Seeing

Last month I dipped into a depression as I was changing around my meds.  What is important about the experience  is what I missed while I was so busy dealing with depression.  The day the meds started working I saw brighter colors, was more observant of other people needs and generally more part of the world.  But what was also interesting is that I had no ideas that colors could be brighter, that other people are not all bad and that I was not fully participating in the world.  Depression is so cunning when it screws up one’s reality by changing things in such small ways that you don’t see it coming.
