Is Life Just A Series Of Bad Episodes?
What you are about to read here is the truth. This is my life and these are my points of view.
In a way, I suppose that you could call this my depression journal.
I have been living with depression for over 2 years and have decided to document as much as I can. This includes medication, memory loss, and the ugly truth about mental illness and managing depression
Hi everyone, this is a blog where I will share my thoughts about many things but most of all, it’s going to cover medical, mental health and life issues (so it’s about pretty much everything).
I’m not going to go into great detail about any specific illness, but deal more the attitudes of the so called “Professionals” who are supposedly helping us, and the day to day struggles which many of us face…
I was inspired to write this blog by a very good friend, (for now I’m just going to call her “J”) as a kind of self help therapy, and to let people know that there are others out there who may be on the same wavelength. Another reason for writing this is because my wife tells me that I need to get things off my chest instead of bottling it up inside all the time. So on the theory that “a problem shared is a problem halved” I guess that if enough people read this, I should be feeling great quite soon.
You will find that most of this site will discuss my own point of view rather than those of others, this way no one gets into trouble – unless freedom of speech gets abolished next week, in which case I can honestly say that I’ll get screwed for this!
So let’s get the ball rolling…
I’m 44 years old and most people would say that I’ve had a “hard life”, “rough time” etc:
I have had my fair share of funerals, most of them were friends and family (well actually all of them were, I’m not in the habit of attending stranger’s funerals).
I was diagnosed as having M.E. (Myalgic Encephelomylitis) nearly 20 years ago. I spent the early years of this illness in bed, thinking that life as I knew it was over.
In the last couple of years (it could be a lot longer though) I have been treated for mental health issues. More about this subject shortly…
I’ve been married 3 times. Third time lucky, this one is the one I wish I’d found first.
Here is the definition of Karma:
What you put into the world
comes back to you. How you
live your life determines what
kind of life you have.
Here is my definition of Karma
Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed!
SO!
Is it just me or…
The site seems to be taking on a life of its own, people are letting me know that they found the site on different search engines. I’m liking this a lot!
No missed me too
I believe on the first definition of karma. It’s true you get out of life what you put in but unfortunately death and loss is something that happens in life. There are plenty of tough things that happen in life but my philosophy is JUST SMILE AND GET ON WITH IT!!
I like your philosophy Hannah, and mine used to be exactly the same. Unfortunately something changed, what you’ve read about my situation up to now is only really the start of things.
I have tried explaining things to people, and even the professionals, but this confused me even more, and this is the reason for this blog.
In my mind I realise that things happen and I should put them behind me, learn from them or even smile and move on, but somewhere up in the grey matter, something stops that way of thinking and dumps everything into the here and now.
I’m going to try and explain more about this shortly so please call back and see what you think.
