I've never successfully maintained a blog for any extended period of time. However, because I am a sufferer of mental health problems, I feel it is my duty to at least attempt to share my situation and help to do my part (all be it ever so small) to edge our society away from stigmatizing us.

I don't know how well I'll do chronicling my daily struggles here, but I'll certainly be committed to giving it my best shot. Along the way, if it only assists even just one person, any fallout will be worth it and, at the end of the day, if there's comfort / support / aid / whatever to be had, it'll definitely make life better for me as well.

Sometimes just knowing you're not alone is enough. Here you are most emphatically not and if you ever need someone to only listen, please feel free to email me. Because I'm glad you've stopped by and you are always welcome. Via this, maybe we can all make it to a brighter, more functional day. So read on my brothers and sisters....




Forever peace,

Kemi~

Anxiety Sucks

Posted 27th May 2009 at 02:52 PM by joyfool (Halo of Whys)
Giraffiti anxiety, depression

And I'm down again. I'm not sure why or what I'm doing wrong (for example, I've stuck to my 'routine' today and put in a couple of hours at the Senior center), so what I need to improve, or how, is escaping me at the moment.

I feel like I need a life overhaul, but that's what I just had through the outpatient program. If only there was some way to completely reboot my system, I'd be on board with that no matter what the cost (like say, ECT or what-have-you).

Now...

Ever Have One of THOSE Days?

Posted 3rd May 2009 at 04:40 PM by joyfool (Halo of Whys)
Giraffiti anxiety, anxious

Where you just don't feel like posting to your blog or doing much of anything else? Well, if I remember correctly, I used to have those before I ever got 'sick.' But now days with me on the mend, I never know if these are just normal par-for-the-course occurances or if it heralds something deeper that I'll need to address.

So here I am hoping it's just a funk instead.

I don't know what to talk about today. I haven't felt like doing much around the house, although...

Several Steps Forward, One Step Back

Giraffiti anxiety, normalcy

It seems like no matter how well I do or how hard I work, something is always more of a struggle than it should be after so much effort. It gets more frustrating whenever there's only seemingly >thismuch< standing between me and normalcy.

For example, I have to go across town today to see my family. Now that's never a thrilling prospect but today it's right on the cusp of dealing with my OTP tomorrow and it's freakin' me out in the overwhelming department.
