing it. I had been feeling down for about half the ride. About 10 min from home, a reason to be depressed popped into my head and the thought process that led me there just had me in awe. I told myself that I was being completely ridiculous and fought with that inner self the rest of the way home.

Being aware helps some, but it doesn't stop the general mood. It is sucky.

The first step to change is awareness. I love that definition of insanity. I use it on myself often especially in my weight watching challenges.
