I’m really struggling with some hard core depression. And to be honest, if I knew my actions wouldn’t have a ripple effect, inflicting ongoing, excruciating emotional pain for years to come to those who I dearly love, I would check out permanently. I just cannot seem to shake the sadness, it’s all consuming, and I’mContinue reading “March 18, 2024 – A Tale of Two Fathers (Part One)”

March 13, 2024 – On second thought.
I feel really silly right now because after what I thought was a successful launch of a ‘new and improved’ website, which I proudly discussed in my previous post, I have decided to remove it altogether. Why? I guess it has a lot to do with what one considers ‘success’. I honestly thought I hadContinue reading “March 13, 2024 – On second thought.”
September 16, 2023 – Just a brief ‘hello’
I just wanted to drop in for an ever-so-brief ‘hello’. Life has been really challenging lately and I’ve experienced some drastic highs and lows. On the low side of things, I lost my mom. No, I didn’t lose her as one might lose a jacket or a wallet or even a set of keys, she’sContinue reading “September 16, 2023 – Just a brief ‘hello’”
July 18, 2021 – The sounds of silence.
There’s a famous quote, “Be careful what you wish for,” that comes to mind after today’s events. I woke up feeling hesitant about leaving my bed and starting the day. I knew that once I got dressed and headed down the hallway, that eventually I would bump into my husband. I can usually count onContinue reading “July 18, 2021 – The sounds of silence.”
May 7, 2021 – On the outside looking in.
I don’t know what it is about me but I feel like for the better part of my life, I’ve been ‘on the outside looking in’. It’s almost as if the world is a swimming pool filled with people (splashing about and laughing) and they’re all calling out to me, “Come on in, the water’sContinue reading “May 7, 2021 – On the outside looking in.”
May 3, 2021 – Wet Blanket Syndrome
I suffer from a number of maladies, my friends, one of which is ‘wet blanket syndrome’. Do not mistake it for ‘wet bed syndrome’ because although I did suffer from that in the past, I can say with a fair amount of confidence that that is no longer the case. No, I have ‘wet blanketContinue reading “May 3, 2021 – Wet Blanket Syndrome”
April 7, 2021 – Disillusioned
I’m feeling particularly down today. Depression is definitely taking hold. I’ve been doing so well and it’s frustrating to feel the walls closing in (yet again). I had such high hopes about getting things done but what I’ve managed to achieve thus far is nothing to write home about. My attempts at working on theContinue reading “April 7, 2021 – Disillusioned”
January 2, 2021 – Honesty is the ‘best’ policy.
Today blew (and not like the wind). I honestly didn’t think anything could top yesterday, but no! I was mistaken. Waking up with dread and knots in my stomach is not a good way to start the day, but that’s how it’s been for at least the last week to week-and-a-half. And what have IContinue reading “January 2, 2021 – Honesty is the ‘best’ policy.”
January 1, 2021 – New Beginnings and New Endings
Is it just me or does it seem to you (the rest of you that take ‘happy pills’ to get through each day) that you took a placebo instead of the real thing? I could swear someone switched mine out! It sure doesn’t feel like it’s working. I don’t know, despite the new year andContinue reading “January 1, 2021 – New Beginnings and New Endings”
December 1, 2020 – Life Themes (Depression)
I have really struggled with what to write about today. I’ve been feeling really down which frustrates me to no end. Sometimes, despite the medicine and exercise and eating right, my arch nemesis ‘depression’ returns on occasion. And fortunately today, even though I’ve managed to fall into the well, I was able to grab ontoContinue reading “December 1, 2020 – Life Themes (Depression)”
