The Summer of 2011
This is one in a series of posts about the summers of my life. It has seemed for years that my depression gets worse in the summer, and I’m looking for patterns to discern why that might be. The summer of 2011 was a time when I was looking for something new. I felt stuck,…

The Summer of 2012
I’m looking back on past summers in my life, exploring a theory that my depression gets seasonally worse in the summer each year. Throughout the summer of 2012, I was in a call process, which is the funny Evangelical Lutheran Church in America way of saying I was interviewing at a new church. Call processes…

The Summer of 2013

The Summer of 2017
For the next month or so, I am reflecting back on summers in my past, partially to discern why my depression tends to get worse in the summer, and partially as a project to get myself writing again. I’m thinking back on those days, seeing what I did and how I felt, and seeing what…

The Summer of 2018
For the next month or so, I want to write about the summers in my life. I have discerned that my depression is often at a low point during the summer, which could be connected to some “small-t traumas” I have experienced throughout my life during the summer. And yet, despite that, I know that…
