Depression

A little better today…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on December 8, 2009

…but outside it’s raining buckets.

Lily doesn’t mind the rain and loves the cold.  Sometimes we have to drag her or trick her with treats to get her in the house for the night.  She wants to stay out in the cold 24/7.   A few minutes after I took these photos she appeared at the back [...]

I didn’t go…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on October 27, 2009

I got up to go.  Took a shower.  Made sure to wear a pair of my favorite shoes.  Took my husband to work.  Went to my on campus appointment.
The sinking dread and sadness kept increasing with each passing moment.
I kept trying to focus on the good things:

there might be cake
I can sit with the Uber [...]

Turtles, Monkeys, and Skeletons…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on October 23, 2009

… oh my!
So at my therapist’s office they have all these toys and puppets for when working with children.  There are different items in every room and they have the most wonderful puppets!  Like this turtle that I know Darling Hubby would love:

And here is a cow on a monkey’s back (et al)!

Yes, my therapist [...]

“It’s not a tumor!”

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on September 25, 2009

Remember that scene in Kindergarten Cop when Schwarzenegger’s character says he has a headache and one of the kids tells him it might be a tumor?
I think about the scene a lot.  Because I know "it’s not a tumor!"
But if it were — it might could be cut out and then the pain would stop [...]

I am only good…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on September 23, 2009

…for about 3 hours on the computer before I am slammed with a headache that would make a grown man cry.
That’s how bad it is.
Sometimes it’s’ only two hours…
Two hours of computer time.  Then I have to take a long break — sometimes another three or six hours.  Basically the rest of the working day.  [...]

What is it I ache for…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on September 12, 2009

I wish I knew…
I wish I knew why…
What is it I need?
What is it I’m missing?
What have I been missing all my life?
There must something —
why else all this pain?
All my life I’ve been aching.
I ache.
What am I suffering for?
Why did it start?
I remember so very long ago
I was just little child
maybe all of three
standing [...]

Sometimes she seems to have grown overnight…

by ɹǝƃƃolquǝʞoʇ on September 7, 2009

… the Lily puppy, that is.  She looks bigger than yesterday already!
So here it is Monday.  Labor Day.  Work Holiday.
I’ve been dealing with headaches since last Monday afternoon.  It started out as a migraine.  It could still be a migraine, Idunno.  Never had one last this long.
Just here it is another Monday and my head [...]
