I saw my doctor today, and he suggested I try to start my own, real-people type self-help group.  I thought it was a worthwhile idea.  When I went home and talked to my wife about it, she thought...

Jeeze, I hate being like this.  I like it when my mind is sharp and I can think and come up with all kinds of witty stuff.  Now someone has snuck in and filled my head with gray mud and filled by...

Just feeling blah, blue, and tired today.  No really good reasons. As usual, I don't feel like doing anything.  Or rather, the things I feel like doing aren't things that my work would like me to...

Vacation continued... The best day of our trip was the day we were in Bruges.  The cathedral we sang in was spectacular, with 30 meter high ceilings and gold and stained glass windows and ... well...

So, how does one go about summarizing a week in two different European countries with a tour group and a highly unstable bi-polar wife? I am left with a wash of experiences and emotions dimmed by as...

I survived my trip to Belgium and Amsterdam.  It was one of the most confusing, happy, depressing, dull, and embarassing time of my life. The first question the reader will want to have answered...

She's been crying, yelling, shouting that she doesn't want to go.  Then she's fine. This is destroying me.  My head is so messed up right now.  I can't think.  How the hell am I supposed to pul...

She doesn't want to go.  A week overseas.  The trip of a lifetime.  She doesn't want to go. She must have said it about 50 times.  I keep nodding and saying "I know."  She has all these...

Well, it's going to be a busy day, but it should be a good one.  Have to get ready for our trip and I have to drive all over creation this morning and clean the house and pack and call doctors and...

Wow!  I fell asleep at 8:30 last night.  11.5 hours!  Guess I needed it, because I woke up with a smile on my face. My wife, unfortunately, is not doing as well.  We're supposed to leave for...

I'm feeling much better this morning.  Not great, but almost anything had to be much better than my mood last night.  Word to the wise, never trust or believe the words you say to yourself more...

So, I'm in a bad mood again tonight. And I'm too tired again to find my way out. My wife calls me bad things, and in one part of my head I know she's right.  In another part I know that she's...

I'm feeling a little better today, but am much to tired to explain why.  Good night.

I've been more depressed than than this before in my life, but there is something different about this time.  I've just been feeling black and I've been unable to drag myself up. No energy.  I'm...

Today should REALLY be Friday going into Saturday.  Another work day to go through just isn't fair.  I've done good so far at work this week.  I don't want to have another day were I can possibly...
