I wish I could tell you all that I’ve not written because I’ve been doing so wonderfully that I haven’t had time. The truth, though, is that I’ve slipped into a pretty decent depression. Not so much progress as back pedaling. It all started when I was left alone for a week while my brother [...]

It’s been a much better week. I’m starting to feel like my old self more and more every day. I’m laughing again and have my sense of humor back. I can distinguish between reality and dreams. All in all, back to where I started with some progress.
I’ve been going out every day, almost. The weather [...]

I know, I know. It’s been forever. I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t love you all. If you want a full explanation, I’ll have to email you the rest of the boring details. I’ll try to give a brief synopses of event since my last entry. It’s kind of a depressing story, at least [...]

Today went really well at the doctor’s office. She and I got along very well and have a lot of the same ideas and ideals. I’d have preferred she give me more benzos, but it’s her call and I’ll go with it.
She put me on Mirtazapine – Remeron is the name here in the US. [...]

The one morning I can’t sleep in later happens to be today. My anatomy seems to be messed up, as my throat is now where my heart resides. While I know the appointment itself won’t be bad, or at least I don’t think so anyway. It’s just that pre-anxiety that’s making me so jumpy.
I have [...]

Today I conquered two huge fears. Leaving home with my father and going to the DMV. I cannot begin to tell you the horror I have about the DMV. But it wasn’t so bad. And it’s step one towards sorting out my health insurance. I did it. I survived. And then I came home and [...]

As you can tell from my last post, I’ve had a bit of depression in addition to the anxiety and agoraphobia. Oh, and I’ve quit smoking, too. I’m just loads of fun this week! I seem to be going from moment to moment in any given attitude.
First I’ll be super excited. I can’t wait for [...]

I’ve spent the majority of my day in bed, having strange dreams about diamonds and email and other random things. I woke up feeling hazy and weepy. I thought I was just having some kind of estrogen surge of some sort until I wound up later on the floor of the restroom. [...]

Just a warning: If the mentioning of menstruating women makes you uncomfortable, this post might be one you’d prefer to skip.
Hello everyone!
Apologies for the length of time between the last post and this one. I’ve had a pretty insane case of PMS for a good week and a half now. It tends to make me [...]
