Where the hell have I been? Good question. I’ve been busy juggling the various aspects of my life and not doing a very good job of it. It’s been odd not having read or written any blog articles for a couple of weeks. It’s good to be back. Well kinda. An update regarding my depression. […]

Sick and Tired
It’s been a difficult ride lately. I’ve been sharing for a long time now that I’ve been dealing with depr3ssion. I mean, yeah, I live with it daily, but it’s been beating me beyond normal wear and tear. I met with my therapist on Wednesday and we discussed this. He was surprised that I have been unsuccessful getting my […]
Gain a Few, Lose a Few
(sigh) Another frustrating weigh in on Saturday. I knew the scale was not going to be my friend. It practically growled at me when I walked in the door. I’d made a decision, beforehand, that I was not going to get weighed. My tighter clothing told me it was not going to be pretty. I […]
School
No posts from me so far this week and that frustrates me. As I mentioned in previous posts, I’m currently following the advice of my pdoc and am taking only one course this fall. I was angry at him and myself. It turns out it was a good decision. I’m taking English 101 and I’m […]
Neat and Tidy
Our apartment will never be featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Maurice works long hours and I am terrible at housework. It’s all or nothing for me. I try to keep the place tidy, but, once it gets a little messy, I start to feel overwhelmed and let it go. This goes on and on […]
From Humiliation to Humility
As some of you may recall, my pdoc was not thrilled when I told him I had signed up to take four classes this semester. He tried to convince me to take only one class. He thought it was far too soon for me to attempt to go to school full time. I negotiated down […]
Bring Change 2 Mind
I was aware that Glenn Close has a sister, and a nephew with mental illness and that Glenn is active in helping to erase the stigma of mental illness. What I did not know is that she is the founder of Bring Change 2 Mind which is a national anti-stigma campaign. (I’m sure many of […]
My Doctor Was Right, Dammit!
A week ago I was pretty upset. I had planned to up the number of classes this Fall semester and become a full time student. My pdoc thought otherwise. He told me I should only take 1 class and I fought him on it. Later, based on my respect for him, and on feedback from […]
What Kind of Week Was It?
Well, it’s the end of the week and I’ve had it in my head that it’s been a good week and was wondering what I could post about today. Then I realized something – I have totally ignored my food intake and my exercise this entire week. I don’t know what my weight is currently, […]
Doom is Back
I had a good weekend, overall. Friday night Maurice and I had a nice dinner and then went to see a movie. Saturday we drove to the desert to visit his parents and had a good time, and Sunday we had lunch and great conversation with friends. The weather was hot but we had beautiful skies. […]
