That was a terrible pun, but a good poem. :) Are you feeling seasonally affected as well? The darker weather always throws me, and I tend to have my dark nights of the soul between Autumn & Winter. Especially the "Argh! What have I DONE with my life?????" moments. Or hours. For me there's nothing for it then, but to wake up properly, get up and make a cup of tea and write it all down, no matter how crazy. It helps me tame the franticness of the feeling, your own mortality, the shortness of time you have to get things done, what you haven't yet done, how you've failed yourself and everybody else in the ENTIRE WORLD... etc etc etc. Sometimes the hyperbole catches up with me and I start to laugh at myself. Sometimes I can just calm down enough to keep breathing and remember the people I love. Sometimes I can even come up with a sensible list of things to do tomorrow that will make me feel better. ;) Writing a poem is good. What else do you do to deal with it? You're still here, and that's a sign you're doing something right, even if it doesn't feel like it!
