This week is not going very well. That happens now and then. It is when I feel as if I am spiraling downwards and out of control. The future looks bleak during this time. The length of my depression often determines how long I will feel this way.
There are times when nothing seems to be going right for me. This is one of those times. When that happens, I become...

I spent most of yesterday going from one store to another looking for swimming trunks. Wal-mart did not have any, and even though I bought something else, it was hard getting someone to help me check out. I don’t plan on going there again.
Since I absolutely needed the trunks by today, I decided that I would find some even if it meant going to eve...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

When I woke up this morning, I was feeling good physically, with the exception of a mild cold. On the mental front, I can actually feel my depression worsening, which is not good for anyone.
This was pool day for me. I was not excited about going to the clinic. An extra therapist was required to help me get undressed, and then put me on a chair tha...1 Recommendation11 Comments -

I have not enjoyed the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays since I was a child. No matter how many years have passed, I cannot seem to forget that my father died shortly before Thanksgiving, and my mother passed away ten days before Christmas. The fact that I lost both my parents during the holidays has seemingly ruined the joy tha...1 Recommendation7 Comments -
This sure has been a bad week! When it comes to someone who has the ability to pick great girls, I must be at the bottom of the heap!
Someone knocked at my door last Sunday. I opened it and saw a girl of thirty-five who I had not see in almost three years. I had thought she was either in jail or dead. I was partially right; she had served three five-month jail sentences.
I met her four years ago, w...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

Yesterday was kind of rough for me. I saw my psychologist and we talked about the fact that I have not been feeling too well lately. She said this could be caused by stress resulting from a lot of problems and changes in my life.
I told her that I had been having difficulty sleeping at night, and that I had been thinking a lot about the sexual abuse that I h...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

My sister called last night, and we talked about the counseling session I had with my brother on Monday. I had talked with her about this before, but it seems to have become the topic of the week. My sister even spread the word to all of her family about what I told her my brother had said to me regarding being ashamed to be seen in public with me.
I was questio...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

My brother and I met with Dale and Dr. Martin again today. Things went pretty much the way they did last week. I am growing a somewhat frustrated since I do not feel that this is helping my depression very much.
I was asked by my brother how I felt when I heard him say that he was ashamed to be seen with me in public. With some prodding by Dale, I said that I ha...1 Recommendation9 Comments -

I spent much of yesterday waiting on a long-distance call from Florida regarding the new catheters that I am using and having trouble with. The phone call never came, just as I suspected would be the case. If the problems are not resolved by the end of the week, I will make another call to the company that manufactures them. I can be persistent when it is neces...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

Well, this has been some week. It has been a mixture of good and bad things. If nothing else, it does break up the monotony.
Monday morning, I went to the mental health clinic and saw Dale, my therapist. The primary discussion centered on the problems I have been having with my CNA's. Dale said that if none of this turmoil ceases, then he thinks it would be a...1 Recommendation7 Comments
