Here I Am. (Sort Of)

Posted by Aaronlax143 in Depressed Dadding and Dilly-Dallying, 24 May 2013 - - - - - - · 77 views

Here I Am. (Sort Of) I say sort-of because it's rare that I'm ever actually fully anywhere. Which is odd, for someone who practices (poorly and nowhere near as regularly as I need to) mindfulness and zen. Which are both all about being somewhere fully. I need to get better at this.
 
Which is also funny, because statements like "I need to get better at" go against the te...

Confrontation With My Sister

Posted by jojin in jojin's Blog, 23 May 2013 - - - - - - · 107 views

I forgot to take my medication this morning, so I went to take them this afternoon.
 
My sister was in the kitchen. I was about to grab both bottles, when she snatched them out of my hand and started questioning me. "Why are you taking these?"
"What's wrong with you?"
 
At first I thought she was joking, but when I tried to grab them back she sn...

So was I not suffering from depression all these years and am actually bi polar?? Or is this the withdrawal symptoms? I am going to continue with the withdrawal and see.....

Vacation Time

My fiance and I are about to go on our first little trip together. We are driving up to Chicago to visit some of his friends and stay with them. Despite my nervousness, I'm pretty excited. It is nice to have something to look forward to, especially since the next week, life is going to suck for about 8 days. I am a little nervous about spending so much ti...

The increase to 20 mg of Abilify is knocking out the psychosis.  THANK GOD!!!
 
I have not hallucinated in the past two days, and my paranoia is improved.  I did not freak out earlier today when someone was fast approaching behind me.  Normally that sets me off and makes me feel threatened, like they are chasing me and are going to att...

No, really.  There's no other possible explanation.  Every single member of my family is fine with me laying in the dirt and dodging crazy men in the wee hours of the morning, clutching onto my clothing for every speck of warmth I can get from it, holding onto my shoes as a prized possession knowing travel, difficult as it is right now, would be...

Walking Contradictions

Walking Contradictions  
Why do we reveal our darkest secrets with ease to strangers, but guard them to those closest to our hearts?  We ingest what we know to be poison and reject medicine.  We are untrustworthy but trust a good looking person within hours of meeting them.  We assume the worst and believe in the best, we hope but dwell in...

Yesterday/today - Horrible.

My husband, Tom - fighting with him has been a huge trigger in the past. He will usually end up telling me stuff during the fight that he has said before. Stuff that I think he knows hurts me, does he care? Is this a control mechanism?
 
He complains about his job all the time. He is seriously underpaid and doesn't care. Life goes on - year after yea...

do you ever sit and think about your life and wonder why? i have all the time in the world outside of work to sit and think. I go over every detail of every incident and ponder where i went wrong, what i did wrong, what i said, how i acted and wonder why. just why.   
 
i dont open up to just anyone, it takes a long while for me to feel comfort...

Don't Mess With Marylin Manson

Posted by Hertz in Almost Random, 22 May 2013 - - - - - - · 40 views

The dream began with a hockey match. One of the goalies was a very young man. His mother had told him what equipment to use. The opposite team had Marylin Manson as one its players. The young goal keeper mysteriously died right after the match, and it seemed the cause might have been linked to Manson. It readily appeared in the dream that Manson killed pe...

Having problems concentrating on anything.  Couldn't even count stitches properly with my crochet project.  I know that I already posted today, but often it helps to write about what is on my mind so that I can move on with my day or empty my head so I can settle down and prepare for sleep.
 
Today I learned of a young man (18yrs old) who c...

Lost And Looking

Posted by Emmaanne13 in Life vs. Death, 20 May 2013 - - - - - - · 123 views

So I really dont know what to do with my life. I can tell you what Id love to do. I wish I could go back in time and change a few choices I made. Starting with never smoking when I was twelve. Or never drinking when I was 16. Or never turning into a drunk or a pill popper or a urn head. Or never moving half way across the country with an abusive partner....

It's hard to tell whether there's light ahead through all this fog, and if there is, what direction it's in.
 
Like someone once pointed out about the "It Gets Better" movement; it might get better, eventually, but in the moment, everything is so oppressive and overwhelming, and it's not surprising when some decide that it's all just too much to bear...

People Suck

Why do people have to suck so badly?

I am so snowed under with uni assessment at the moment because it is ALL group work and I'm finding most people don't pull their weight. Group 1 (5 people and me and another guy do 80% of the work), group 2 (4 people I do 80% of the work, 2 others do 10%, 1 does nothing), group 3 (pair- I do 70% and the other guy does...
