"My Mom passed away yesterday morning."
1:14am Wednesday
Trying to change my attitude Mood
Saturday, November 7, 2009 | A General Update story

I went to the doctor today for my physical. I have lost 48 pounds due to depression. I had the doctor run tests for STDs. I did a stupid thing and had sex once when I was in a manic phase. I hope with all my heart, the tests come back negative. I once heard "you're only as sick as your secrets, so I'm telling This secret here. I'm ashamed of it, but I can't undo it.

Three friends have forgiven me, and I love them for it. Maybe as time goes on, more friends will forgive me.

Last night, my mom managed to stay up late enough to watch Monk with me. I think she enjoyed it. I bought a fish dinner from the Masonic Temple nerby. She kept saying how much she enjoyed it. It made me feel good. It made me realize how I have to keep making her happy while she's here with me and find joy in doing this.

 

I am thankful I'm skinny again, even if it is due to depression.

I am thankful for my three friends supporting me. Ohana, Penny, and SuzyQ

I am thankful I made my mom happy today.

    I love Monk : ) but often I find Dad is laughing away and I have a tear sneaking out the corner. Just remember that happiness you created for her. That is a blessing to both of you and such a gift you are giving your Mom and as I say that I can hear Mom calling down to me to listen to yourself. Still find it hard to see past the hard times. BIG HUGS : ) Suzi
