That may improve my life and my mood.

As I mentioned in my introduction post, I have severe anger issues and I hate the human race.

What I didn't mention is that on top of that, I suffer from depression.

I refuse to go to therapy right now because I already have enough on my plate... and medical insurance happens to not be a part of that meal.

So here are two changes I'm going to make starting right now:

1. I'm going to make sure to contact my brother at least once a week.
2. I'm going to participate in more of the weird little events and groups that the shelter staff try to get me to participate in. I've already been a part of a weekly writing group, which has been fun and a bit liberating. Also, I went to a banquet this weekend that us shelter residents were all invited to at the last minute, and it's the best night I've had in months. Damn near changed my whole ******* perspective on life - pun intended; I almost got converted to Christianity.

So next time they say there's a picnic or a dance or whatever, if it sounds like something I could have enjoyed back when my life still had meaning, then I'll go.

And I'm never going a whole week without speaking to my brother.

I'll check in when an event comes up or when I've spoken to my brother and talk about how it's changed - or not changed - my life/mood.
