Journal Entry for September 17, 2007
Man! I'm feeling really tired today. Yesterday I felt okay. Then I got up this morning and it was a whole different ball game. I lay in bed …
I am on S.S.D. I am single and live in a room and board facility. There are a lot of things I use to like to do, but depression came crashing like a tidal wave and destroyed everything. Now that the tide is out I can survey the damage. I'm a work in progress, kind of like New Orleans after Katrina. I have my Dad and my brothers. They really don't under- stand depression, but I know they care. I have a very good therapist and were breaching the wreckage of my life one day at a time. I feel very lonely at times. Life can be good I believe. I'm cautiously optimistic about my future.

Interests? Hell, I don't know! I know I use to have them. I use to play the guitar. I use to like to listen to music. I use to like to go to the movies. I use to write poetry. I use to have friends. Drinking heavily periodically use to be an interest, but I believe I'm better off without that one. I'm really glad I have a computer, so thats a real interest of mine. Well I guess that about does it. I have a cat and dog at my Dad's house and they really do help me a lot. Unconditional love.

DON'T GIVE UP! Great attitude to have towards this f*** up depression crap
I've had to deal with depression since I was a child, but was not diagnosed with it until my late 30's. Its been an ongoing battle that I'm afraid I've lost more than I've won. It cost me nearly everything dear to me, though I'm blessed to still have my father and brothers in my corner. I live in a room and board place and I'm looking foward to rebuilding my life.
